Mahesh (Jayam Ravi), who is a catering student. The more Deepika and Mahesh run into each other, and he starts following her wherever she goes. Mayilravanan (Prakash Raj) is a policeman who wants to marry Deepika. In hopes of creating a distance between Deepika and Mahesh, Mayilravanan seeks a relationship with Sudha Rani.

Critical reception[edit]

  • Thiraipadam wrote:" It has the Saran stamp both in the positives like a fast-paced screenplay and a plot twist and the negatives like a weak climax but the overload of coincidences and contrivances is the movie's biggest problem".[2]
  • Hindu wrote:"The story meanders in rudderless fashion before suddenly waking up to an action-packed climax".[3]
  • IndiaGlitz wrote:" Though certainly not in the category of Amarkalam or Vasoolraja, Saran's Idhaya Thirudan is a sure attraction for youths".[4]

Box office[edit]
