Upon release, the film received positive to moderate reviews from the critics and was an average grosser at the box office.
In the class room they see a new girl Shobhana (played by Tamannaah), who is strikingly different from the whole lot. She looks depressed and sad. She is aloof. The friends group are puzzled by her in the beginning and later do they know she lost her mom recently in an accident. The group sympathizes for her and brings her into its fold. The girl soon becomes part and parcel of the group and hence ditches her plans continue pursuing her course in Delhi which she had intended earlier. She simply does it for the sake of being alongside these friends during her college life.
Muthu who initially is in a form of crush over Shobhana later abandons the feeling due to the respect of the friendship they have developed among their group. The movie goes on to narrate the college life with fun and colour. It shows the strength of the friendship besides showing the backgrounds of the friends. Most of them are from poor background. Muthu has an aim in his life. Being an athlete, he wants to excel in sports and get a good job through sports quota to give his poor family a new lease of life.
Shobhana, who is from a wealthy family background feels sympathy for Muthu after she sees the conditions he and his family lives in and is really moved by his perseverance even in such a situation and helps him achieve his goal by encouraging him in every chance. In fact as true friend many do the same and so does Shobhana. She even advises him that there is more he has to and capable of achieving in life so he should take her encouragements as a way to improve his career and nothing else. But eventually her encouraging stance turns into some sort of special attachment with him. Slowly love develops in the minds of both but they chose to put it on the back seat for the sake of the larger friendship they share with the group. In fact the poor lovers don’t even share their feelings.
The narration moves on to a point when they are compelled by the circumstances to come out with their feelings but life has some other designs.
As the story moves swiftly, the film draws to a close where all the friends go for an educational trip organised in their college with a climatic ending which leaves the audience stunned.
There were good reviews but certain negative reactions from viewers and media made the director change the climax of the movie and made it more convincing to the audience.The climax of the film is based on a real life incident in Dharmapuri where 3 girls were burnt to death inside a bus during riots.
