The film was shot completely in Tirunelveli and is a village story based on the relationships between a father and son.

Thangapaandi, however, is immature and spends his time gallivanting about the village and dancing at temple functions, while failing his +2 examinations with regularity every year.

However, Thangapaandi pursues his own agenda and falls for loud-mouthed orphan girl Ayyakka (Meera Jasmine), who makes and sells pots for a living.

[3] Shwetha Bhaskar Rediff wrote "Director Ratnakumar has made so many twists to the formula, and added so many dimensions to the characters, that the movie ultimately comes across as a hotchpotch, but with bursts of freshness here and there".

[4] Lajjavathi of Kalki praised the acting of Suryah, Meera Jasmine and other actors, Venu's cinematography but panned the vulgarity and double meaning dialogues and concluded saying since director has assisted Bharathiraja, he has given a village centric film which is fine but he should have made it into a quality film, he should have concentrated more on screenplay and other aspects and totally messed up.
