Cinematographer Vijay Milton falters in narration as a director. He goes overboard with animation and cinematography, missing out on a good screenplay in the bargain.

Mano (Bharat) and Jo (Mallika Kapoor) have only one mission. Mano wants to separate Nandhini (Deepu) from her lover Prem (Arun Kumar) as Nandhini is someone he loved when they were schoolmates in Ooty. Jo is in love with Prem, so she wants the lovers separated too. They try many tricks, but fail. To their surprise, the lovers separate because Prem finds Nandhini flirting with someone else. Mano joins Prem as his driver and soon becomes his confidante. Mano starts brainwashing Prem into loving Jo. Mano succeeds in his mission and the marriage is fixed. Jo then finds out that Nandhini has nothing to do with Mano and the story is a hoax. Watch to find out what happens next.

Bharat and Arun Kumar ham their way through this one. The only saving grace is Mallika Kapoor, who gives an excellent performance as the bubbly girl. She is a welcome addition to Kollywood.

The film is too lengthy.  The predictable climax and disturbing graphics mar the pace.
