Arun and Pooja has an argument over the issue and Arun tells her the truth. A few months ago, Surya's father begs Arun to change Surya into a good student. Surya being stubborn, Arun cannot convinced him of studying hard. Arun believed that only love can convince Surya of doing so and he created the character Pavithra. Arun was the one who wrote the love letters and his plan worked perfectly but his only mistake was to give Surya the statue: a gift bought by his girlfriend Pooja.

A critic said, "There is a sense of déjà-vu throughout the film reminding you of many similar ones [..] What the director has managed to convey is the friendship factor, especially the deep bonding between Adhi and Keshavan. Rising heroes Prabha and Udhai essay their characters with total involvement and conviction and play a major part in bringing out this friendship factor effectively on-screen".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2010/sep/11/thirupur-185744.html|title=Thirupur&nbsp;- The New Indian Express|date=11 September 2010|access-date=20 November 2019|publisher=[[The New Indian Express]]}}</ref>
