==Plot==
Maayaandi Thevan ([[Vijayakumar (Tamil actor)|Vijayakumar]]) is very fond of his younger sister Virumaayi ([[Radhika]]). She too pours love and affection onto Maayaandi. Virumaayi is married to Sivanaandi ([[Napoleon (actor)|Napoleon]]) from the neighbouring village. Sivanaandi's brother-in-law Periya Karuppu ([[Suryakanth]]) does not like Maayaandi and tries to create a rift between them. During a village festival, he creates a problem between Maayaandi and Sivanaandi, causing the family to split. Periya Karuppu's wife realizes this and commits suicide. Thinking that Maayaandi is the reason for this, Sivanaandi breaks all ties with him and forbids Virumaayi from seeing her brother. Periya Karuppu also dies soon after that.

Years rolls by and Maayaandi's son Seenu ([[Vignesh (actor)|Vignesh]]) comes back to the village after studying in the city. He sees his cousin, Virumaayi's daughter Pechchi ([[Rudra (actress)|R.V Aswini]]) and they both rekindle their love. Sivanaandi finds out and tries to separate the couple. He arranges Pechchi's wedding with his nephew Chinna Karuppu ([[Pandiyan (actor)|Pandiyan]]), who is a spoiled brat and womanizer. Pechchi, with the help of her mother, escapes home and meets Seenu.

A fight ensues between the two villages, with Maayaandi and Sivanaandi accusing each other for what Pechchi and Seenu did. Chinna Karuppu fights with Seenu, and in the end Seenu wins. Chinna Karuppu says that he is not an enemy to their love but hates his uncle Sivanaandi as he did not help his father Periya Karuppu, leading to his death. At the fighting ground, Virumaayi asks Maayaandi to spare her husband's life, but Sivanaandi tries to kill Maayaandi. Virumaayi comes in between and gets wounded in the neck by Sivanaandi, much to everyone's shock. She removes the nuptial string from her neck, declaring that she does not have any more relationship with Sivanaandi. She dies in her brother Maayaandi's arms. Maayaandi carries Virumaayi while a devastated Sivanaandi looks from afar.

==Production==
Screenwriter M. Rathnakumar first approached [[S. Thanu]] to produce this film. Thanu liked the script, worked on it with him, and then asked him to narrate it to [[Bharathiraja]], saying he is the appropriate person to direct the film. The project became a reality after he came on board. The film was made on first copy basis by Bharathiraja for the producer at a cost of {{INR}}80 lakhs. Originally, [[Rajkiran]] was considered for the lead role. However, when his salary expectation was too high, [[Vijayakumar (Tamil actor)|Vijayakumar]] was finally selected for the role. [[Vadivelu]] was paid a small amount for the film. However, after acting in the film in the character of Occhu, he stated that this film's success would establish his career, which it did. Thanu advertised the film using only Bharathiraja, [[A. R. Rahman]], and [[Vairamuthu]] in the wall posters on the launch date as they were more popular than the artistes. For the first time, computerised digital designing method was used to print posters and publicity materials.{{Sfn|Dhananjayan|2011|pp=155–157}} [[Raadhika]] was initially reluctant to accept playing the female lead since she had just given birth, but when Bharathiraja persuaded her, she relented.<ref>{{Cite news |date=15 February 2016 |title=The Accidental Actress: Inside the life of TV queen Radikaa Sarathkumar |language=en |work=[[The News Minute]] |url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/accidental-actress-inside-life-tv-queen-radikaa-sarathkumar-38996 |access-date=7 January 2021}}</ref> Poet [[Arivumathi]] worked as an assistant with this film.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Saravanan |first=T. |date=9 October 2014 |title=Man of his word |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/poet-and-lyricist-arivumathi-talks-about-his-struggles-to-stay-afloat-in-the-mad-rush-to-name-and-fame/article6485201.ece |access-date=5 August 2020}}</ref>

The soundtrack was composed by [[A. R. Rahman]] and lyrics written by [[Vairamuthu]]. ''Kizhakku Cheemayile'' was the first film that introduced the combo of Bharathiraja and Rahman. All songs were based on Tamil folk, unlike the previous works by Rahman which were based in [[classical music]] from [[Western culture]]. The audio of ''Kizhakku Cheemayile'' and ''[[Uzhavan]]'', both by Rahman was released on the same day. Rahman composed soundtracks for this movie featuring 6 songs. "Kathaazha Kaattu Vazhi" won [[P. Jayachandran|Jayachandran]], a [[Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Male Playback]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 October 2003 |title=Jayachandran, The Magic Is Back! |url=http://www.lokvani.com/lokvani/article.php?article_id=1236 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117185832/http://www.lokvani.com/lokvani/article.php?article_id=1236 |archive-date=17 November 2007 |access-date=12 December 2013 |website=Lokvani.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Ajith Kumar |first=P.K. |date=20 June 2008 |title=Melodic journey |work=[[The Hindu]] |url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/Melodic-journey/article15398989.ece |access-date=7 January 2021}}</ref>
