 Fast Facts:
In the very first reel, we have Vijay's wedding arrangements happening. Vijay is a graduate in Catering Technology. His bride-to-be is not exactly happy about getting married to a cook. So, she elopes. 
In search of solace, Vijay arrives in Chennai. He falls in love with
Sandhya. She does not feel the same way about him. Just when her
engagement with Yugendran takes place, Vijay confesses his love for her.
As expected, she refuses. But, then, she slowly changes her mind and
towards the end of the film, marries him. Oh yeah! And, in between, you
come to know that Yugendran was the one who had ruined Sindhu's life.There's no extravagance in the film. There aren't many stunning scenes either. The screenplay makes you squirm. Vivek is the only person who had smoothened out all these defects. He rules the screen with his own brand of comedy as 'Karuththu' Kandaswamy. Alright, but who is that fat female who seems to appear in every Vivek film? Vijay's character has the mental maturity of taking everything easy. He has pages and pages of dialogues gushing about the virtues of love. Ever since 'Kushi' happened, he had been effortlessly doing the same kind of love story film after film. He hasn't got bored of doing it yet, but, has he ever thought about us, the viewers? He comes to Chennai to work as a caterer. But, until the very end, his job description remains a mystery. Sandhya has only one standard expression throughout the film. More than her expressions, she had paid more attention to reciting her dialogues. Vijay seems to have a lucky planet ruling strongly in his charts when it comes to acting with beautiful heroines. Yugendran gives ample clues about his evil side with his slanted devious looks and lifeless dialogues. So, the suspense isn't all that much shocking. Petty predictable it is. 
The back-home-after-eloping Sindhu and the perennially drunk and
brawling Haniffa have nothing to offer to the story.'Shahjahan' fame Mani Sharma had stooped down to the levels of the director to score music for this film. The audience that rejoiced with Vijay and Simran in 'Aal thotta Bhopathy' compulsorily boycotts the hall when other songs begin to play. The story was already seen in films like 'Kaadhal Mannan' and 'Minnalae'. Now, we have another one. Why? Vijay's fans expect a lot from his films. With a second rated screenplay, Vivek's comedy and a folksy tune, the film was made. They seem to have made the film relying solely on the expectations that his fans have. If the same trend is to continue, soon, Tamil cine industry is going to lose its 'Youth'fulness, wither away and bury itself.
