The film stars Kunal, Monal and new actress Mamtha in the lead roles, while Ramji and Karunas play supporting roles. The music was composed by Bharani with editing by P. Sai Suresh and cinematography by Sri Shankar. The film was released on 17 May 2002 and was a slip-up from the director's previous film Paarvai Ondre Podhume (2001).
This film is a tribute to Monal, who died just before its release.
Plot
[edit]Vikram is a happy-go-lucky man who works in an advertising agency. He is a casanova and enjoys playing pranks on people. Vikram is in love with Swetha, who is very possessive about him. In one of his many practical jokes, he tells Swetha one day that he is already married. He even introduces her to Priya, who is a model working for him, and she convinces Swetha that they are married. Swetha is heartbroken and decides to marry a boy whom her parents chose. When Vikrma learns of this, he returns and tells her that everything was a planned joke, but to his shock, Priya who was his college mate, turns against him and continues to tell Swetha that she is Vikram's wife. Priya has an axe to grind against Vikram, because of whom her father killed himself while they were in college. Finally, all ends well.

Critical reception
[edit]The film received negative reviews. Sify called it "one of the most insipid films" and "There is nothing new about the story, presentation and even the acting of Kunal and Monal are disappointing".[5] Screen wrote "Director Muralikrishna starts off with a good story but chooses a tame ending".[6] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "There is nothing fresh here by way of script or narrative style, not the good music which was a chartbuster in the earlier film, and worse, the film continues long after it should have ended. There is not much by way of performances either".[7] The Hindu wrote "That pulling a fast one once too often and playing pranks at others' expense could turn dangerous at some point is a theme that is as old as life itself. But at least the treatment could have been different."[8] Cinesouth wrote "The director seems to continue reeling under the hangover of the commercial success of "Paarvai Ondre Podhume". But, the kind of weight the story has is not reflected in the screenplay. This leads to uneasy squirming of the theatre audience".[9]
