Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (transl. The Association of Carefree Youths), also known by the initialism VVS, is a 2013 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by Ponram. Produced by P. Madan under Escape Artists Motion Pictures, it stars Sivakarthikeyan, Soori and Sri Divya (in her Tamil debut), with Sathyaraj in a prominent role. In the film, a young man falls in love with the daughter of the village head, who opposes love marriages.
Varuthapadatha Valibar Singam marked Ponram's return to direction after Thirutham (2007). Filming, which took place in Theni, Tiruchirappalli and Chennai, was completed by July 2013. The music was composed by D. Imman, with cinematography handled by Balasubramaniem and editing done by Vivek Harshan. M. Rajesh, whom Ponram had assisted him, wrote the dialogues for the film.
Varuthapadatha Valibar Singam was released on 6 September 2013, coinciding with the Ganesh Chathurthi weekend and became a major commercial success, positioning Sivakarthikeyan as a star in Tamil cinema. The film received praise for the on-screen chemistry between Sivakarthikeyan and Soori, and Soori's dialogues became popular. It was remade in Kannada as Adyaksha and in Telugu as Current Theega, both released in 2014.
