Bhoopathy(Vijay), an irresponsible lad, has been packed off by his father(Manivannan) to his friend Vishwanathan's(Nasser) house. The goal is for Vishwanathan to find Bhoopathy a job so that he learns some responsibility. Bhoopathy lands up on the day of the engagement of Priya(Sneha), Vishwanathan's daughter and finds himself staying in the outhouse. Bhoopathy and Priya are at each other's throats right from the word go but Priya finds herself falling for him. But when she reveals her feelings, Bhoopathy backs off since he doesn't want to harm the friendship existing between his and Priya's fathers.

The movie starts off strongly with some effective comedy. Vijay plays one of his most casual, light-hearted characters to date and many of his antics(ike his show-off while working out) are very amusing. Sneha proves to be a good foil to him and the quarrels and fights between the two are enjoyable. Fortunately, Vadivelu is teamed with Vijay instead of having his own comedy track. So he too adds to the fun, being ragged by Vijay after initially trying to boss over him. Sneha's gradual change in attitude towards him is also very well portrayed. With his playful character and the constant, light-hearted fights between them, her change of heart is both believable and cute.

The movie concentrates only on Vijay and Sneha and the losers in the process are the supporting characters. There are several superfluous characters who add no value to the story. Gayatri Jayaram is a case in point. She is introduced solely to fall in love with Vijay while he gets a chance to boost his image by being oblivious to her attention. Suhasini is brought on with a strong story but doesn't play a big part in the proceedings. Even Sneha's fiancee, ostensibly the third point of the triangle, has no part to play, being packed off to America soon after the engagement. He shows up towards the end, but only to go along with his father in some amateurishly villainous acts.

The movie stumbles in the second half with some obvious confusion about how exactly to shape Vijay's character. The reason for his coming back after leaving the house is weak and worse, his behavior towards Sneha after that seems unacceptable in several places. While he asks her to stay away and professes respect for their parents' friendship, his actions in many places(like getting her the flower she wants) make it seem like he is leading her on. Some unnecessary and predictable masala is brought in towards the end but thankfully, the situation is resolved without a fight.

After a line of movies where he attempted to be larger than life, Vijay makes a welcome change to play the playful character here. There are no repeated one-liners or gestures in slow-motion and most surprisingly, no fights. As he proved in the first half of Bhagavathy , he does comedy quite well and continues the same here. Sneha proves her mettle even in this predominantly lighthearted role. Her little fights are believable and her expressive face conveys a lot of emotions. Nasser and Manivannan do their roles capably while Vadivelu raises many laughs. S.A.Rajkumar's tunes don't drive us away but none of them are particularly memorable either.
