When Eshwar come sto know about Kumaran's talents in kick boxing he trains him against his unfaithful student and the rest of the story is how he finally wins over the game as well as the hearts of all in Malaysia.

Raja has given a film with 80% sentiment and 20% action to attract the womwn audience. As far has Ravi is concerned he has given a wonderful performance. He has emoted the right way be it the easy going happy days with his mom, as a kick boxer in action scenes and the crying kid when his mother dies. It is Nadhiya in her second innings who steals the show through out the first half. Every bit of her acting is a treat to watch. Hats off Nadhiya! Asin is petite and beautiful. Not much scope for acting. Prakash Raj makes use of his cameo appearance to the hilt. Vivek's comedy is the rehash of his earlier films. The mother – son relationship is well brought out by the director. The film drags a little in the second half. Srikanth Deva's music is just ok. A film to woo women audience.
