Producer Prakash Raj along with director Radhamohan, has given a different kind of a film far from the routine stuff which makes it stand out from the others.

The story unfolds in a flashback. Chandran (Prasanna), Chitthapa, Moorthy and Puyal are four friends and the common factor which binds them together is Tamil Films. They live in the terrace of Chettiar's house in a small room. They are desperate to make ends meet Chandran's dream is to become a big director, Moorthy aspires to be an actor, Chtthappa is fond of writing humour stories and he wants get into that line. Puyal falls for all the girls who he meets. Film industry goes on strike and the four friends do odd jobs like becoming a cartoon caricatures in MGM, Cooking at marriages etc. A friend of Chandran comes with a request to bail out Nandhini (Navya Nair) daughter of a tyrant father (Pyramid Natarajan) from a marriage with a software engineer Aravind (Prakash Raj) she does not like. Chandran devises a plan and acts as Nandhini's lover and stops Aravind from marrying Nandhini. Aravind starts a liking for Chandran and the story takes a twist here. He gets the couple married at the registrar's office and Nadhini'd father throws her out of the house. Aravind presents a new apartment and an upset Chandran and Nandhini starts living in the same apartment. It starts as a friendship, which soon turns to love for Chandran but Nandhini still treats him as only a friend. Chandran gets an offer to turn director and Nandhini gets a job in Bangalore. Whether Nandhini realizes Chandran's love and whether they unite at the end forms the rest of the story.

Prasanna has improved a lot and given a very fine performance. The other three friends from the traditional Koothuppattarai are equally good. Debutante Navya Nair though lacks glamour fits the role like T. It's Prakash Raj who excels, though appear in a brief role. Director Radha Mohan and producer Prakash Raj has to be appreciated for giving a neat family entertainer without a pinch of gory action scenes, vulgar visuals, double meaning dialogues etc. The film moves at a jolly pace and the director is able to sustain it till the end. The characters are well etched and portrayed in a natural manner. Ramesh Vinayagam's music is melodious and listenable. But for the climax which is the usual end, the film is a clean entertainer.
