Plot

The movie is about Harichandra (Karthik), who always lies and cheats everyone. However, nobody knows that he is a big liar and a cheat. Because of this, they still continue to believe him. Then, Harichandra meets a school principal named Nandhini (Meena) for a shooting purpose. Later, he falls in love with her; thus, he tries to cheat and lie to impress her. Unfortunately, for him, Nandhini was clever enough to identify all his lies and cheats, but no matter what, they still reunite again after every quarrel and fight. Quarrels and fights lasted until their wedding moment. Eventually at the end, everyone knew that even though Harichandra lies and cheats people, he is still a good human being. Thus, Harichandra and Nandhini got married and lived happily.

Reception

Geocities wrote "The story (by Jeevakumaran) of this movie is different from the others and that makes it interesting to watch. It has been well narrated by a clear and non-dragging (except for the song sequences) screenplay (by Cheyyar Ravi and G. Thiagarajan) with natural dialogues and a smooth direction (both by Cheyyar Ravi). 'Cheyyar' Ravi has done a good job."[2]
