Another light entertainer from Sundar C, director of Ullathai Alli Thaa, Mettukudi,
Janakiraman, Naam Iruvar Namakku Iruvar and Arunachalam.
Ajith, studying in Australia, goes to New Zealand with a friend and runs into Malavika. They start
off having petty fights but end up falling in love. But circumstances force them to separate
without exchanging any information about each other.
Back home, Ajith makes friends with Karan and chances upon his family photograph which surprisingly
includes his mother (Srividya), who as far as he knew had no relations. But on questioning, his
mother reveals
that she was part of a large family (three brothers and a sister) but had been sent out of the family
after deciding to wed someone of her own choice.
Ajith travels to the village as Karan's friend and soon endears himself to the members of his
family. Turns out Malavika is the daughter of one of the brothers too. But when he learns that
Karan wishes to marry her, he decides to bow out. But Karan, on knowing about their romance,
wishes that they get together.
The family elders too agree to Ajith marrying Malavika but refuse to let the alliance go any further
after learning that Ajith is Srividya's son. Ajith too agrees to sacrifice his love since he does
not want to wed Malavika and cause even more friction in the already fractured family. This sets the
stage for a cinematic climax.
The director slips up rather badly in the initial romantic portions lifting scenes from Dilwale
Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Dil He Ki Manta Nahi and Vandanam(Malayalam). But he is
comfortable once the scene shifts to the village. Ajith does a good job but debutante Malavika is
found wanting in both the looks and acting departments. The huge supporting cast is adequate. Deva
lifts his background score from Annamalai and Arunachalam but comes up with a rather
good soundtrack.
