- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of people who like stories about real, flawed people. Leaves you with something to think about.

- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 25 min.

Vishwa spends his time hanging out with Anandham to avoid his mother, who always quarrels with his dad. To find peace, he plays tricks on others. Among the victims is Jothi. The story moves to London, where Vishva visits Princess Diana's grave and leaves a beautiful poem behind. At the same time, Jothi too visits the grave and leaves a note after reading the poem. Then begins a warm relationship between Jothi and Vishwa without seeing each other. Whether the two are united form the rest of the story.
