Plot
[edit]Two friends, Sembi and Raju, end up kidnapping a girl Aambal to know about the whereabouts of Raju's sister Radha, who had eloped with her boyfriend Bharath Raj. The film involves a bride-seeing event that spoofs the 1961 Tamil film Pasamalar; a driver Thilagam, who offers to give the protagonists a short ride but ends up travelling with them all the way to Kodaikanal; Arokkiyasaamy, a guy who shoots videos of men in a state of undress and blackmails them; Captain Kandasamy, the manager of a glamorous star, who is taken for a ride by the friends, who owe him money; and a monologue by Radha, which is amusing, even though it is representation of a young woman from a supposedly down market locality like Royapuram is troubling.
