==Plot==<br />
The movie begins in college, with the district collector awarding Srinivas alias Cheenu and asking him to share his success story with everybody. Cheenu is an honest and studious village guy who hails from a poor farmer's family. Despite his friends' attempts to sway him towards the lusty distractions of adolescence, he stands his ground and tries to persuade them to follow his path. Lakshmi is the second daughter of a Zamindar also from the same village who studies at the same college as Cheenu. Despite their hatred for each other at the beginning, they end up falling for each other after a lot of melodrama. Lakshmi's brother-in-law (her elder sister's husband) lusts for her and tries to inherit their fortune by marrying both the Zamindar's daughters. He tries to beat Cheenu to death when everybody finds about their love affair. In an attempt to escape Prithviraj, the couple seeks protection from the district collector, who assures them that she would help them marry each other after they finish their education. The movie ends with a tedious action episode between Cheenu and Prithviraj and the title rolls.<br />

==Reception==<br />
Reviewing Tamil version, ''Chennai Online'' wrote "The message for the younger generation is to have a focus in life and work towards it. The idea has been fairly neatly weaved in. But the situations are oft-told ones, and are narrated in a manner that was done a decade or more ago".<ref name=co /> ''Bizhat'' wrote "Raja Rajah has been a tad afraid to experiment. He has kept himself to well-stated positions and has tried to operate from within that. He has done justice to what he has attempted. But he has not done anything novel.".<ref name=bh /> Lajjavathi of ''Kalki'' felt the film would have been a good lesson for the youth if the screenplay had been made stronger.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=Kalki|language=ta|access-date=6 April 2024|url=https://archive.org/details/kalki2006-10-22/page/n43/mode/2up|date=22 October 2006|page=42|title=இளவட்டம்|last=லஜ்ஜாவதி }}</ref> ''Cinesouth'' wrote "Having gone overboard in his story and screenplay, director AR Rajaraja might as well as titled 'Ilavattam' as 'Kaattam'".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ilavattam.shtml|title=Ilavattam|website=Cinesouth|access-date=22 July 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061115073226/http://www.cinesouth.com/scopes/reviews/new/ilavattam.shtml|archive-date=15 November 2006}}</ref><br />
