Plot

Bharath (Sathyaraj) and his wife Vaishnavi (Roja) live in Western America with their children Subash and Sindu. Riots break out in the part of America where Bharath and his family live, during which their daughter Sindu dies in a bomb blast. After Sindu's death, Vaishnavi falls ill, so Bharath decides to shift to Chennai along with his family. Even after going to Chennai, Bharath and his family are not living happily because Bharath's friend Jack (K. M. Rajendra) is torturing Bharath's family by blackmailing Vaishnavi. The flashback in the movie reveals why Jack threatens Vaishnavi.

Reception

Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "In an effort to appease the masses and the minuscule class that craves for meaningful cinema, Jayabharathy's film ends up being neither here nor there".^[3] Chennai Online wrote, "The story begins in an interesting manner but then deteriorates".^[4] BizHat wrote, "Director could have concentrated on the story more. He has tried to highlight the terrorism, and world peace on the screen but, he hasn't achieved it due to the unreal screenplay".^[5]
