Plot

All of the marriages in his family have been love marriages for generations but he always has trouble with girls. He becomes shy and reserved when he has to talk with women and maintains a low profile in his work place. One day, Sanjana (Hansika Motwani) joins his office and he becomes infatuated with her but can't express his feelings. At that time he gets introduced to Premji (Brahmanandam), who earns his living by helping people to woo women. Kumar starts to take advises from Premji by paying large amounts of money.

Premji helps Kumar to get himself a makeover and gives him tips to flirt with girls. Kumar becomes more confident while dealing with women and tries to get closer to Sanjana. On Premji's advise, he spreads the rumor of Sanjana seeing her project manager George (Ganesh Venkatraman) and Sanjana gets infuriated over the rumor and stops spending time with George. But George asks her to be his girlfriend before everyone on her birthday party and she accepts, leaving Kumar heartbroken.

Premji then intervenes and helps Kumar to spread rumors on George's playboy character. After some drama, Sanjana decides to break up with George and tells him that.

Reception

Siddharth and Brahmanandam keep the film alive with their entertaining sequences. Poor music and a predictable storyline are liabilities. The movie ends up being just a decent romantic comedy."^[6] idlebrain.com gave a review of rating 3/5 stating "Something Something is a romantic comedy that features Brahmanandam in a full length character. It is one of those films in which the character suits Siddharth very well. The scenes and thread featuring Brahmanandam is the lifeline of the movie. On a whole, Something Something works because of Brahmanandam."^[7] Oneindia Entertainment gave a review stating "Expect a simple love story and loads of comedy. Woohoo Brahmi!!"^[8] APHerald.com gave a review of rating 2.75/5 stating "Don't expect an intense love story or complete fun ride from starting frame to end in Something Something. But one thing is sure there will be entertaining comedy episodes between Brahmi-Sidd and for sure you will laugh every time Brahmi is on screen. Credit for fresh funny lines which appeals to today's audiences goes to Sundar C and Brahmi's perfect execution made Something Something movie to get above two rating."^[9]
