Jeans (1998)

Nachiappan, a widower who runs a restaurant in Los Angeles, has raised twin sons and is determined they will marry identical twins so there is no rivalry in the house. Then Vishwa falls for Madhumitha, a young woman from Chennai who is in America with her grandmother for treatment. To win over his father, Madhumitha's family pretends she has a twin sister, Vaishnavi, and the deception spirals. Shankar's Tamil romantic comedy was one of the most expensive Indian films of its time and was India's official entry for the Academy Awards. A. R. Rahman's soundtrack is a classic, and the song "Poovukkul Olinthirukkum" was famously shot at each of the Seven Wonders of the World. It marked one of Aishwarya Rai's early Tamil roles.
