The film centred on young Ajay, who suffers from a chronic brain tumour. Even on his terrible cognitive days, he still decides to lead a peaceful, happy existence. Anjali, attracted to his optimism and resolve, eventually falls in love with him. In a last, desperate bid to connect with him, she feigns the same sickness to draw them both together in a more spiritual way.
It narrates the emotional journey of Ajay (Ajith Kumar), a young man who comes to know that he has a chronic brain tumour. In the face of this shattering news, he decides to live out his days with humility and grace, with his devoted parents who are still grappling with acceptance accompanying him through each day. It’s his ever-calm and positive attitude towards life that is an object of admiration from those around him, in particular Anjali (Richa Ahuja).
Anjali, touched by Ajay’s bravery and soft spirit, finds herself falling for him too. To try to get closer to him, she fakes having the same affliction, hoping that a shared affliction will bring them together. When she finds out about Ajay’s health ordeal, her love for him becomes even more intense. Not abandoning him in his hour of need, Anjali marries Ajay, marrying him in sickness and health and being by his side with undying love as he approaches the bitter end of life’s highway.

With its delicate descent into the infinities of love, sacrifice, and resilience, the film aims for direct, piercing emotion and succeeds with fierce moments and muscular creation of character that opens up doorways into the heart that stay with you. Though not a box-office success, its strong narrative and realistic portrayal of the human conflict and plight set it apart as one of Tamil cinema’s most enduring and poignant achievements, which is still fresh in the audience’s memory.
