Yuvan and STR never fail to disappoint when they combine. AJ Murugan donned the director's hat in the movie which has Jyothika and Sindhu Tolani in important roles. The songs were a hit and with a compelling storyline and neat direction, Manmadhan was a huge hit. Manmadhan steered cleared to victory in spite of competition from other movies like Arasatchi for the 2004 Deepavali.
