Plot
The protagonists are three children - Nilaa (Ranjani), Amar (Dinesh) and Pulli (Udayaraj). The two boys work in a garage (child labour?) which is next to Nilaa's house.
Nilaa, daughter of a popular actress (Roja) who is estranged from her husband, has all the material comforts but yearns for company. Soon, she strikes a friendship with the boys. The children `plan' a picnic and Nilaa provides the car, food and the works. Their excitement knows no bounds. But that day proves to be the last day of their carefree laughter, childish pranks... their innocence-filled childhood.

Release
Reviewers from The Hindu cited that "Udayaraj as Pulli hogs the limelight. As the eight-year old orphan who only dreams of being with his non- existent mother and is completely ignorant about the ways of the mean world, Udayaraj would give the best actor a run for his money".[3]
