Plot

Anbarasan (Anbu) is a popular, social science teacher at a secondary school in Pondicherry. Anbu, whose father is Ulaganathan, comes from a rich and successful family. In Ulaganathan's village, society is based on the Indian caste system and religion; Ulaganathan eschews these conventions and encourages other villagers to do the same. Ulaganathan is embarrassed because his daughter married her cousin without his consent; he hopes Anbu will not do the same and makes him sign a document promising not to do so.

Jessica, a British woman who was born and raised in India, begins working as an English teacher in the school where Anbu works. Anbu develops a crush on her. Jessica's father Williams wants to return to England; his ownership of the land is challenged by Boopathy, who discriminates against Williams, stating he is not Indian. Jessica's student Mahesh scores poorly on a test; the principal is disappointed in Jessica so Anbu decides to tutor Mahesh. Mahesh's grade improves, which Jessica notices, and she develops a liking for Anbu. Anbu confesses his love for Jessica; she is doubtful at first but soon reciprocates his feelings. Williams takes his case to the police but it is withdrawn. Anbu tells his parents about Jessica, who meets them. She states she is from the French Colony of Cambridge. Ulaganathan likes Jessica, and Anbu and Jessica are happy.

Anbu starts supporting Williams's case, telling Boopathy to stop, but Williams still dislikes Anbu. Ulaganathan had believed Jessica was French but when he realises she is British, he disapproves of Anbu's relationship with her, mainly because Ulaganthan's grandfather was killed by the British. At a pub, Anbu and Jessica celebrate Anbu's friend's birthday. They inadvertently start celebrating when the England cricket team defeats the Indian side, and Boopathy believes they are celebrating India's defeat. A fight ensues and Anbu hits Boopathy's head, which starts bleeding. Williams sees this and realises Anbu is a good man. Williams invites Anbu for dinner and Anbu learns Williams' family has lived in India for 50 years.

Every year, Ulaganthan is given the honour to raise the Indian flag on India's Independence Day. This year, he is not allowed because of Anbu's actions in hitting Boopathy and supporting the British. Ulaganthan wrongly believes Boopathy owns the land. Ulaganathan is angry and waits with some villagers at Williams' house. Ulaganathan confronts Williams, who wants to talk with Ulaganthan in private. When he tries to guide Ulaganathan into his house, the villagers pull on Williams, causing Ulaganthan to fall into some mud. The villagers spread rumours Williams pushed Ulaganathan into the mud. The villagers assemble in front of Williams' house and throw rocks at it.

Williams decides to return to England with his family. Anbu and his friends start fighting the protesting villagers but police are called, and Ambu and his friends are taken away. Ambu is exiled from the village for a week. Jessica goes to Ulaganthan's house and tells him the truth, she also on behalf of the Britishers who ruled India apologises for ruling them. Ulaganathan and his wife feel pity for Jessica and her family. Anbu makes a speech and is ejected, and says patriotism or humanity. The villagers realise their mistake and let Anbu back in. Anbu catches up to Williams, Jessica and their grandmother, who have been pulled over. They all apologise and Ulaganthan welcomes them back into the village, promising to treat them with respect, and accepts Anbu's and Jessica's relationship.

[35] Arvind V of Pinkvilla rated the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote: "While Jathi Ratnalu looked every bit homegrown, Prince looks half-manufactured. This is not to say that the film is unfunny. It has its moments." [36] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5; according to the reviewer; "Director Anudeep's brand of comedy is unique and might not be for everyone". [37] Soundarya Athimuthu of The Quint rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and wrote: "Prince has interesting elements and does make you laugh at times, but just that it feels like a film that would have worked better had it come a few years back when he was still not the big thing he is today. Unfortunately, he has set his bars high". [38] According to M. Suganth of The Times of India , who rated the film 2 stars out of 5; "Even Sivakarthikeyan, who turns on the comic persona from his early films that made him a star, is only able to just about keep the film from sinking". [39]

Janani K of India Today rated the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Prince is a madcap comedy that tries to make the audience laugh throughout its runtime. But, you get only occasional laughs in the latter half." [40] Priyanka Sundar of Firstpost rated the film 2 out of 5, calling it a mixed bag and writing; "For those who enjoy the grand comic set-up with momentary payoff, for those who have the patience to relate with such elaborate set up, it is an enjoyable entertainer". [41] Bharathy Singaravel of The News Minute rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote; "Romance, comedy or reference to colonial history, Telugu director Anudeep KV's first foray into Kollywood has no grasp of all three". [42] Lakshmi Subramanian of The Week also rated the film 1 star out of 5 and wrote: "Sivakarthikeyan looks good as always. But the actor fails to deliver the laughs that Prince promised." [43] Navein Darshan of Cinema Express gave the film's rating 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote; "The title Prince doesn't bear much relevance to the actual film, except as a tribute to its star actor".
