Ganesh(Nandha) sees Jensi(Sherin) in Velankanni and its love at first sight for him. He sees her again back home in Chennai and after a few obstacles, they become good friends. But just when he is ready to express his love, Jensi reveals that she is soon to be engaged to Nicholas(Dinesh Lamba), a rich businessman settled in the UK. To no one's surprise, Nicholas turns out to be a near-psychotic, obsessive man and getting away from him is not so easy for Jensi.

As Dinesh reveals his psychotic tendencies, obsesses over Sherin and harasses and pursues her while she turns to Nandha for help, it is impossible to not remember Satham Podaathey (Urchaagam even recycles some scenes directly from Sleeping with the Enemy, which probably served as the inspiration for Satham Podaathey too). The same 3 characters are in play here also but they are not interesting or likeable enough for us to develop a rooting interest in them. Nandha's character is particularly poorly fleshed out and so his whole act of hiding his love for the sake of friendship doesn't make a big impression.

From the point where Dinesh realizes that he has lost Sherin and tries to get her back, the movie begins a downward spiral from which it never recovers. Gaping holes in logic mark almost every single scene and every narrative turn raises a large number of questions that the movie never makes an attempt to answer. A character is murdered in a popular, busy hospital with no one witnessing it or even suspecting anything and a cemetery is made to resemble a crowded marketplace with people walking around aimlessly, just for the sake of some weak action. Compared to this, Satham Podaathey's second half was a masterpiece of plotting and suspense!

Nandha goes the strong and silent route here, limiting himself to clipped sentences and short threats. He hasn't really developed an image for himself yet and so this change doesn't make a big difference. But he seems more comfortable with the fight sequences than he did in Agaram and so the action hero role can't be completely ruled out for him yet. Sherin looks good here with the new curls and the slightly slimmed down body. But nothing has changed as far as her acting goes and the emotional scenes bring out her limitations. Glamor has been her selling point since her debut in Thulluvadho Ilamai but she is covered up for the most part here and her fans have to wait for the last duet to see her glamorous side. Dinesh Lamba has a face suited for the villain's role and manages to earn our disgust with his actions. Ranjit Barot's songs are quite catchy but the picturization doesn't do them justice. Though not upto the level of the VIP soundtrack, the songs do make us wonder why the music director didn't compose songs for any other movie after that.
