She joins the same school as him as a first-year student. Rajiv helps her in many ways. At the college admission day, Rajiv falls under the spell of the fresher Pragathi. Krithika later leaves their home and moves to the college hostel. One day, Krithika falls sick and Rajiv takes care of her; therefore, she falls in love with him. Every day, Krithika records her love for Rajiv in a journal in her computer, whereas Rajiv is attracted by Pragathi's friendly approach, speech, and graceful look. However, Rajiv does not have the courage to convey his love to Pragathi. On the final day of college, Rajiv reveals to Krithika that he is in love with her classmate Pragathi, Krithika is therefore heartbroken. Rajiv then proposes his love to Pragathi, but she does not reciprocate his love and humiliates him.

After his return to the homeland, his company gives Rajiv a promotion for his work and wants to send him to the United States for a two-year project. His parents compel him to marry before he left for the US, but he categorically refuses. His parents then force him to see a bride; she is none other than his ex-lover Pragathi, and he refuses to marry her. One day, Pragathi meets Rajiv and apologizes for humiliating him when he proposed his love. She tells him that she has changed a lot since the suicide of her best friend Shalini.
Rajiv then decides to marry Pragathi. Their engagement goes as planned. Krithika, who seems to be happy on the outside, is, in fact, suffering on the inside. Thereafter, Krithika's father compels her daughter to get married but she could not forget Rajiv.

Reception
Sify stated, "The film looks more like a play than a candy floss romance as it is told at leisurely pace that induces sleep. The script is too silly and lead actors have miles to go as far as acting goes".[6] In contrast, another critic said, "Debutant director P.C.Sekhar has succeeded in giving a good entertainer in the form of Kadhale En Kadhale" and praised the performance of the lead actors.[7] A critic from CineSouth wrote that "Debut making director has made a beautiful, refined love story without resorting to titillations and lusty overtones. While expressing appreciation for his good efforts, some things have to be pointed out too".[8]
