The film opened to Indian audiences on 24 April 1998 and was the most expensive film to be made in Indian cinema at that time. Owing to its success, it was later dubbed into the Hindi and Telugu language and released with the same title. The film was nominated by India as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1998.
Nachiappan (Nassar) is a rich indian restaurateur in Los Angeles, United States. His twin sons Vishwanathan and Ramamoorthy (both played by Prashanth), are senior medical students, who help him out in the evenings and alongside with the restaurant's chief cook, Juno (Senthil) who enjoys on weekends. One evening, Vishwanathan goes to the airport to check on the family's supply concession and sees that some fellow Indians from Tamilnadu – Madhumitha (Aishwarya Rai), her brother Madhesh (Raju Sundaram) and their grandmother Krishnaveny (Lakshmi) – have difficulty with an address. He pitches in to help and learns that they just flew in from India so that Krishnaveny can undergo a crucial surgery to remove her brain tumour.
