Plot

Simbhu is elected college chairman after he beats Charmi, the daughter of Ravishankar, a minister. Predictably, the two soon fall for each other, though they never directly reveal it. But when Ravishankar learns of the love affair, he is staunchly against it and is willing to go any distance to make sure that it never succeeds. At Simbhu's house, his father mentally harasses his wife, since he suspects her of having an affair with her ex-lover. Outside the home, Simbhu is helped by Vakkeel Dada, a lawyer who makes sure justice is served, whatever the means.

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "This rich guy-poor girl romance, set against a college campus backdrop is narrated in the director's expected, inimitable style".[6] S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu wrote "The story line has nothing innovative to offer in terms of content".[7] Sify wrote "This is the launch vehicle of Silambarasan the ?Little star? of yesterday who is touted as ?Little Superstar? by his father T. Rajendar who has produced and directed film Kathal Azhivathillai. The film has been made to showcase Silambarasan?s many talents (?). In spite of all this and loud boasting, the film is a slur on the audience thinking capability. Does T. Rajendar think that the audience are dumb and ignoramus?".[8]
