Trisha who dons the role of Jessie works in Infosys. Karthik seeing Jessie loses his heart to her.

But Jessie gets scared and confused about her parents. She confuses Karthik also and finally deiced to settle with the person arranged by her family. Whether Karthi and Jessie reunite is the rest of the story to be seen on the silver screen.
Simbhu as Karthik is not a boy who can show tricks by hand. His maturity can be well seen in this film. Let it be when he falls in instant love with Jessie or the way he wanders to make his love a success are really captivating. In a scene he follows Jessie to KFC. When he comes near Jessie, she asks whether he was following her. He in turn says that she is following him. Jessie says her office is here. He in turn says that KFC is also here.

There is no need to speak much about A R Rahman’s music. The songs of this film have already become popular. The lead guitar right from the beginning journeys throughout the film with us. The songs Omana Penne and Hosanna are fantastic. Rahman has once again ruled his dynasty with elegance. It definitely makes one to hum the songs while coming out of the theatres.
There are no words to describe the camera work of Manoj. He had earlier shown his coolness in the film Eeram. He had excelled in this film.
On the whole Gowtham Vasudev Menon has given a cute and sweet musical romantic film.

But that does not stop the makers of Routhiram from doing basic groundwork for the movie. Hence it has been decided that the super sexy Shriya will play Jiiva's love interest in Routhiram, while the rest of the cast and crew are yet to be finalised.
