Plot

Jeeva is the college boy and singer (with bundles of commitments belonging to the lower middle class) who enchants the rich college girl Kausalya with his musical skills. Kausalya, the music buff who is in the habit of appreciating good singers over the phone, does it with Jeeva also. The telephonic voice of Kausalya turns out to have a tremendously magical romantic effect upon the hero, who besides falling in love head over heels with her, wants to see her.

Cast

Production

Following the release of director Agathiyan's Kadhal Kottai (1996), aspiring director Balu claimed that Agathiyan had stolen the story of the film from his half-complete venture Un Ninaivaaga. To appease Balu, producer Sivasakthi Pandian offered him the chance to make a film for his production studio.[1][2] The film was named after a song from Kadhal Kottai. Kavitha made her Tamil debut with this film, and Balu gave her the screen name Kausalya.[3][4]

Reception
