They are, in fact, cross-cousins, and so, in a way (according to rural custom), should marry. Priyamani plays Muthagalu, a stubborn, free minded, educated girl who is in love with him. Karthik plays Paruthiveeran, a low-class orphan who is used to being a free personality, doing whatever he likes without any concern for custom or law.

With remarkable photography and great performances by the main actors. To see the beauty and simplicity of the Tamil Nadu Village. Watching the movie in big theater will take you literally to the Village, and should watch this in at least Home theater not because this movie has 3D efx like Avatar or Roaring sound of Whistle like Sivaji or Special Efx extravagance Inception but for living along with the characters of the story. This is one of the rare movie that shows our tradition and nativity.

I wonder how this movie missed as the entry for best foreign film for Oscars. the story is very simple but the way Ameer had handled the script is terrific and hard to convert in letters. After Bharathiraja's movies like 16 Vayathinile or Muthal Mariyathe, we had lost the touch of Tamil Earthy Movie thats so realistic and natural. He is so much talented that he proves again and again. After watching the movie at one stress you are not going to forget the song 'Aiyyayyoo' or 'Ariyatha Vayasu'., Masterpiece.

Let it be the BGM or the Songs, Yuvan scores well and he once again proves this is Yuvan Yugam. Yuvan Shankar Raja's Music was a milestone on his way to become the most versatile of all. They give high level of support to the main cast for delivering the entertaining and tragic story of Paruthiyur. At Many scenes her performance can match any actress in the world and is the best role done by any actress in India in recent times, at a time when actresses are used as a Barbie doll. Her voice is very powerful and is very apt for this particular role. Then 'Muthazhagu', Priyamani (National Award Winner) what a Performance!. He is so confident and have the casualness of an Experienced Actor.

Karthi (Debut) 's portrayal of the character is impressive and he doesn't look like a debut-ant. Actually I saw each and every Character very near to me. When I got the Ticket, I didn't expect that I am going to a Village called Paruthiyur.
