Deepika is an arrogant, rich girl and the sister of local don Kasi. She is a medical college student and dictates terms at the college. In college, she is feared by students, professors, and even the college dean. Aarya is a final-year student who comes to Chennai Medical College from Coimbatore. A soft-spoken Aarya runs into Deepika. They give each other the cold shoulder. In a fit of rage, Deepika kidnaps Aarya's sister, but Aarya faces her challenges daringly. However, she soon falls in love with him, but he is not ready to marry a ruffian's sister. The remaining story tells us how the brother and sister put pressure on Aarya to become a rowdy so his status is equal enough as Kasi's so Aarya can marry Deepika. Meanwhile, "Snake" Babu is elected the area councilor and has a few encounters with Aarya and one with Deepika. Finally, Deepika changes her ways and, with her brother's blessings, unites with Aarya.
The film was in development as early as 2005.Tejashree was selected ahead ofMadhumitha for a role in the film.[2]
The soundtrack was composed byMani Sharma and the lyrics were written byP. Vijay.[3]
Sify wrote, "Director Balasekhar has packagedAarya keeping the ordinary viewer who loves mass movies in mind. Madhavan, Bhavana and Prakash Raj have done their bit to make it work with the viewers and provide a time-pass entertainer".[4] Manaswini ofKalki wrote if Balasekaran had told the story without tension, increased the pace of the script a little more, reduced the Bhavana-Prakash Raj antics a little more, and polished the climax a little more, Arya would have been someone who cannot be beaten.[5] Malini Mannath ofChennai Online wrote, "It's a film sans any logic or sensibility. But what keeps it going is its racy pace, which breezes through all those bizarre situations and takes it to a finale, where it is all wrapped up in a neat smart knot. You miss this film, you haven't missed much!".[6]
In 2015, a comedy film titledVellaiya Irukiravan Poi Solla Maatan, taken from a line mouthed inVadivelu's comedy sequences, was released.[7]
