==Plot==<br />
Masanam ([[Prakash Raj]]), a local thug and criminal who kills people, slowly rises up the ranks to be a minister. Shakthivel ([[Nithin Sathya]]) is a die-hard fan of an actor [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]] and studies in college. He falls in love with Masanam's sister Thulasi ([[Sindhu Tolani]]) and challenges him (he has a reason for that), and a cat-and-mouse game ensues. What follows is a series of incidents between the two that leads to a melodramatic climax.<ref>[http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/preview/10430.html About the film]</ref><br />

==Critical reception==<br />
''Behindwoods'' wrote, "There is no singular theme or accent in Pandhayam and the film abounds in illogical narrations."<ref>http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/pandhayam-review.html</ref> ''Rediff'' wrote "Watch Pandhayam if you've challenged your friends about sitting through a ridiculous movie. Even then, you might end up losing."<ref>http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/19ssp.htm</ref><br />
