Director: Raghuraj
Cast: Ashok, Priyanka Trivedi, Haripriya, Vivek, Mouli, Yuvarani

The first half takes you on a trip to exotic locations abroad. The second half has the director making sure that the lovers who had earlier met on a brief tryst, never get to meet each other till it's closing time. So it's star-crossed lovers, narrowly missed encounters, and the final re-union.

Following their brief romantic tryst in Germany, Anjali and Ashok part ways due to force of circumstances. Returning to India, each tries to trace out the other, but it's all a case of narrow misses. So, while he enters a place, she's just left it, looking the other way. And while they cross each other in their vehicles, she's bent her head down, and misses seeing him. He enters her office, but she's just stepped out from the other door. She visits him at his fast-food restaurant, and leaves just when he's approaching her car. He finally traces her phone number and calls her up, but she refuses to take the call, mistaking it for someone else's.

The final encounter is at the airport-lobby where she swoons. While a crowd gathers around, he on his first job as a steward on an airline, refuses to even look at her, mistaking her for a 'must be some silly girl' and passes her off. This would have gone on for an irritating infinity, but thankfully the director remembered it's closing time, and goes in for a dramatic finale at the airport! And to think that the film's original Telugu version 'Kalasu Kavalani' was a big success in Andhra! At least the Tamil version doesn't look like it will repeat the success story!

In the growing list of promising debutants is Ashok who can dance-fight-romance as good as any other hero. Priyanka is a sight for sore eyes. Vivek's is comedy-missed.
