Azhagi was a critically acclaimed film made by Thankar Bachchan, featuring Parthipan, Nandita Das and Devayani. The protagonists meet as children and are drawn to each other even at that tender age. The love that blossoms between them only grows stronger as they grow older and even as life separates them cruelly before they can find the courage to acknowledge what they have. Their love is doomed to fail but nevertheless it is destined to rule the course of their lives. A squeaky clean portrayal of young love ensured that the film escaped the wrath of the moral police.
