Gilli, starring Vijay and Trisha Krishnan, is the biggest Tamil commercial hit of 2004. Even Vidyasagar's music is a craze across Tamil Nadu.

The song Appadi podu had but one precedent in the history of Tamil films -- Oh podu in Gemini by the same music director.

Vijay's acting, dancing and fighting talents were well exploited. If the movie will be remembered, it will be for the amount of money it made.
