University is a 2002 Indian Tamil-language romance film directed by Praghadish starring Jeevan and Gajala.
He greatly differs from his peers-he doesn't smoke, drink or participate in any vices, which immediately sets him apart when it comes to friendships.
One fine day in college, his Romeo friend gets hit by an oncoming scooter, which a happy and extroverted girl called Shanmathi (Gajala) was riding.
It is then revealed that due to his difficult upbringing that resulted in his introverted and low self esteem nature, he never speaks up for himself.
She was on the verge of committing suicide as her father had forced her into flying off to Malaysia since he disliked her love for singing, traveling and enjoying without a care in the world.
With her friend's help, Shanmathi manages to trace the address of the mystery caller, eventually realizing that he is from her college.
Gandhi writes beautiful poems during his past time, of which the college's Psychology professor discovers and appreciates.
When Gandhi asks Shanmathi about the mood of the song to which he can write appropriate lyrics, she neglects him completely, showcasing utter dislike for him.
Even when Boopathy scribbles love notes on the walls of the college, Shanmathi's real lover never appeared.
In a short duel, Boopathy manages to stab Bala's leg and free Shanmathi, who jostles in the crowd and reaches the room her lover was in.
The director was supportive of Jeevan's decision to not cut his hair for the film, which was unconventional for actors during that time.
