Raja, an unemployed graduate, moves to a neighboring village in search of a job after being insulted by his uncle, who threatens to evict his mother. There, he falls for Thenmozhi. Her uncle creates problems for them, and the rest of the film follows how Raja overcomes these obstacles and succeeds in his love.
The music was composed by Deva and the lyrics written by Pulamaipithan and Kalidasan under the pen name "Thirupathooran".[2][3] Even though Deva had made his debut in film music composition with Mattukara Mannaru (1986),[4] it was this film which gave him a break as a composer.[5][6]
P. S. S. of Kalki praised the acting of Seetha and her banter with Ramarajan while also praising the acting of Nizhalgal Ravi and Deva's music. He however felt Goundamani as antagonist is made to fool around ruining the seriousness of his negative role.[7]
