As the story progresses, we find that the love girl resides with her close friend’s mom(Shobana), who is a music teacher. This is followed by the revealation of the information that the father used to love the teacher. But he couldn’t marry her because of family constraints.

The son and his love find the facts and set about plans to reunite the couple. They succeed in doing so after every normal film drama. And after this they realize that their own friendship has turned into love.

Looking at the devotion of the son, the father of the bride agrees to a double wedding.

The End

Rating

Story : 6/10

Acting: 4/10

Remarks:

I really think that Genilia should consider another career. She is totally lost in this world, both in Tamil and in Hindi. Om Puri’s character is completely unnecessary(Plus that guy cannot do comedy). The audience could have saved half hour without the intervention of Naseeruddin Shah.
