Plot

Muniyandi is a narcissistic man from a village in Theni who cares about his reputation and money, and who would go to any extent to get what he wants. His sister Dhanam and Balu are in love with each other, which Muniyandi disapproves of. Dhanam poisons herself and tells him that she will get married if he takes her to the hospital, but Muniyandi leaves her to die and also treats his wife Muthulakshmi poorly. Muthulakshmi finds out that her husband is having an affair, and Muniyandi tells her to put up with it. Because of the way Muniyandi treats her and her family, Muthulakshmi burns herself to death, which her young son Viruman witnesses. Enraged, Viruman chases his father with an aruva into the court. When the court advises him not to kill Muniyandi, Viruman says that he does not want to live with him and wants to be raised by his uncles Niraipandian and Balu.

Years later, tension and rivalry grow between Viruman and Muniyandi, which bothers other people, specifically Viruman's brothers – Selvam, Muthukutty, and Ilango. Out of respect, Viruman takes any criticism and disrespect from his brothers because he respects them. Meanwhile, Thenmozhi "Theanu," who is Selvam's sister-in-law, praises Muniyandi due to the fact he is her sister's father-in-law and hates Viruman. However, Viruman is in love with her. When the family has a fight, she publicly defends Muniyandi. Meanwhile, Selvam needs a job and wants his father's help, which he rejects. Viruman helps him get a job with the help of MLA Pathinettaampadiyan, who fortifies a condition to sell his mother's land, which Viruman has always refused to sign for years but finally does so for the sake of his brothers. Thaenu realizes this and starts to reciprocate his feelings.

Their relationship is caught by Muniyandi, who starts to disrespect her and asks her to pay for the remaining dowry from her sister's marriage. While the whole village is getting involved with Selvam and Muniyandi, Viruman tells him to stop co-depending on his father as he has his own family to focus on. Selvam agrees and decides to live independently from his father. This enrages Muniyandi, who wants to fight Viruman, but Thaenu kisses Viruman, which shocks everyone. Muthukutty wants his father to sign for the auction for the restaurant, which his father rejects. His wife suggests asking Viruman, which he is hesitant to do at first but later accepts. When Muniyandi finds out, he asks the village rogue Soonapaana, who slapped him, to make Muthukutty lose the auction. When the auction happens, Viruman realizes that his father has hired Soonapaana and decides to trap him. He makes his gang chase him, and Viruman locks them up.

Muthukutty ends up winning the auction for the restaurant. Soonapaana and his gang arrive and disrespect the staff. When Soonapaana raises his hand and Muthukutty, it is stopped by Viruman and a fight ensues. Viruman beats up Soonapaana and his gang, which leads to them being at the hospital. Muniyandi is mad at them and brings sarees to imply that they are women. Angered, Soonapaana vows to get the son and father killed. While Viruman and Thaenu are on their date, they encounter Ilango with his girlfriend. She turns out to be Pathinettaampadiyan's daughter, and they have been dating for four years. Viruman asks him whether he told their father, and he says no. Viruman comes up with a plan that Ilango should slap Viruman, which would make his father happy and proud of Ilango and then bring up his relationship. The plan is done.

Muniyandi accepts and says that he will ask Pathinettaampadiyan; however, Pathinettaampadiyan rejects the idea. When Viruman arrives, Pathinettaampadiyan reveals that he actually wanted Viruman's approval rather than Muniyandi's, which enrages Muniyandi. He says to cancel Ilango's marriage proposal, but Ilango reveals that he is done with his father and leaves. Meanwhile, Muniyandi's brother Kuthalam Thevar and his son Sembadayan decide to kill Viruman. Sembadayan lies to his cousin Viruman saying they need his help to fix a marquee for a funeral. When Viruman visits, a fight ensues. Muniyandi witnesses this, and Viruman knows it was not the former's idea because he would have arrived earlier. It turns out that Kuthalam wanted to kill Muniyandi and put the blame on Viruman because he wants his brother's money. Muniyandi arrives home and is mad at everyone for leaving him. He drinks alcohol and faints, and he is sent to the hospital.

It turns out that Muniyandi has kidney failure due to his alcoholism and needs a donor. Viruman's paternal grandmother tells him that his father is in the hospital. Muniyandi's kidney transplant is successful, and it turns out that Balu has donated his kidney to him. While everyone is asleep, he leaves to visit his wife's old home. While he is there, Soonapaana and his gang arrive and try to burn his house. Viruman arrives and starts to attack his gang, when he also realizes his father is there and saves him. Muniyandi tells Viruman to leave him there because he feels guilty for Muthulakshmi and Dhanam's deaths, and apologizes for his actions. Viruman forgives him, and they reconcile.

Reception

Critical response

Viruman received mixed reviews from critics and audience. [18]

Janani K of India Today rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Viruman could have been yet another template film with clichéd elements. However, it crumbles with its underwhelming screenplay". [19] Lakshmi Subramanian of The Week rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote it "is a predictable affair with hardly any plot twists; and if there are any, those are resolved in the next few scenes". [20] Gautaman Bhaskaran of News18 rated the film 1 out of 5 stars and wrote "Karthi was interesting in his 2007 debut, Paruthiveeran , but has somehow never managed to wean himself away from the same kind of portrayals, infused with rage and rancour, in his later outings". [21] Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Viruman doesn't make you feel much while watching it, nor leaves you with a lot of thoughts about parenting. It is largely a passable movie". [22] Sowmya Rajendran of The News Minute rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated "Most films on family feuds set in rural areas are ultimately about kudumba paasam. Viruman would have been interesting if it had broken out of the formula". [23] M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film's rating 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "On the technical side, there is basic proficiency, but even these feel generic – Selvakumar SK's visuals have the oft-seen colour palette found in contemporary rural films while Yuvan Shankar Raja contributes with a couple of catchy songs and a score that just about works." [24] Haricharan Pudipeddi of Hindustan Times after reviewing the film stated that "Viruman is the kind of film you don't mind overseeing because it creates a festival-like experience that's best enjoyed on the big screen." [25] Srivatsan S of The Hindu after reviewing the film stated that "If at all there is a takeaway from Viruman, it is that we have finally found a formidable pair in Karthi and Raj for the Tamil remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum ." [26] Sudhir Srinivasan of Cinema Express rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, stating that "Soon as you see an expansive setting (like an open field, an empty warehouse…), you know that a fight scene is incoming, and bad guys are going to bounce more times off the ground than a rubber ball." [27] Behindwoods gave the film's rating 2.5 out of 5, stating that "The performances led by Karthi, Yuvan's music, and the rooted nature make Viruman a watchable family drama." [28] Ananda Vikatan rated the film 39 out of 100. [29] Dinamalar rated the film 3 out of 5. [30] Krishna Selvaseelan of Tamil Guardian rated the film 2 out of 5, stating, "the film is an underwhelming feat, with refreshing moments which helped carry it across the finish line". [31]
