Plot
The story revolves around Bhanumathy who marries Rathnavel Kalidas, a man who works in railways and is also a trained
mental asylum, where he later hangs himself. This seems to be a true story which happened in Andhra Pradesh in the late 1990s, and Rathnavel's (name changed) family members are still there in Kakinada, but the movie ends with a happy note when we see that Ravi and Bhanu are still happily married and Bhanu is visibly pregnant

The music got positive reviews, praising Yuvan Shankar Raja's work. He was, in particular, lauded for making singers
Sudha Raghunathan render songs in different genres as they earlier never did,[4] whereas especially Raghunathan's first-time rendition of a Hip hop song called "Kadhal Periyadha", was seen as a "surprise item",[4] cited as "bringing out the Britney Spears in her".[5] Moreover, the album itself was described as a "pure musical delight",[6] whilst composer Yuvan Shankar himself was cited to be rocking.[5][6] "Pesugiren Pesugiren" and "O Indha Kaadhal" were topping the charts for some time.[7] Neha Bhasin was later awarded the Reliance Mobile Vijay TV Award for Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Pesugiren Pesugiren" [8]
Reception
Nandhu Sundaram wrote for Rediff.com, "Surprisingly, hits are hard to come by in the thriller movie genre in Tamil, so, any noteworthy attempt deserves to be appreciated. SM Vasanth's Satham Podathey is one such attempt".[9]
