The story opens with the entry of hero Bhupathy to the house of heroine Priya. Their father happens to be old buddies and Bhupathy in search of a job stays on at Priya’s place. Bhupathy’s cocky ways and carefree attitude irks Priya no end and she misses no chance to tick him off or pull his leg. Priya is engaged to marry another man, but on a trip to Ooty with Bhupathy chaperoning her, Priya falls for him.

As she boldly confesses her love to him, a shocked and confused Bhupathy who had found himself thawing towards her, reminds her of her engagement and the fact that it would jeopordise the friendship between their parents. As the preparations for the marriage are on, truth does come out. How the matter is put in the proper perspective forms the rest of the story.

The film opens interestingly enough, the earlier scenes being lively and enjoyable. It’s more to do with the characterisation of the hero than the situations. We can enjoy Vijay’s antics as the cocky, playful Bhupathy with not an iota of seriousness in him. But then the narration proceeds on the same plane, there are hardly any exciting moments in the script, and it all becomes a bit too monotonous in the end.

The actors can’t do much here to salvage the film. The chemistry is missing not only between the characters, but also between the lead pair. The director brings in so many relationships, like the friendship between the two fathers, but no relationship really looks convincing. A remake of a Telugu film, it is strictly for Vijay#$#s fans.
