Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Evocative and provocative, this masterfully crafted relationship drama tells the story of a series of comic events that occur when Nalla Sivam (Kamal Haasan) a wise-cracking, handicapped communist and Anbarasu (R. Madhavan), an arrogant young advertisement filmmaker who favors capitalism meet. They get stuck with each other on their problem-filled trip from Bhubaneswar to Chennai, giving them a unique opportunity to explore each other's belief system. Themes such as globalization, financial disparity and compassion in present-day India are explored around the two protagonists, while they also find how deeply interconnected their lives are. Written by Santhosh

Yes, if you have atlast come to this webpage in this huge collection of movies database. You must be either a Tamilian i.e. one who speaks or regards his culture as Tamil (or) on the look out for good movies in languages other than English.
Though good sub-titles for the movie (for non-Tamilians) could be useful. All the subtelities could be apprecaiated only when you understand and speak contemporary Tamil. Madhavan and Kamal Hasan have done a great job in playing their part in the film. Comparable only to two other Tamil films 'Kurdhipunal'and 'Nayagan'.
P.S. :Must watch out for the communist subversive messages in the dialogs.
