[edit] Plot
The first half of the film is all about how Vallavan(Simbu), a happy-go-lucky college student, makes Swapna(Nayantara) fall in love with him. It basically showcases Simbu's guide on how to romance. Even when he realizes that Swapna is a teacher who is three years older than him, he decides to woo her by turning into Pallan (Simbu) an ugly duckling with buck tooth and glasses, thus making her love him easily for his heart.
Soon, after a couple of well-executed dramas, he makes Swapna tell him “I love you” and they end up in bed. But when Swapna comes to know that Vallan is younger than her and that too a student, she dumps him and decides to marry another guy. Meanwhile a sequence of events take place, much to the chagrin of Vallavan who is highly insulted by them.
As Vallavan walks in the streets wondering how things could get so messy, his school days come back to haunt him. Geeta (Reema Sen) his first girlfriend at school, returns for payback time. She tells him that she was the spoilsport for the current mess in his life. Her obsessive love for him makes life more miserable for Vallan.
After a climax displaying histrionics, film fast-forwards to 3 years later. Geeta is released from a mental asylum. The moment she steps out, she lets go of her and exhibits her fiery psychotic expression. Vallavan is waiting for her and they communicate telepathically.
The film then ends on the same note as Manmadhan with Simbu thinking, 'God's on my side' and the quote - "TO BE CONTINUED..."
