A first-year college student, his only objective in life is to have fun with his friends. He falls in love with Kavya (Sindhu Tolani).

Critical reception[edit]

Indiaglitz wrote "weak screenplay and poor characterization makes '[Sullan]', a big disappointment".[7] Sify wrote "Ramana's narrative and script are absurd and his attempt to make Dhanush a superstar material has failed miserably. Sullan is all sound and no fury".[8] B. Balaji wrote "With such over-the-top situations and graphics-filled stunts, the fight sequences in Sullaan look like they belong in a cartoon!".[9] Chennai Online wrote "Director Ramana, who gave a success with his debut film 'Thirumalai', seems to lose control over his script, characters and artistes from the early scenes itself. The whole scenario being crass and loud, subtlety seems to be the last thing on the director's mind."[10]
