An enjoyable romance barring a rather ridiculous climax.
The movie starts with Vijay revealing, on a train journey from
Pune to Chennai, that he just got out of jail after seven years.
His past is revealed in a flash back.
He had been a singer, waiting for the big break. Simran hears his voice, though she doesn't
see him and becomes his fan. When Vijay realises this, he tries to reveal who he is but circumstances
place him and Simran in situations where she ends up thinking that
he is a rowdy. Vijay ultimately becomes
responsible for her losing her eyesight too.
He devotes himself to her from then onwards attending to her every need. She learns to respect and
love him too, thinking that he is the singer and not knowing that he is the same person she thought
was a rowdy.
Vijay had been telling his mother everything by letter and when she dies, she donates her eyes to
Simran. To come up with the money needed for the operation, Vijay donates his kidney and has to
travel to Pune for the same. Ready to get back, he is arrested
after mistakenly agreeing to look after the luggage (which turns out to
contain ammunition) of another man.
Back in the present, everything has changed at the place he used
to live. Having nowhere to go, he catches a glimpse of Simran, now
the collector. He goes to meet her, leading to the climax.
Vijay, who seems to be improving with every movie, really props up
the movie. Apart from romancing Simran, he also takes part in
two dances and a robust fight sequence. His acting is upto the mark too. Simran looks
pretty and performs adequately. Manivannan's comedy is not really funny and Dhamu, as Vijay's
friend, provides most of the laughter. S.A.Rajkumar follows his pattern of repeating the same
song several times in the movie till it starts sounding good!! The director reveals his touch by
making Vijay's mom unseen but a strong presence, throughout the movie.
