==Plot==

Ganesan ([[Jithan Ramesh]]) is a happy-go-lucky youth in a village. A great admirer of actor-director [[T. Rajendar]], he spends time with his friends, such as [[Soori (actor)|Soori]] and a few others. This is ridiculed by his father ([[Jayaprakash]]). Ganesh's life takes a turn when he comes across Sandhya ([[Sanchita Padukone]]). She is a friend of his sister, who comes on a vacation to the village. He admires her beauty and falls for her. When Ganesh gathers guts to open his heart to Sandhya, enters Valli ([[Suhasini (Telugu actress)|Suhasini]]), Ganesh's uncle's ([[Ilavarasu]]) daughter. Fearing that her father will get her married to a local goon named Durai ([[Bose Venkat]]), she decides to marry Ganesh. Suddenly, Sandhya falls ill, and Ganesh takes her to the hospital. He is shocked when the doctor ([[Prakash Raj]]) informs that she has [[pancreatic cancer]] and will die in a few months. Ganesh, in a bid to keep her happy until her death, marries her and comes home. Unfortunately, he incurs his father's wrath and is driven out of the house. However, a sudden twist in the plot causes the movie to end on an emotional note.

==Critical reception==
''[[The Hindu]]'' wrote: "Pillaiyaar Theru Kadaisi Veedu only gives a sense of déjà vu. But the final sequences are suspenseful [sic] comes a twist to the tale. And the sudden shift to serious mode catches you unawares. Writer-director Thirumalai Kishore, a first-timer, scores with a story that's strong and narration that's reasonably intelligent."<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.hindu.com/cp/2011/06/26/stories/2011062650170200.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719201703/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2011/06/26/stories/2011062650170200.htm | url-status=dead | archive-date=19 July 2011 | location=Chennai, India | work=[[The Hindu]] | title=On a comeback trail - Pillaiyaar Theru Kadaisi Veedu | date=26 June 2011}}</ref> ''[[The New Indian Express]]'' wrote that "Thirumalai Kishore’s directorial debut has a clichéd storyline and loosely-scripted characters."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2011/jun/26/pillaiyar-theru-kadaisi-veedu-266384.html|access-date=2020-09-12|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> ''[[Sify]]'' wrote that "Why did Jithan Ramesh agree to do such a lifeless and tasteless film?".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/pillaiyar-theru-kadaisi-veedu-review-tamil-pclxXVabeheha.html|title=Pillaiyar Theru Kadaisi Veedu|website=Sify}}</ref>
