[edit] Plot
Sachien (Vijay) is a carefree and noble-hearted college student, who comes across Shalini (Genelia) in the campus and falls in love with her.
Ayyasamy, (Vadivelu) and Santhanam ('Lollu Sabha' Santhanam), students in the same college also love Shalini. Shalini though is a good friend of Sachien, doesn't want to tell those three words that he wants her to. It eventually becomes a cat and mouse game. Enters Manju (Bipasha Basu), who runs behind Sachien with skimpy costumes, and that makes Shalini go green with envy.
When Sachien comes to know that Shalini's parents have arranged her wedding with an industrialist's son in Canada, he decides to bid bye to her and even asks apolgy for running behind her so long. Now enters Gowtham (Raghuvaran), a rich businessman and father of Sachien. Following a sequence of events, Shalini develops a soft corner for Sachien and decides to express her love to him.
And she does after a typical climax in the airport.

[edit] Box Office
The film opened in just 155 screens throughout Tamil Nadu mainly because of the stiff competition from Rajini's Chandramukhi and Kamal's Mumbai Express, the movie was not a sucess also because of the competition from Rajini's Chandramukhi and Kamal's Mumbai Express. Sachien did very average. It was not a hit.
[edit] Controversy
A day before the release, Gemini Films Circuit had accused Sachien's Music Director, Devi Sri Prasad, for copying the tune of "Dai Dai Dai Kattikkoda" from one of the songs from Telugu movie, "Shankar Dada MBBS." In order for the film to have a proper Tamil New Year release, Devi Sri Prasad had apologized and re-created the tune in place of the "copied" one. Althogh the copied tune can still be heard in the soundtrack, this had made actor Vijay, furious and as a result, sacked Prasad for Srikanth Deva in his next film, Sivakasi.
Ironically though, one of the songs from Shankar Dada MBBS was reused in Vijay's "Tirupachi", but this was used by permission from Gemini Films Circuit.
