The film was highly panned by critics for its poor story and screenplay. The film failed to perform well at the box office. It is loosely based on the British film ''[[Ask a Policeman]]'' (1939) and the Swedish film ''[[Kopps]]'' (2003).<ref name="HinduReview">{{Cite news |last=Srinivasan |first=Sudhir |date=24 July 2015 |title=Naalu Policeum Nalla Irundha Oorum: Small joys |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/naalu-policeum-nalla-irundha-oorum-small-joys/article7461001.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230223120626/https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/naalu-policeum-nalla-irundha-oorum-small-joys/article7461001.ece |archive-date=23 February 2023 |access-date=26 February 2018 |work=[[The Hindu]] |language=en}}</ref>

== Plot ==
The film starts with an outsider coming to a village to provide invitations to the people there. There is a police station with one sub-inspector Chelladurai and three constables. The village wins an award from the president for being a model village. People are very honest and hardworking, and there are no problems in the village. The policemen lead a very peaceful life because of the villagers. They work from 9 to 5 and are closed on Sundays. The police station is used for playing board games and watching TV along with the villagers. Constable Shanmugapandian is a daydreamer and has a liking to a schoolteacher named Subha. However, he is unable to propose to her. Since the village is clean without any crimes, the higher officials plan to transfer them to another village known for riots. Saddened by this, the four policemen create trouble for the villagers. Padhinettam Pandiyan and Chelladurai ask for a favor from a thief to steal things so they can file a case, but all their attempts fail. How their actions cause change among the villagers and their lives is the rest of the film.
