It was released on 14 January 2005. Vijay and Trisha paired for second time after Ghilli.

The story is about the upright lifestyle of Sivagiri and the affectionate bond he has with his sister. Sivagiri feels that a brother's duty towards his sister does not end with her marriage. The movie was dubbed in Hindi as Insaaf Ki Talwar. It was later remade in Telugu as Annavaram (2006) in Kannada as Thangigagi (2006).

Sivagiri (Vijay) is a blade-smith in a remote village near Thirupaachi. He has a lovable sister named Karpagam (Mallika). He runs into some hilarious incidents while searching locally for a groom for his sister. Sivagiri confides to his friend Kannapan that he wants his sister to be in a good city after her marriage. Sivagiri also nods his acceptance, when a city guy proposes to Karpagam. He accompanies the newly weds to Chennai. He finds a girl named Shuba (Trisha) welcoming them, and they both fall in love after initial mishaps.
