Priyamaana Thozhi

Priyamaana Thozhi
(translates as "lovable [female] friend")
2003
3/5 stars

Julie (Sridevi Vijaykumar) and Ashok (Madhavan) have had a deep, platonic friendship since they were children. When Ashok becomes engaged to Nandini (Jyothika), Julie is ready to make any changes needed for the happiness of the marriage. By the same token, when Julie and Michael (Vineeth) fall in love, Ashok is willing to sacrifice his dreams for the benefit of her future.

This is a sweet, but sometimes sappy, movie about the beauty of true friendship.  The plot, while not fully believable, is enjoyable.  The acting is generally good, but Madhavan's emotions were not always convincing.  The music is quite lovely, though the choreography leaves much to be desired.  Priyamaana Thozhi won't necessarily be memorable, but it is still entertaining.
