Rating52%
The film is a love story between Sathyaraj and Meena. Sathyaraj and Goundmani, the best comic combos in Tamil cinema. Goundamani's nostril flaring sarcastic dialogues with Sathyaraj's carefree Coimbatore brand of humor made for the perfect twosome that never failed to tickle the funny bone. The usage of both the witty dialogues and the slapstick in right doses. If Manivannan joins them, never ceases to laugh. The story starts from Manivannan entry in film, He wants to drag down Jayachitra and he asks Sathyaraj to marry his daughter Meena. So those two starts cheating Jayachitra and Meena, After Meena—Sathyaraj marriage knot, truth comes to the light. The plot takes twist when Meena suits for divorce.
