| ==Plot==
| |
| Prabhakaran alias Prabhu ([[Uday Kiran]]) is a college student who does not allow anyone to do wrong. He quite often argues with others to the point where he is repeatedly arrested. When he was younger his foster father, Nehru ([[Livingston (actor)|Livingston]]), a psychiatrist used to bail him out. In the meantime, Swetha ([[Diya (actress)|Diya]]), the sister of the commissioner of police Ravichandran, has been ditching her college classes, so her father has a police escort take her to school. When she tries to escape from her escort, they pursue her. They cross paths with the troublesome Prabhu, who battles them. In the ensuing fight, Prabhu says 'I love you' to Swetha and she is so impressed by his gallantry, she falls in love.
| |
| | |
| Prabhu then learns that his foster parents are taking him to meet his real father, Jeevanandham ([[Satyaraj]]), who had been receiving treatment in a mental hospital. He tries to speak with his father, but the man is unresponsive. On the advice of Swetha's father, he takes his father to Kerala for treatment. When there, he meets a former bodyguard of Jeevanandham who tells him that not only was his father the former Election Commissioner, but that his current mental breakdown state was caused by local politician Dharmalingam ([[Vijayan (actor)|Vijayan]]). Coincidentally, Dharmalingam has been brought to that same Kerala facility by his own son, Narayanan ([[Riyaz Khan]]). When Dharmalingam's son learns that his father's former enemy Jeevanandham is still alive, he attempts to kill him.

| ==Reception==

| The film opened to mixed reviews. ''Kollywood Today'' wrote that "If Director Raj Kapoor had concentrated bit on the part of screenplay and presented it in a gripping manner, then things would have been more greater for him. Vambu Sandai is a movie to watch if you need to spend your leisure time…".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kollywoodtoday.net/reviews/review-vambhu-sandai/|title=Review - Vambhu Sandai|date=22 March 2008}}</ref> ''BizHat'' wrote that "Director Rajkapoor looks still a novice and has to work hard to make his mark as a director. 'Vambu Sandai' is just passable fare".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_vambu_sandai.php|title=BizHat.com - Vambu Sandai Review.
