'''''Anbe Aaruyire''''' ({{Lang-en|Darling}}) is a 2005 Indian [[Tamil language]] [[romantic drama film]] directed by [[S. J. Surya]]. The film stars him, debutant [[Meera Chopra|Nila]], [[Urvashi (actress)|Urvasi]], [[Santhana Bharathi]] and [[Santhanam (actor)|Santhanam]]. The score and soundtrack are composed by [[A. R. Rahman]]. The movie was met with controversy even before release due to its original name of "B.F.," which according to the director stood for "best friend" but is also a common acronym for "[[Amateur pornography|blue film]]" in India. A contest was subsequently held in which members of the public were invited to suggest names.

==Plot==
Siva ([[S. J. Surya]]) is an investigative [[scribe]] who shares a [[live-in relationship]] with rich and bratty Madhu ([[Meera Chopra|Nila]]). They have hot-headed run-ins and even hotter patch-ups. Things come to a head when Madhu starts a [[restaurant]] with a brother of her friend. Nosy and envious Siva cannot take it, and this causes a split between the duo. Fun starts as the fantasy element appears in the form of their ''apparitional'' [[alter ego]]s. Eventually they come together, but there is plenty of over-the-top entertainment aimed at a post-teen youth audience. ''Anbe Aaruyire'' features the memories of each other in a human lookalike appearances. These memories remind them of their good times and the inner love for each other, which help in their reunion.

==Release==
Like ''New'', the film faced hurdles prior to release with the censor boards insisting on several cuts and Surya's ongoing legal tussles meant the film was delayed. The film opened to mixed reviews in September 2005, with Sify.com labelling it as "adult entertainment" though added he "tries hard to bring his character Shiva to life but has to go miles as far as dialogue delivery and voice modulation goes but has improved leaps and bound on the dancing front".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131204024316/http://www.sify.com/movies/ah-aah-bf-review-tamil-13937866.html Sify Movies – Review listing]. Sify.com. Retrieved on 5 May 2017.</ref> The film became his fourth consecutive commercial success in Tamil films, with Surya adamant on thanking his crew for helping get through the controversies, labelling that "team effort" helped them overcome the problems.<ref name="aa"/>
