Nilaave Vaa (transl. Oh moon, come to me) is a 1998 Indian

Suvalakshmi, while Sanghavi, Raghuvaran and Manivannan play other supporting roles. The film released on 14 August 1998 and was a decent hit at the box office.[1][2][3]

Plot

Siluvai is the son of Cruz. They are Tamil Christians living in a fishing village in

Kanyakumari District
. In another town, Perumaal is the father to Sangeetha and Gauri. Sangeetha comes to the small fishing village. Siva is proposed (and later engaged) to marry her. However, Gauri falls in love with Siva's friend, and after hearing that Perumal does not want to accept the Hindu-Christian marriage, she decides to elope with her lover. This leads to the break-up of Sangeetha and Siluvai's love affair. However, Siva, upon hearing Siluvai's story, gives a great speech to the villagers and unites Siluvai and Sangeetha.

Reception

Ananda Vikatan gave the film a score of 37 out of 100.[7] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "A love story cut out to suit the energetic talent of Vijai, with the expected twists and turns, has been made worthwhile by the situations fashioned by director Venkatesan in V. J. Films' Nilaave Vaa". He also appreciated the cinematography.[8] Two years after release, the producers were given a ₹5 lakh (equivalent to ₹21 lakh or US$26,000 in 2023) subsidy by the Tamil Nadu government along with several other films.[9]
