Veyil (English: Sunshine or Sun Blaze) is a 2006 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by Vasanthabalan. Bharath and Pasupathy are the male leads whereas Bhavana, Priyanka and Sriya Reddy plays the female leads. Upon release, the movie met with highly positive reviews and was commercially successful. The film was remade in Bengali Bangladesh as Antor Jala starring Zayed Khan and Pori Moni. The first third of Veyil is very loosely based upon the 1988 Italian classic Cinema Paradiso.
