[edit] Plot
Surya is a restaurant owner. He dislikes the idea of young couples flirting with each other in the name of "love". His close friend Nanda, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He introduces himself as an employed bachelor to every girl he meets on the road.
Nanda falls in love with a young girl (Maha). Unfortunately, Nanda's marriage is arranged with his cousin Trisha. Neither Nanda nor Trisha is interested in the proposal. When Surya talks to Trisha on behalf of Nanda and explains to her that his friend is in love with someone else, Trisha tells Surya that she too is not interested in marrying Nanda. She even says that her dream is to marry someone like Surya.
Surya's disbelief in love fades out after meeting Trisha. He falls in love with her. But, there is an interesting twist in the movie and it is not the usual climax you might expect to see.

The film opened in 50 screens in South India. It received a big opening. The film played for 86 days making it a HIT due to the relatively Low Budget of the Film. The film also marked the arrival of director Ameer who went on to make crtically acclaimed and highly successful movies like Ram and Paruthi Veeran
