Plot

Sathya (Arun Vijay) is a very good artist and is known for his art. He paints pictures and sells them on the road where he meets a lot of trouble, that's where he gets to know of Thilottamal over the phone. He starts searching for her, but to no use.

In between, Nimmi (Rambha) comes as a model and falls in love with Arun, but he declines it for Thilottamal. He even thinks Meena is as mentally disturbed as Thilottamal, but she is not.

Finally, Thilottamal writes a letter to Arun that she is going to die as she is so horrible to see and that she does not deserve his love. Arun runs all the way to the cremation ground to see her at least once, but by that time they have cremated her. Arun goes to the beach and sits with tears in his eyes.

Reception

Visual Dasan of Kalki called the film as good start for director Indrakumar but panned Annadurai's editing due to dragged scenes. [6] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "Though the director has managed to maintain an element of surprise throughout, the script has many loose ends". [7] Indiainfo wrote, "Large amounts have been spent on the picturisation of songs and the music by debutant Music Director Jai is okay but falters in rerecording. Camerawork by Srinivas is average". [8] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "The title has a poetic touch and the story, an interestingly new angle. It is the screenplay that lacks crispness". [9]
