The film concludes with the father's repentance on his foolishness and the happy marriage of the protagonists.
The film opened to the Indian audiences on 11 April 2008 coinciding with Tamil New Year. On its way to winning accolades and rave reviews, the film became a trendsetter in Tamil cinema along with Yaaradi Nee Mohini, starting a trend for family orientated films.
