Jodi (transl. Couple) is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy drama film written and directed by Praveenkanth and produced by Sunanda Murali Manohar. The film stars Prashanth and Simran. Vijayakumar, Nassar and Srividya play supporting roles. The soundtrack is composed by A. R. Rahman, featuring music reused from his own earlier soundtrack for the Hindi film Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, except for the song Oru Poiyavathu. Due to Rahman's unavailability, Praveen signed Sabesh–Murali to quickly compose the background score.

Praveenkanth, reverted to his original name, after being known as Praveen Gandhi in his debut film Ratchagan (1997).

Aishwarya Rai was offered the female lead role after the success of her previous Tamil film, Jeans, but her busy schedule in Hindi films and her decision to prioritise her work in Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000), resulted in Simran eventually being ca…

The film shared a similar storyline to the Suriya and Jyothika starrer Poovellam Kettuppar, released earlier in the same year, which incidentally had Vijayakumar and Nassar playing similar roles of leader of feuding families. The song "Velli Malare" shot at Lalitha Mahal, Mysore.
