Best movie of selvaraghavan and one of the best love story in tamil
Fullfilled with hardwork of cast ,set workers ,direction ,editing ,music,
And the story plot .
The story goes like this. Ravi Krishna, the elder son of Vijayan is an irresponsible youth, who bunks classes, fails in his exams, go behind girls and freaks out with his friends. Upon ridiculed by his father, he picks up a fight with him. At this moment enters Sonia Agrawal. Her family (a North-Indian one) takes up the flat 7G in the Rainbow Colony. As usual Ravikrishna like any other youngster in the area tries to impress her. He repeatedly goes behind her and cuts her name on his hand and tries to impress her with greeting cards and letters. But everything is futile.
He develops an inferiority complex and goes into a shell. Upon realizing his sorry fate, Sonia steps in to solve all his problems. She motivates him to come up in life and helps him find a job. The latter half is all about Sonia Agrawal falling in love with Ravi Krishna and her efforts to hold his hands in support. However, a series of events in their lives finally separate them and that makes the heroine to take a momentous decision in her life.
Debutant Ravi Krishna, son of producer A M Ratnam, plays the hero. He fits the next-door boy image very well and considering that it is his debut film, he needs a special pat for his performance.
Be it flirting behind the girls, antagonizing his father for chiding him, acting smart to impress the girl next door or getting mentally depressed at his lover's death, this young lad has come up trumps.
Not far behind is Sonia Agrawal. Though her character seems to be an improvisation of her role in Kadhal Kondein, she does it with ease. Especially towards the climax when she decides to share the bed with her lover, she has given her best on screen. She is indeed a screen-stealer in the movie.

Story is fairly simple, there is a local rowdy good for nothing boy, fell in love with a cultured girl. Somehow, that girl also started liking the guy, and gave him a direction in life. And there are complications as this boy is not earning, girl is engaged, parents are against their love, etc. This movie reminded me 'Ek duje ke liye', which is more or less on the same lines.
What really pulled of this movie out of 100 similar movie is script and performance. Overall narration of the movie is top notch, there are a few well crafted incidences which takes the cake. Ravi Krishna (Kadhir) and Sonia (Anitha) have given a solid performance. Full marks to Ravi Krishna, I was convince to some extend this guy must be a roadside goon only in his real life as well.
There are some flaws in technicality and originality of the script, but perfect characterization overshadow it completely. Selvaraghavan built the characters so well in the first half that in second half, you might laugh and cry together with them. In fact, I had goose bumps in last hospital scene, although I watched it with English subtitles.
This is one of the movie which grows upon you, and before you know it you're in it. Take away - must watch

Verdict: Wonderful Wonderful!! 2 Thumbs Up! Beautiful directorial venture by Selvaraghavan, excellent sequences based on a true story starring a new hero and Sonia Aggarwal.
What's New: Real Life story really moves the audience. We get to feel the pain that must have been experienced by the director in his real life that has been portrayed really well on the reels. Hero is a real loser.. the way his talent is brought out and fear is extinguished is really notable.
Saw it on: Antony, Fun Asia Theaters, Dallas
Noticeable: Daring Bedroom sequence by Sonia, really natural performance in all scenes. Much improved performance by Sonia, excellent music. Stereotyped hero by Selvaraghavan? Also, Sonia is so great because she plays a north Indian girl in Tamilnadu. Really natural performances.
