Movie Alaipayuthey (2000) is a Tamil film directed by Mani Ratnam. Starring R. Madhavan and Shalini, the film explores the tensions of married life and the maturing of love.

The film's score and soundtrack are composed by acclaimed film composer A. R. Rahman. Alaipayuthey's story is mostly recollected in flashback by the character Karthik. Karthik and Shakthi fall in love against the backdrop of Madras and its suburban trains, against the wishes of their parents.

Most of the second half of the film deals with the tensions and discontent of married life as contrasted with the exuberance of romantic love.
