Plot
Arivu (Vishnu) graduates from college and hangs out with his friends (Arjunan and Rajkumar).[2] His father (Jayaprakash) is very fond of him. Naive Arivu is used by both his friends for their love interests and gets in trouble for his irresponsible acts with his friends. His friends have girlfriends while Arivu is all by himself. On Valentines Day, Arivu challenges his friends that he can find a girlfriend after both of his friends tease him. He remembers his college classmate, Priya (Ishaara Nair), and goes in search of her.

Release and reception
The film was originally scheduled to release on 24 March, but was postponed to 29 June since there were nine other films releasing on that date in March.[6] The satellite rights of the film were sold to Colors Tamil.[citation needed]
Maalai Malar wrote that director Sureshkumar has tried to mix love and comedy in his first film; the first half of the film is very slow, but the second half is very lively. He made an entertaining film that people can watch as a family.[2] Ananda Vikatan gave the film a more unfavourable review and wrote that Sureshkumar has a lot of talent as shown by the beginning and ending of the film but criticized the middle part of the film.[3]
