Plot[edit | edit source]
Kumaresan (Sathyaraj) is a rich landlord in a village who spends his wealth for the welfare of his village. As Kumaresan's parents passed away when he was young, he has no one to care for except his sidekicks (Vadivelu, Manivannan and Halwa Vasu). Govindan (Ilavarasu) also hails from the same village who has enmity with Kumaresan and keeps interrupting often whenever Kumaresan wants to find a bride. Nandini (Prathuysha) comes from a poor family whose father (GR) is a drunkard. Nandini is good in academics and gets admission into a medical college but has no money for her education. Kumaresan has a soft corner for Nandini and comes for rescue by taking responsibility for her education expenses. Slowly, Kumaresan falls in love with Nandini, but does not disclose it to her. However, Nandini views Kumaresan as her well-wisher. Kumaresan also builds a small hospital in his village and Nandini gets employed there. Nandini's father plans for her to marry Govindan's son. This infuriates Kumaresan, who announces his love for Nandini which shocks her. Nandini replies that she never had any such feelings towards Kumaresan as she always has a huge respect for him but not love. This worries Kumaresan and understands that it was his mistake to take Nandini for granted.

Production[edit | edit source]
The film progressed with shoots in Pollachi taking place in 2001, with producer GR choosing to also essay a role in the film.[3] Prathyusha committed suicide in February 2002 and the film was subsequently delayed. The film remained unsold and unable to gain a distributor for an extended period after time after the venture had been completed.[4] During the delay, Aarthikumar had completed another film Azhagesan again with Sathyaraj.
Soundtrack[edit | edit source]
| No. | Song | Singers | Lyrics | Length (m:ss) |

Release[edit | edit source]
The film eventually had a low key release in August 2004, releasing three weeks after another Sathyaraj starrer Sema Ragalai. The film won mixed reviews with a critic noting "With its measly story and laughable characterization, it is likely to be forgotten even faster than his other movies."[5] A critic from The Hindu noted it was "typical fare" and that "it evokes only a lukewarm response because both the hero's characterisation and the storyline are vague throughout."[6]
