Surya was flying in a helicopter when he received the information and in spite of father's death he request his chief to continue the operation.Still he has got time to reach the destination and in this time Surya starts to think about his father.He also remembers his past where his mother was narrating their love story.

Then the film goes to the flash back and Malini(Simran - Surya's mother) refreshing her college life when she was proposed by Krishnan.At this time, the first song of the film ,"Munthinam parthene...." will entertain us and it is so pleasing to hear and this song and the singers Naresh Iyer and Prashanthini have won many awards for this song.

In fact all the songs in this film were super hit, thanks to the music director Harris Jayaraj and Lyricist Thamai.In this particular song Krishnan comes has a college boy in 1980's and most of the song's shooting was taken in Puducherry.The director made sure that all the hair style and dressing remembers the 80's.

Then Malini married Krishan and Surya was born and at that time they were staying in a small house but they were happy.After some years Shreya, Surya's sister, was born in Calicut.It was also shown that Surya gets lost for a while when the family went for beach and from that time Surya deceided he will always be with his father and never forget him.

Then the family gets shifted from Calicut to chennai and Surya and his dad came in a lorry with the luggage.Krishnan found that the driver was drunken and so he doesn't wants to take risk as his son was staying with him and he starts to drive the lorry and asked Surya not to tell her mother.

Then Surya grows up and  his father become a role model for him as he taught everything that includes how to bowl swing bowling in cricket.Even he was the inspiration for Surya in music as Krishnan encouraged Surya whenever Surya plays guitar by dancing with Malini.

But Krishnan had the habit of smoking.Once he also asks Surya not to smoke as he does as it was bad for health.When Surya asked his dad, then why he was smoking, his father replied he had this habit from his college days.He also advices him not to talk with girls in road and gave permission to invite his girlfriends to house.Meanwhile Surya was threatened and  by some college guys thinking that Surya was in love with his classmate Arthi.In fact they injured Surya by slapping in his face.

Surya was very angry and after seeing his frustrations Krishnan asked Surya to do the right thing.Surya understood this and the next day he goes and meet that college boy and he also beats him.After beating that college boy Sury was ver happy and says he will speak with Arthi and no one can stop him.

During this sequence next song comes,i.e "Yethi Yethi...." sung by Benny Dayal, Naresh Iyer and Solar Sai.This song contains dances in michael Jakson style which was taken in sets and also in roadside.This was a very fast song and it was also hit.

At first he was excited and he didn't speak to her.But later to his suprise Meghna introduce herself to Surya and said she already saw him in her college,REC Trichy during a musical competition.Later Surya proposes her and Meghna was shocked to hear this.Then he takes his guitar and starts to play the famous Tamil song "En Iniya Pon Nilave...."

But couldn't understand how he could propose her at first sight and she is not intereseted in love at first sigh

The Surya asks her three questions
