'''''Kaalamellam Kadhal Vaazhga''''' ({{Translation|Long live love}}) is a [[Tamil films of 1997|1997]] Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[romantic drama film]] directed by [[R. Balu]] in his debut and produced by Sivasakthi Pandian. The film featured [[Murali (Tamil actor)|Murali]] alongside [[Kausalya (actress)|Kausalya]], in her Tamil debut role, while [[Gemini Ganesan]], [[Manivannan]], [[Charle]], [[Vivek (actor)|Vivek]], and *[[Karan (actor)|Karan]] play supporting roles. This film completed 200 days at the box office and was a 'blockbuster hit'. The film was remade in Kannada as ''Kushalave Kshemave'' with [[Ramesh Aravind]] and Srilakshmi.

== Plot ==
Jeeva ([[Murali (Tamil actor)|Murali]]) is the college boy and singer (with bundles of commitments belonging to the lower middle class) who enchants the rich college girl Kausalya ([[Kausalya (actress)|Kausalya]]) (new face - with girl next door looks) with his musical skills. Kausalya, the music buff who is in the habit of appreciating good singers over the phone, does it with Jeeva also. The telephonic voice of Kausalya turns out to have a tremendously magical romantic effect upon the hero, who besides falling in love head over heels with her, wants to see her.

==Production==
Following the release of director [[Agathiyan]]'s ''[[Kadhal Kottai]]'' (1996), aspiring director Balu claimed that Agathiyan had stolen the story of the film from his half-complete venture ''Un Ninaivaaga''. To appease Balu, producer Sivasakthi Pandian offered him the chance to make a film for his production studio.<ref name="indolink">{{cite web|url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-3.htm|title=A-Z (III)|publisher=indolink.com|accessdate=2015-09-27|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927193802/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/Specials/97/Oct/a-z/atoz-3.htm|archivedate=27 September 2013|df=dmy-all}}</ref> The film was named after a song from ''Kadhal Kottai''.
