Chandru and Bigilu are close friends. Chandru is an expert auto driver and racer, while Bigilu is a mechanic expert at customising autos to run at the dream speed of 130&nbsp;km/h.

Bigilu, meanwhile, introduces Chandru to his sister, who runs a biriyani shop. Chandru is attracted to her daughter Rani and woos her. The affair grows stronger, and the couple have sex. However, Chandru, is not interested in long-term commitment and tells Rani so. Shocked, Rani curses at him and moves away.

== Reception ==
The movie received positive reviews. The Hindu wrote:"The strongest points of the movie are some excellent dialogues by Kumar Rajan—they’re genuinely funny and spontaneous, even when the characters are talking dirty— and the high-energy background score"and also praised the performances of lead actors "Arya is terrific as the cocky yet lovable Chandru (the combination of floppy hair, liquid brown eyes, dimpled chin and good physique should cement his ‘heartthrob’ status). Pooja looks lovely in minimal make-up and puts in a refreshingly natural performance. John Vijay is just an absolute riot as Son of Gun".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/cp/2007/12/07/stories/2007120750030200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071208132247/http://www.hindu.com/cp/2007/12/07/stories/2007120750030200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2007-12-08 |title=Cinema Plus / Film Review : An absolute riot |date=2007-12-07 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2013-08-02}}</ref> indiaglitz wrote:"The movie looks into the world of a section of Chennai auto rickshaw drivers as realistic as possible.

Oram Po (transl. Move Aside) is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language black comedy film starring Arya and Pooja, while Lal and John Vijay play supporting roles. The film, written and directed by the debutant husband-wife duo, Pushkar–Gayatri, was produced by V. Palanivel and A. C. Anandan for A.P. Film Garden. G. V. Prakash Kumar was the music director, Nirav Shah was the cinematographer, and Anthony handled the editing. The film, revolving around auto rickshaw racing, was released after almost a year of production on 30 November 2007.[1]

Plot[edit | edit source]

Chandru and Bigilu are close friends. Chandru is an expert auto driver and racer, while Bigilu is a mechanic expert at customising autos to run at the dream speed of 130 km/h. Pichchai aka Son of Gun is the chief of a rival group who wants to outsmart the duo. Chandru, the race champ, tries to settle the dues for his auto through a race, which is almost a cake walk for him. He and Bigilu challenge Son of Gun to a race, and a date is fixed. Bigilu, meanwhile, introduces Chandru to his sister, who runs a biriyani shop. Chandru is attracted to her daughter Rani and woos her. The affair grows stronger, and the couple have sex. However, Chandru, is not interested in long-term commitment and tells Rani so. Shocked, Rani curses at him and moves away. On the D-day, Chandru is distracted by the memories of his love affair and loses the race and his auto. Later, Bigilu learns of the affair. The subplot of a smuggler's search for missing pearls adds flavour to the proceedings. The unpredictable and fun-filled climax puts everything in order.
