 What attracts Soorya to Rishabha the moment he sets eyes on her is that she is different from the rest, sober and socially-conscious. He is drawn to her, expresses his love, she too reciprocates. He even consents to her condition, when she proposes that they part and meet a year later at a designated place. If theirs was indeed true love, it would stand the test of time, she believes. A year passes, he reaches the place, but she's not there. His enquiries reveal that she'd got married and left the place. Hurt and furious at her betrayal, he vows vendetta, and goes on a search for her. But when the moment of reckoning comes, he's in for a shock.
The ending is a little different, daring, thoughtfully planned and appreciable. There are some unnecessary distractions, like the hero tonsuring his head, his mannerism of twitching his neck, and the animal-like howls he emits, considering that the character was not mentally imbalanced, but only yearning for revenge. But the rest of the script is well thought out and sensitively handled, the debutant director (apprenticed with Shanker) revealing a firm grip on the medium and showing a lot of promise.
 For Vignesh who's been struggling to get a foothold in films, his performance here should make film-makers take him more seriously as an actor. Whether it's the fights or the romance or the emotional scenes, Vignesh performs with conviction. Parthibhan, surprisingly, fits well into the role of the local 'dada' with the goden heart. It's to the credit of both the artistes and the director that the Partibhan-Vijaylakshmi romantic interudes have been projected very sensuousy, without any vulgarity.

For petite and talented Uma, neglected by the
film industry, this should be a tuning point in her career. The actress has played her role with understanding, particularly in the closing scenes.
About three years in the making, and after crossing various hurdles, Soori has just hit the theatres. But, fortunately, the time-gap has not affected the look of the film or its smooth narrative flow.
