Vijay goes to Switzerland in Europe to stipulate a contract with Nagaraj and Shekar. There, he meets Meenakshi, Nagaraj's sister. The two of them fall in love. Nagaraj approves of Vijay, but when he expresses the condition that Vijay should stay with them after the marriage because India is not good, he refuses his offer and returns home. However, Shekar and Meenu later travel to India to mend fences. Shekar learns that Pooja had been dumped by Nagaraj for a better life, and Vijay is just waiting for an opportunity to kill the man who destroyed his sister's life. He devises ways of preventing Nagaraj from attending the marriage, but he later tells Pooja the truth.

Release

This low-budget production opened to positive reviews,^{[citation needed]} with a critic from Indolink.com claiming "even though the film has absolutely nothing new to offer, it doesn’t test your patience."[6] The Deccan Herald labelled that "all in all it is a pleasant film" and that "Vijay’s a little glib, Rambha’s weight loss makes her look haggard and Raghuvaran as not a villain is nice", claiming it was "worth a look".[7] A review from Tamil Movie Cafe noted "an ordinary love story has been made fairly entertaining".[8] Ananda Vikatan rated the film 34 out of 100.[9]
