Music by Deva was one of the highlights of the Tamil superhit ‘Kushi’, starring Vijay and Jyotika.

Back in the summer of 2000, during the turn of the century, Tamil cinema produced two superb romances: Alaipayuthe and Kushi .

Kushi , starring Vijay and Jyotika in lead roles, was directed by SJ Surya.

Apart from the romance and comedy that audiences laud even today, the music - by composer Deva, who passed away on Saturday (October 17, 2026) - was one of its biggest highlights.
