== Plot ==
Nanu Prabhu is a happy-go-lucky youth who joins in a college and falls in love at first sight with his senior Sandhya. Despite the fact that she is older than him, he does not care about it and pursues to woo her. He is aided by his best friend Petha Perumal, a lazy [[gluttony|glutton]] who drools over food, in his love quest. Sandhya dismisses his romantic pursuits and looks upon and mingles with him only as a friend. They travel in the same bus to the college and become good friends. Soon, trouble starts in the form of Sandhya's batchmates who are in love with her; they do not approve of her relationship with Prabhu. This puts them and Prabhu at loggerheads. Their clash, however, proves to be an advantage for Prabhu, as it causes Sandhya to bond closer with him. After a series of events, Sandhya eventually reciprocates his love and is about to propose back to him when Prabhu is hit by a speeding van and dies on the spot. Sandhya then becomes hysterical and cries uncontrollably, with a dead Prabhu lying on her lap in front of the crowd that had just gathered at the scene of the accident. Five years later, Sandhya becomes a teacher in the same college where she and Prabhu studied, unmarried and living with the memories of Prabhu. <ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2010/aug/16/kadhal-solla-vandhen-178677.html|title=Kadhal Solla Vandhen|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
In [[Tiruchirappalli|Trichy]], 'Nanu' Prabhu, a carefree teenager, joins college and falls deeply in love with his senior Sandhya at first sight. Undeterred by their age difference, Prabhu pursues Sandhya with unwavering determination, aided by his best friend Petha Perumal, a [[Gluttony|glutton]]. Sandhya views Prabhu as just a friend, but as they commute to college together, their friendship blossoms. However, complications arise when Aravind, one of Sandhya's batchmates and a one-sided lover, disapproves of Sandhya's association with Prabhu.
 
Under the guise of assisting Aravind, Prabhu cultivates a closer relationship with Sandhya. Aravind and his friends soon realize Prabhu's intentions, and tensions escalate. Aravind attempts to win Sandhya's heart, but Prabhu foils his plans. As Prabhu's absence makes Sandhya's heart grow fonder, she draws closer to him and his family. One day, Sandhya receives a call from her father, requesting her to meet a prospective groom in [[Chennai]]. This news devastates Prabhu, who considers proposing to Sandhya when handing her the ticket but ultimately hesitates.
 
Upon Sandhya's return from Chennai, she reveals that she did not connect with the groom, delighting Prabhu. Emboldened, Prabhu confesses his love to Sandhya during a heated argument with a senior. However, Sandhya reports the incident to the college principal and, feeling uneasy, departs for her hometown, [[Karaikudi]]. Undeterred, Prabhu follows Sandhya to Karaikudi, apologizes, and persuades her to return to Trichy. Upon their return, Prabhu reaffirms his enduring love for Sandhya.
 
Sandhya attempts to test Prabhu's feelings, hoping to prove that his emotions are mere infatuation. However, her efforts yield no results, leaving her increasingly entwined in Prabhu's affection. Prabhu's parents, witnessing their son's all-consuming love for Sandhya, withdraw him from college and have him assist his father at work. Sandhya meets Prabhu to announce the completion of her exams and her impending departure home, urging him to move on and reconsider college the following year. However, Prabhu remains silent, secretly planning an emotional proposal by staging an accident with the help of a friendly bus driver.
 
Unbeknownst to Prabhu, Sandhya has developed feelings for him and intends to propose. The next day, Prabhu hands a suicide letter to Sandhya's friend, who delivers it to Sandhya in the exam hall. Fate intervenes when the arranged bus driver takes leave due to his wife's delivery and another driver takes charge. As Sandhya rushes to prevent Prabhu's supposed suicide, the driver attempts to contact him but fails. In a tragic twist, the bus avoids Prabhu, but a speeding van strikes and kills him instantly. Prabhu's parents arrive just in time to witness their son's lifeless body. Overcome with grief, Sandhya cradles Prabhu in her lap, surrounded by the gathering crowd, and weeps uncontrollably.
 
Five years later, Sandhya returns to their alma mater as a lecturer, still unmarried and cherishing memories of Prabhu.

Plot[edit | edit source]

In Trichy, 'Nanu' Prabhu, a carefree teenager, joins college and falls deeply in love with his senior Sandhya at first sight. Undeterred by their age difference, Prabhu pursues Sandhya with unwavering determination, aided by his best friend Petha Perumal, a glutton. Sandhya views Prabhu as just a friend, but as they commute to college together, their friendship blossoms. However, complications arise when Aravind, one of Sandhya's batchmates and a one-sided lover, disapproves of Sandhya's association with Prabhu.

Under the guise of assisting Aravind, Prabhu cultivates a closer relationship with Sandhya. Aravind and his friends soon realize Prabhu's intentions, and tensions escalate. Aravind attempts to win Sandhya's heart, but Prabhu foils his plans. As Prabhu's absence makes Sandhya's heart grow fonder, she draws closer to him and his family. One day, Sandhya receives a call from her father, requesting her to meet a prospective groom in Chennai. This news devastates Prabhu, who considers proposing to Sandhya when handing her the ticket but ultimately hesitates.

Upon Sandhya's return from Chennai, she reveals that she did not connect with the groom, delighting Prabhu. Emboldened, Prabhu confesses his love to Sandhya during a heated argument with a senior. However, Sandhya reports the incident to the college principal and, feeling uneasy, departs for her hometown, Karaikudi. Undeterred, Prabhu follows Sandhya to Karaikudi, apologizes, and persuades her to return to Trichy. Upon their return, Prabhu reaffirms his enduring love for Sandhya.

Sandhya attempts to test Prabhu's feelings, hoping to prove that his emotions are mere infatuation. However, her efforts yield no results, leaving her increasingly entwined in Prabhu's affection. Prabhu's parents, witnessing their son's all-consuming love for Sandhya, withdraw him from college and have him assist his father at work. Sandhya meets Prabhu to announce the completion of her exams and her impending departure home, urging him to move on and reconsider college the following year. However, Prabhu remains silent, secretly planning an emotional proposal by staging an accident with the help of a friendly bus driver.

Unbeknownst to Prabhu, Sandhya has developed feelings for him and intends to propose. The next day, Prabhu hands a suicide letter to Sandhya's friend, who delivers it to Sandhya in the exam hall. Fate intervenes when the arranged bus driver takes leave due to his wife's delivery and another driver takes charge. As Sandhya rushes to prevent Prabhu's supposed suicide, the driver attempts to contact him but fails. In a tragic twist, the bus avoids Prabhu, but a speeding van strikes and kills him instantly. Prabhu's parents arrive just in time to witness their son's lifeless body. Overcome with grief, Sandhya cradles Prabhu in her lap, surrounded by the gathering crowd, and weeps uncontrollably.

Five years later, Sandhya returns to their alma mater as a lecturer, still unmarried and cherishing memories of Prabhu.

Reception[edit | edit source]

Rediff.com wrote "Now, if only the director had shown some logic and rationale in the story instead of re-working several other earlier films, this movie might have lived up to the promise it generates in the first half".[3] The New Indian Express wrote "humour in the lines, fun-filled moments, and a racy pace which keeps the audience engaged for most part".[4]
