About the film

Kaakha Kaakha (Tamil: காக்க காக்க, Kākka Kākka ; English: To Protect) is a 2003 Tamil crime thriller film starring Surya, Jyothika and Jeevan in the lead roles. The film was written and directed by Gautham Menon and the music was composed by Harris Jayaraj. It was Gautam Menon's second Tamil movie after Minnale and was the most top-ranked Tamil movie of 2003 for return-on-investment, based on collection figures from theatres, distributors and producers. It was considered a comeback film for producer Kalaipuli S. Dhanu. Kaakha Kaakha was a major milestone in Surya's acting career, establishing him as a lead actor and carving a niche for him in the Tamil film industry.

Gautham remade the film in Telugu as Gharshana (2004) with Venkatesh and Asin in main roles. In 2011, further remakes of the film were released in Kannada as Dandam Dashagunam with Chiranjeevi Sarja and Ramya and in Hindi as Force (2011) with John Abraham and Genelia D'Souza.
