Plot

Muthu (Karthik) is the favourite employee at Rojavanam, an old age home jointly by two friends (Ravi Kumar and Nizhalgal Ravi) in Ooty. Sindhu (Malavika) is a psychology student staying near to the home who falls in love with Muthu. But Muthu develops a liking towards Roja (Laila), the daughter of his boss, and later learns that the boss and his friend had decided long ago that their children would be married, and this has resulted in the friend's son Siva (Akash) growing up enamoured of Roja. Roja also has a liking towards Muthu and her father accepts Muthu as his son-in-law, but his friend, angered at this, decides to bulldoze Rojavanam to the ground. Muthu steps in to solve the problem and convinces Roja to marry Siva as per their parents wishes, so that Rojavanam will be saved. Muthu makes Roja understand Siva's love for her and gets them both married. Siva and Roja's parents feel happy and Rojavanam is saved. In the end, Sindhu is married to Muthu.

Cast

Production

The team of the successful film Pooveli (1998) came together to make Rojavanam and chose Karthik to essay the lead role again. Initially the team approached Isha Koppikar to play the lead female role, but her unavailability led to the team casting newcomer Laila.[1] Four songs were shot abroad in France and Geneva, Switzerland.[2]

Critical reception

Balaji wrote:"honorable intention doesn't translate into more than average viewing".[3] Indolink called it "real bore".[4]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Bharadwaj collaborating with the Pooveli team for the second time. Lyrics written by Vairamuthu and Pazhani Bharathi.
