Gemini is a 2002 Indian Tamil-language action film written and directed by Saran and produced by AVM Productions. The film features Vikram in the title role of a small-time criminal and aspiring don who, after falling in love, decides to refrain from crime. Murali stars as Singaperumal, a police officer who inspires and guides Gemini in his attempts to reform. The cast includes Kalabhavan Mani as the main antagonist while Vinu Chakravarthy, Manorama and Thennavan portray significant roles. Based on gang wars in Chennai, the film delves into the lives of outlaws and the roles the police and society play in their rehabilitation and acceptance. It was released two days ahead of the Tamil New Year on 12 April 2002 and received mixed reviews, with praise for the performances of Vikram and Mani but criticism of Saran’s script. It won three Filmfare Awards, three ITFA Awards and four Cinema Express Awards. The soundtrack was well received, with the song \”O Podu\” becoming a sensation in Tamil Nadu. Later that same year, Saran remade the film in Telugu as Gemeni. It earned ₹210 million at the box office and became the highest-grossing Tamil film of the year. Its success, largely attributed to the popularity of the song, resurrected the Tamil film industry, which was experiencing difficulties after a series of box office failures. It has also been remade in Tamil and Telugu, as well as in Malayalam and Kannada, and has won numerous awards for its cinematography, editing, and editing.
