Love Birds is a 1996 Indian Tamil-language romance film directed by P. Vasu. The film features Prabhu Deva and Nagma in the lead roles with Raja, Vadivelu and Sarath Babu playing other pivotal roles. The film's score and soundtrack composed by A. R. Rahman was highly successful. Love Birds opened in January 1996 and had an average performance commercially. The storyline of the movie is thematically similar to that of the 1986 Kannada movie Ratha Sapthami for which P. Vasu was co-screen play writer.

Prabhu Deva was signed to work on the film after working in Shankar's 1994 blockbuster Kaadhalan, and his pair from that film, Nagma, was also roped in again. British Indian musician Apache Indian was also roped in to sing and dance for a music video in the film.

The film was predominantly shot across London, with scenes also canned at Buckingham Palace and at a Hilton Hotel. The producers had earlier location scouted in the city and took music director, A. R. Rahman along to get a feel of the city.

The film opened in January 1996. The film opened days earlier in Malaysia than India and was shown across 27 theaters in the country, a figure only usually exceeded for Tamil films starring Rajinikanth, and this mirrors the large release the film received. Vijayan of The New Straits Times gave a positive review saying, "This movie seems made for courting couples, especially those who are facing problems with disapproving parents" and added that "strong dialogue makes the film rise slight above the ordinary".

Love Birds however became an average grosser at the box office but was a little better than Prabhudeva's next, Mr. Romeo. The actor thus had to go through a slump in his film career. The film was later dubbed and released in Telugu and Hindi under the same title.

The soundtrack features 5 songs composed by A. R. Rahman, his only collaboration with P. Vasu till date with lyrics by Vairamuthu for the original Tamil version, by Sirivennela Sitaramasastri for the Telugu version and by P. K. Mishra and Mehboob for the Hindi version. The album was widely appreciated by critics. The highlight of the album was the disco song No Problem.

All lyrics written by Vairamuthu; all music composed by A. R. Rahman.
