Plot

Kamesh (Santhosh), a playboy, meets the modern and practical girl Subha (Archana Galrani). Subha wants a non-committed relationship, and the two start to hang out, and they even have sex one day. Kamesh slowly falls in love with Subha and wants to settle down in life, so he asks her to marry him, but she declines. Thereafter, Subha agrees for an arranged marriage with the engineer Anand (Krishna) who is also Kamesh's best friend.

The young couple moves to Ooty. Kamesh is still obsessed with Subha and wants to have sex with her one more time, so he arrives in Ooty and stays at their home. Kamesh starts to lust for her, but she refuses to cheat on her kindhearted husband. Kamesh then tortures her mentally for sleeping with her, and Subha eventually accepts and brings him to a hotel. There, she gives an interview for the journalists she has invited, and Kamesh is dazed. Subha tells them that she had premarital sex with someone and he is now torturing her. She then takes a knife and stabs Kamesh to death. Subha is arrested for the murder and is sentenced to five years in prison. The film ends with Anand comforting his wife in jail and swearing that he will wait for her.

Reception

S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu said, "Oru Kadhal Seiveer is a film with a message that has not been conveyed very well. The climax is a let down thus diluting the story". [5] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "Santhosh reveals more maturity in his second film, and is more comfortable and confident here. Archana suits the role, acquits herself fairly creditably, but needs to work more on her expression" and concluded, "It's a film with a message, but could have done with more finesse". [6] A reviewer from Cinesouth praised Santosh's acting but criticised the heroine's acting, the first half of the film and the double entendre dialogues. [7]
