Plot

Saravanan (Deepak Dinkar) is a television anchor who is experiencing hard times in both his professional and personal life. He is being bested at his workplace by a colleague, harassed by a loan shark, and fears his girlfriend Deepika (Neha Ratnakaran) is having an affair. Saravanan chooses to escape his troubles by going to a party with his friends where he becomes intoxicated. While drunk he unknowingly tells Mark (Rajendran), who is a hitman, to kill his competitor at work, his loan shark, and Deepika. When he wakes the following morning, he finds that his colleague and his loan shark are dead, and a call from Mark telling Saravanan that he has done what he has asked. Saravanan tries to prevent Mark from killing Deepika. Toward the end, it is revealed that Mark's targets all died by accident before Mark could kill them. While attempting to kill Deepika, Mark falls from a ledge and dies, without Saravanan knowing his true identity as he was drunk when he met Mark. The end shows Saravanan being paranoid that every man who meets Deepika, now his wife, is secretly Mark and trying to kill her without ever knowing that the real Mark is dead.

Reception

Ivanuku Thannila Gandam opened to negative reviews but they singled out Rajendran as the highlight of the film. Avinash Gopinath of Filmibeat gave the film two out of five stars. Gopinath praised Rajendran's performance in the film who he felt carried the film. He also commented that Dinkar's acting as the lead needed refinement. Gopinath bemoaned the screenplay and felt some "unwanted sub-plots" could have been edited out.[2] Sify rated the film as average. They appreciated Rajendran's comic acting stating "the film belongs to Rajendran". However they felt scenes not involving him showed that the filmmakers "tried too hard to make the film as a laughathon". The soundtrack of the film was described as "passable".[8] Tamilstar reviewer Kumaresun gave the film two out of five stars. He pointed to Rajendran's comic role as "the high point" of the film. However he felt the "movie is amateurish, and ends up nowhere".[9] M. Suganth of The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and stated "It is a film where amateurishness is passed for attitude, and silliness, and crass dialogues... for comedy".[10]
