Bama(Sukanya), who is scared that her greedy father would marry her off to anyone who provides the right amount of money, decides to find herself a mate on her own. She spots Gopalakrishnan(S.V.Sekhar) and successfully woos him. Gopalarishnan has a domineering mother and frequent fights erupt between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law after he marries Bama and takes her home. But some contrived situations make Bama believe that Krishnan has several bad habits and after four strikes, she asks for divorce, much to Krishnan's mother's delight.

S.V.Sekhar's script and dialog delivery are what have made his dramas popular and the same is true of the big screen. Just not for as long as the movie lasts. The first few reels pass quickly and Sekhar is successful in making us laugh quite a bit with his numerous cracks, one-liners and 'kadi' jokes. But the routine soon starts to get tiring. Contrived situations brought about just to insert one more joke are not as much fun on the big screen and the lack of a strong story places a movie on a much shakier foundation than a drama.

Sekhar struggles to shake off of his strong stage mentality and consequently there's not much difference between seeing this movie and say, the telecast of the drama that was the inspiration for this movie, on television. Most scenes happen indoors and the transition from one scene to the next is abrupt (I almost expected the curtain to come down after each scene!). The song sequences are thrust in solely to make us remember that we are watching a movie but they are difficult to endure.

Sekhar is in his element, cracking jokes on every topic from politics to problems in soicety. Sukanya is a pale shadow of the actress who was once one of the leading actresses in Tamil cinema. She shows good comic timing with some of her dialogs. Chinni Jayanth steals the few scenes he is in with his usual imitation of some popular stars. Sriman is on hand to close out one of the tracks while Vichitra has a meatier role than her usual one-song appearance.
