Aayitha Ezhuthu (, ) is a 2004 Indian Tamil political film written and directed by Mani Ratnam. It stars Suriya, Madhavan and Siddharth in the lead roles, with Trisha Krishnan, Meera Jasmine, and Esha Deol as the female leads and Bharathiraja in a pivotal role. The film's score and soundtrack were composed by A. R. Rahman, while Ravi K. Chandran was cinematographer and Sreekar Prasad was editor. The title of the movie was taken from the name of a Tamil letter, ஃ - three dots corresponding to the film's three different personalities from completely different strata of society. The film was simultaneously shot in Hindi as Yuva with an entirely different cast barring Deol, while a dubbed version in Telugu was also released. Produced by Ratnam's home banner of Madras Talkies, Aaytha Ezhuthu released in May 2004 to mostly positive reviews but didn't do well at the box office.
