'''''Kathirukka Neramillai''''' ({{translation|No time to wait}}) is a 1993 Indian [[Tamil language]] film, directed by Kulothungan, starring [[Karthik (actor)|Karthik]], [[Sivaranjani]] and [[Khushbu]]. The film had a musical score by [[Ilaiyaraaja]] and was released in December 1993.

== Plot ==

Raju ([[Karthik (actor)|Karthik]]) and his sidekicks ([[Chinni Jayanth]], [[Vadivelu]], [[Thyagu (actor)|Thyagu]]) stole [[black money]] to help an orphanage. [[Deputy inspector general of police|D.I.G.]] Mohanraj ([[Rajesh (actor)|Rajesh]]) knew that they are thieves, but he was unable to send them in jail. Raju and Radhika ([[Sivaranjani (actress)|Sivaranjani]]), Mohanraj's daughter, fell in love. Her father refuses to accept it, so he arranged a marriage with Ajith ([[Uday Prakash (actor)|Uday Prakash]]), a police officer. Raju became drunk and killed Ajith. When Mohanraj came back to his car, he found Raju drunk at the backseat. Raju's lookalike said his flashback. His name was Somasekhar, and he fell in love with Bhavani ([[Khushbu]]) and married her. She worked at Chatterjee's ([[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]]) ganja estate. Chatterjee wanted Somasekhar's estate, but the latter did not want to sell it to a criminal. Chatterjee's henchmen killed Bhavani, who gave birth to a girl. Somasekhar, wounded, could not do anything. A few years later, Ajith kidnapped his daughter. Somasekhar, after telling the flashback, reveals to Raju that he still will kill two people as Raju. Somasekhar went to his daughter's nanny's home, who also worked for Chatterjee, as she and Raju asked him to be Somasekhar for some days. Raju's lover and friends came to see him, but Somasekhar advised them to go to a place, so they went there, and Somasekhar's friend kidnapped them like Raju. Finally, they managed to escape. Somasekhar found where his child was kidnapped. Chatterjee caught Raju and Somasekhar. Somasekhar revealed that he gave his property and his daughter to Raju. Somasekhar killed Chatterjee and died.
