The movie released on 13 January 2013 to positive reviews and became a blockbuster and pongal winner of 2013 at the box office. The movie is based on ''[[Indru Poi Naalai Vaa]]'' by [[K. Bhagyaraj]].

== Plot ==
Shiva, Kaalkattu Kaliyaperumal (KK), and Power Kumar (Power) are three friends with no occupation other than getting drunk and chasing girls. A girl named Sowmiya moves in with her family to the house opposite Shiva. The three friends fall for the girl's beauty and make a gentlemen's agreement to let the girl choose her boyfriend. The three attempt different methods to woo her. Shiva helps Sowmiya's aunt in household work; KK joins Sowmiya's uncle to learn singing; Power joins Sowmiya's father to learn [[Bharatanatyam]].

One day, when none of Sowmiya's family members are home, the three eventually profess their love, leaving Sowmiya confused. Following the advice of her neighbour, Sowmiya reveals to all three that she loves actor [[Silambarasan|Simbu]]. The neighborhood boys then decide to bring Simbu as a gift for Sowmiya's birthday, but Simbu says he does not know anyone named Sowmiya. They then hire a thug named "Kolaveri" David to kidnap Simbu, but he kidnaps Sowmiya instead when he learns he is supposed to kidnap Simbu. As Simbu refuses to help them, Shiva, KK and Power go and save Sowmiya from David, and she falls in love with Shiva, because Power and KK had earlier beaten Sowmiya's uncle and father severely; they later marry.

==Release==
Prior to its 13 January 2013 release, filmmaker [[K. Bhagyaraj]] filed a suit against the film stating that it used the same storyline as his 1981 film ''[[Indru Poi Naalai Vaa]]''. He also accused the makers of falsely claiming to have acquired the rights from his film. It was later announced that the film, upon orders of a high court, would acknowledge both Bhagyaraj and his ''Indru Poi Naalai Vaa'' story in the credits.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-01-12/news-interviews/36295944_1_kanna-laddu-thinna-aasaiya-klta-power-star-srinivasan |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130203050002/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-01-12/news-interviews/36295944_1_kanna-laddu-thinna-aasaiya-klta-power-star-srinivasan |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 February 2013 |title=KLTA ordered to carry Bhagyaraj in credits! |date=12 January 2013 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=16 January 2013}}</ref>
