More about Minnale
Minnale is a romantic drama film that was originally released on February 2, 2001. The story follows a young man who steals the identity of his former college rival to pursue the woman he loves, and the repercussions he faces when his deception is exposed before he can come clean.
Co-written by Menon and Vipul D. Shah, the film was initially slated for a Valentine’s Day 2001 release but was preponed to avoid a clash with Piriyatha Varam Vendum, starring Prashanth and Shalini Ajith Kumar.
The film was a massive success at the box office and was remade in Hindi as Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, which was shot simultaneously and released in the same year, with Maddy reprising his role. It was later remade in Kannada as Mr. Duplicate, starring Diganth in the lead role.
Apart from Madhavan, the film featured Abbas, Reema Sen, Nagesh, Vivek, Kitty, Fathima Babu, Rajiv Choudhry, and others in key roles. The film’s music and background score were composed by Harris Jayaraj, which remains a pop-culture phenomenon to this day.
