Plot
[edit]In Palakkad, Thirupathi (Ashok Kashyap) completed his studies and graduated in MBA. Thirupathi lives a wealthy lifestyle with his loyal servant Pazhani (Crane Manohar), his aunt Vijaya (Vinaya Prasad) and his two cousins: Vaani (Ashwini) and Abhirami (Tejaswini Prakash). Vijaya wants Thirupathi to take charge of their export company. So Thirupathi becomes the new managing director of the company. His cousin Vaani and his employee Mohana (Mohana) are in love with him. While in Coimbatore, Thirupathi and Pazhani (look-alikes with the same names) are petty thieves. The pair stumbles upon a bag containing a few lakhs of rupees and escapes to Palakkad. The complications that arise due to the mistaken identities, and the havoc it creates in the life of the foursome, forms the rest of the story.

Reception
[edit]Malini Mannath of Chennai Online said, "one would never have thought that a plot with such potential for humor would turn out to be such a tragic experience for the viewers. And the best part of the film? The acknowledgment that it is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Though one wouldn't like to know what the bard would have thought of this one".[2]
