Plot

Krishna (Yuva Krishna) works at an eatery owned by Vivek (Vivek) while Gayathri (Ankitha) is a radio jockey. They are neighbours and both their families begin to quarrel. Their families then start to like each other and become good friends. They decide to arrange the marriage between the young couple but they both refuse and Vivek tells them the reason.

Krishna and Gayathri fell in love with each other in college. From time to time, they were involved in small quarrels but the couple made it up every time. One day, it was the "straw that broke the camel's back": Yuva told his friends about being close to Gayathri and described her, she got angry and they split apart. After finishing college, Gayathri's family moved into a house opposite to that of Yuva.

Their families and Vivek try their best to rejoin them but her relative Sri (Sriman) tries to win her heart and Gayathri even accepts to marry Sri. For the marriage of their friend in their college, Krishna and Gayathri return there. Vivek and their collegemates try to convince Krishna and Gayathri to be together again. Krishna has a change of heart, he convinces her with a song and they eventually reconcile.

Release and reception

The film was released alongside the low budget films Girivalam and Gurudeva and did not fare well at the box office. [3]

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "It seems like a script written in haste, with not much serious thought going into it. A disappointment from the team of Sunder C. and K Selvabharathi (director and story dialogue writer respectively), who'd given us such a breezy entertainer like 'Ullathai Allithaa'. Thaka Dhimi Tha is just wasted steps!" [1] A critic from BizHat wrote that "Sundar C’s hilarious narration of a routine story makes it enjoyable". [4] Kalki called it an age old love story and called Vivek as the only positive. [5] Sify wrote "Thakathimitha directed by Sundar.C, is yet another campus love story with no big surprises as the story and presentation is already seen in umpteen films in the same genre. This time the hero is Yuva Krishna a debutant and giving his company is Vivek in a full length role. Of course Vivek hogs the show but is as stale as yesterday’s sambar!" [6]
