Boys is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age musical film directed by Shankar. It stars Siddharth, Bharath, S. Thaman (credited as Sai), Manikandan, Nakkhul and Genelia (credited as Harini), in her debut. The score and soundtrack are composed by A. R. Rahman. The story revolves around six youngsters, who experience the downfalls of adolescent life. The film was released on 29 August 2003. The film landed in controvery for its bold scenes and depiction of scenes in a song. The Tamil Nadu women's organisation held protests against the film and the film flopped during its initial run. However, in years, the film became a cult classic and is widely considered one of the best coming-of-age movies made. The film depicts the fashion, music and lifestyle favoured by the youth in the early 2000s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
