There are some beautiful melodies as well as some lively and energetic numbers to suit the mood of the film. But the highlight of the film is undoubtedly the music.Īnirudh of Kolaveri fame seems to have hit the jackpot once again almost all the tracks in the film have become chartbusters overnight. Santhanam and the supporting cast, too, have done their bit for the film. Priya Anand is perfectly cast as the London-bred photographer and has given a good performance. Though he seems a bit awkward in the beautiful and melodious love songs, he is quite convincing as a lover. Instead he comes across as a softer and more mature character. We do not see much of the brash, cheeky and sarcastic Shiva that we are used to. Shiva has given a very understated performance. The film has more romance and less comedy and this is quite surprising in a film that has Mirchi Shiva playing the lead. Unfortunately, this does not stop him from falling in love with the lovely Anjali.

The two are stuck in a situation where they do not have enough money to pay the advance for a new house, and neither are they able to find the elusive Narayanan to get back their money.Īfter a lot of squabbling and fighting, they eventually decide to stay together until they find Narayanan.Īs they slowly settle down, they get to know each other and become friends.Ījay learns that Anjali is engaged to Deepak (Rahul Ravindran).

Narayanan rents out the same house to both of them and escapes with the advance. Narayanan (Santhanam) is a wily house agent in Chennai, who rents out unoccupied houses to gullible individuals from out of town without the knowledge of the house owners.Ījay and Anjali get caught in his scheme. She is visiting India to participant in a photograpy competition, and to capture the rich and colourful heritage of the country. Priya Anand is Anjali, a passionate photographer from London. Mirchi Shiva plays the role of a soft and decent M Sc gold medallist, Ajay, who has left his hometown in Theni to take up a job in Chennai.
