About the movie:
This is a very pleasant movie and moreover the important aspect of the movie is timing comedy.The director has used humor has a precious tool to say the moral of the story.The film begins in Bhubaneshwar and the climate is worse, as cyclone was approaching the city.Both Madhavan and Kamal were to board the Chennai flight.
Due to heavy rain all flights were cancelled and with the help of Kamal, Madhavan gets a 3 star hotel for accommodation.But Madhavan hates and never respects Kamal as he was a disabled man.Apart from this Madhavan was from a wealthy family, and he never finds the 3 star hotel comfortable.
Then the next day they tried for the train, but unfortunately the same case happened here, as all the trains were cancelled.So with the help of madhavan's friends they decides to travel at the bus roof, which Madhavan has to accept as he lost all the money and has only credit cards.
The reason why Kamal came to Bhuvaneshwar was that, to get the compensation money of about 32 lakhs.Then the bus stops at a place and from that they have to catch a train to reach Chennai.But the station master said the train will stop only for 4 minutes.The way in which the station master says was very humorous and brilliant.
When asked by Madhavan he replied "2 to 2 to 2:2".... I guess you can understand when we write but in that movie it was confusing and later Kamal clariies it.The station master said the train will stop from 1:58 to 2:02( 2 minutes to 2:00 clock to 2:02).Kamal also reveals he was getting married in 2 days time.
Mean while Kamal says his flashback, where he was in love with a Bussiness Magnet's daughter,Kiran and finally when they decide to get married without Nassar's(Kiran's Father) permission, Kamal met with an and that has made him disabled.After recovery when he goes to see her,Nassar says that she was already married and settled abroad.So Kamal was dejected and he leaves that place.
Then the film comes to the present where Kamal and Madhavan starts a quarrel when they were speaking about Communism.As a result of this, Kamal was left behind in the railway station and Madhavan travels alone without Kamal.Meanwhile on the way the train stops and Madhavan also lost his luggage to a co passenger(Yugi), whom he felt was a very good man.
The reason why the train was stopped is that there was an accident on the track the previous day when a train on that track derailed and many people were dead and many more were injured due to this accident.Madhavan was suprised to meet Kamal there and Kamal said he has lot of friends and he came to that place by an ambulance.
A small boy who was injured in that train accident was in need of AB -ve blood and Kamal knew that Madhavan also has the same blood group and he informs the doctor.At first Madhavan hesitates as he was afraid, but later when he sees the boy he gives blood and saves the boy's life temporarily, and the doctor felt that he needs to be taken to Chennai for higher treatment.
So Madhavan and Kamal also travel in that Ambulance and later on their way to Chennai, the small boy dies and this really hurts Madhavan.It was at this time Kamal tries to explain what is life and how the life should be...He also says the power of forgiving others will not result in revenge and naturally a war free world can be expected.
Then they reach Chennai and Kamal was shocked to see that Madhavan was going to marry his ex-lover, Kiran.He also understood that Nasser lied to Kiran that Kamal was dead and so she accpeted to marry Madhavan.Nasser who has noticed the presence of Kamal asks him to leave that place.But Kamal wants to use this chance and he also made arrangement, that the workers in Nasser's company will get increment in salary.
Later Nasser sends Santhana Bharathi to kill Kamal, but when the former hesitates to kill him,and so Kamal praised him that he was also a God as he has forgiven him.Then the story ends when Kamal and his pet dog (Sangu) walks in the flooded street of Chennai.

About the movie:
This movie starts in Sri Lanka where a Sri lankan Tamil couple gets married.But after some years many Tamil people decides to leave for India as a refugee.
After 9 years it was shown that Madhavan and Simran had 3 children, a daughter Amudha and she has two younger brothers.She lives a ver happy life till her 9th birthday, when Madhavan and Simran decides to say the truth that she was adopted from a refugee camp from Rameswaram.
Really this is a very heart touching scene to say a child that she was not their own child.Amudha was shocked to hear this and pleaded them that it must be a lie.She also scolds them for revealing the secret and also says that it would have been better not revealing the secret to her.
Amudha was dejected and after knowing the truth she tries on her own to go to Rameswaram and find the whereabouts of her real mother.After realising that Amudha was missing, Madhavan understood that she might have gone to Rameswaram and was able to find her.
But Madhavan clearly undersood the feelings of Amudha and he promised her that they will go to Sri Lanka in search of Amudha's mother.So as per his promise Madhavan, Simran and Amudha reaches Sri Lanka and there they were invited by the Sri Lankan Tamil Sangam, because apart from being an Engineer Madhavan is also a writer.
There he also meets Prakash Raj who is a Sinhalese Doctor and also a friend of Madhavan.He is the one who will guide Madhavan's family in Sri lanka.There Prakashraj informs that Amudha's mother was there in a village and also guides them with the bus route.
But unfortunately before they reach the village the war has started between LTTE and Sri Lankan Army and all the people of that village have already evacuated.But still they could meet the women but unfortunately she was not Amudha's mother because there were two village in different places under the same name.
The rest of the story revolves around, how Amudha finds her mother.At one instant when Madhavan and Prakash Raj were walking in a forest, they were kidnapped by the LTTE.But they realised that Madhavan was a Tamil writer and decides to let him free but not Prakash Raj as he was a Sinhalese, but Madhavan tries and informs them that he was the person who helped them.
When Madhavan said about the reason why they came to Sri Lanka and also said Amudha's mother name, the LTTE group leader was surprised to hear that it was none other than her sister.He also asks them to come the next day at a specific location.When Madhavan comes with his daughter and wife, unfortunately fighting starts in that place as the Srlankan Army got the information that LTEE will come to that place.
So Simran get injured in this accident and they left the place.Amudaha realises that Simran was very kind to her after she saw the suffering of Simran when she got injured.So she decides not to hurt anyone hereafter and said that they can leave for India.
The next day when they were going to the airport, Simran asked to stop the car at the same place where fighting took place the previous day.Now she could see Nandita Das and this was a very emotional scene when Amudha met her mother and asks her some questions.Finally Nandita Das felt that her daughter was safe in India than in their place and left that place.This was a very touching moment.Finally Amudha joins with her adopted mother Simran and the film ends.
Credit must go to A.R.Rahman who did a marvelous job in this film.The music he composed in this film are very very cute and also makes us feel the pain.Amazing work and thats why he got a National Award.Don't miss this movie.
