Lovely

The film unfolds against the misty hills of Ooty, tracing the romance between Chandru and his beloved Niveditha. Their love challenges a stern rule of the household: Mahadevan, Niveditha’s father, is strongly against love marriages. When he learns of their bond, Niveditha, following a carefully laid plan with Chandru, hands him a photo she says is of her lover, but it actually features Chandru’s friend Azhagesh. This ruse provokes a comic flare as Mahadevan hires local trouble to threaten Azhagesh, and the ensuing skirmishes are lighthearted and full of mischief.

As the plot thickens, Chandru and Niveditha keep scheming to win Mahadevan’s approval for their wedding, weaving together schemes and hope. A turning point arrives when Mahadevan’s car breaks down on a road trip; Chandru, with his family, crosses paths with him, offers a lift, and drops him home. This act of help slowly earns Mahadevan’s goodwill, and soon the two families begin to form a friendly bond. Yet the lovers cling to their secret, enjoying the easing of tensions while not revealing the romance to their parents.

Chandru’s parents push forward a marriage proposal and present it to Mahadevan, who tentatively agrees and informs Niveditha. She continues to pretend that she is in love with Azhagesh, maintaining the ruse as the wedding plans proceed and the families grow closer. Happiness swells as the big day approaches—only to be derailed days before the ceremony when Chandru’s brother elopes with Niveditha’s sister. A chaotic search begins, and the two families lash out at one another, threatening the fragile peace they had built.

The tension peaks when Chandru locates the eloped couple at a police station. It’s revealed that Niveditha’s sister staged the elopement to derail the wedding because she believed Niveditha loved Azhagesh. Chandru’s brother, in league with the plan, helps fuel the drama to force a cancellation, and for a moment it seems the union may crumble.

In a decisive turn, Chandru confronts the truth: Niveditha’s heart belongs to him, and Azhagesh was merely a decoy. Mahadevan overhears this revelation, and though anger flares, he is ultimately moved by Chandru’s character. After a heartfelt apology from Chandru, Mahadevan forgives, impressed by the authenticity and integrity he’s witnessed. With the parents’ blessing restored, [Chandru] and [Niveditha] are united, and the two families find renewed harmony.

Ultimately, the story centers on two lovers navigating parental opposition, family pride, and a web of clever schemes. It blends humor with warmth as it follows their journey toward a hopeful, shared future, reminding viewers that love, patience, and genuine respect can bridge even the widest divides.
