Sakthivel: Theeyaai Oru Theeraa Kaadhal

Sakthivel: Theeyaai Oru Theeraa Kaadhal is an Indian Tamil language television series, starring Pravin Adithya and Anjali Baskar in the lead. It is a reboot version of 2015 series Puthu Kavithai, which previously aired on the channel. The story is based around Velan, a rowdy who falls in love with Sakthi, who's determined to fight for her rights at any cost. It currently airs on Star Vijay from 4 December 2023, on Monday to Saturday and streams on Disney+ Hotstar.

Plot
The narrative unfolds with Velan, a rogue operating under his father's helm, and Sakthi, a woman staunchly upholding her principles in society. When a confrontation with Prakash, one of Velan's subordinates, at a waterpark leads to Prakash and his gang's arrest, Sakthi's actions draw the attention of Velan's influential father, Sivapathi. Prakash, released under Sivapathi's influence, informs Velan about Sakthi's role in his arrest.

Upon learning of Sakthi's involvement, Velan, feeling embarrassed, rebukes Prakash and orders him to gather more information about Sakthi. However, when Velan personally encounters Sakthi, he is not only furious but also unexpectedly captivated by her. Determined to make her his future wife, Velan warns his gang to stay away from Sakthi at any cost.

Despite Velan's intentions, Sakthi harbors a strong disliking for him after witnessing his aggressive eviction of a broker's family. Velan, undeterred, attempts to woo Sakthi by sending anonymous love letters and showering her with gifts. Their first in-person meeting takes an unfortunate turn when the broker's wife curses Velan for their eviction, intensifying Sakthi's disgust.

The story then follows the tumultuous journey of Velan and Sakthi as they navigate through obstacles, eventually leading to their marriage and the development of a deep, yet challenging, love.
