It stars Santhanam, Srinivasan, newcomer Sethu and Vishakha Singh.[3] The film marked Santhanam's venture into film production with his Handmade Films. The film was co-produced by Rama Narayanan while S. Thaman scored the film soundtrack.[4] The plot revolves around three friends who fall for the same girl, who has just moved into their neighbourhood. The movie released on 13 January 2013 to positive reviews and became a blockbuster and pongal winner of 2013 at the box office. The movie is based on Indru Poi Naalai Vaa by K. Bhagyaraj.
Shiva, Kaalkattu Kaliyaperumal (KK), and Power Kumar (Power) are three friends with no occupation other than getting drunk and chasing girls. A girl named Sowmiya moves in with her family to the house opposite Shiva. The three friends fall for the girl's beauty and make a gentlemen's agreement to let the girl choose her boyfriend. The three attempt different methods to woo her. Shiva helps Sowmiya's aunt with household work; KK joins Sowmiya's uncle to learn singing; and Power joins Sowmiya's father to learn Bharatanatyam.
One day, when none of Sowmiya's family members are home, the three eventually profess their love, leaving Sowmiya confused. Following the advice of her neighbour, Sowmiya reveals to all three that she loves actor Simbu. The neighborhood boys then decide to bring Simbu as a gift for Sowmiya's birthday, but Simbu says he does not know anyone named Sowmiya. They then hire a thug named "Kolaveri" David to kidnap Simbu, but he kidnaps Sowmiya instead. As Simbu refuses to help them, Shiva, KK, and Power go and save Sowmiya from David, and she falls in love with Shiva because Power and KK had earlier beaten Sowmiya's uncle and father severely; they later marry.
The music was composed by S. Thaman. The audio was released on 10 December 2012. The notable guests of the audio function were director Shankar, Simbu, actor-producer Udhayanidhi Stalin and director Rajesh to name a few.[6]
The soundtrack features a remixed version of the song Aasaiyae Alaipolae from the 1958 movie Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum, composed by K. V. Mahadevan and sang by Thiruchi Loganathan. The song "Love Letter" is copied from the song "Naan Unnai Vaazhthi Paadugiren" from the movie Nootruku Nooru composed by V. Kumar.
Musicperk.com rated the album 7/10 stating, "The composer Thaman has done a credible job to make sure the album’s genre is met with properly".[7]
Prior to its 13 January 2013 release, filmmaker K. Bhagyaraj filed a suit against the film stating that it used the same storyline as his 1981 film Indru Poi Naalai Vaa. He also accused the makers of falsely claiming to have acquired the rights from his film. It was later announced that the film, upon orders of a high court, would acknowledge both Bhagyaraj and his Indru Poi Naalai Vaa story in the credits.[8]
