Plot

[edit]

Kumaresan is a rich landlord in a village who spends his wealth for the welfare of his village in Erode district. As Kumaresan's parents died when he was young, he has no one to care for except his sidekicks (Vadivelu, Manivannan and Halwa Vasu). Local Panchayath president Govindan also hails from the same village who has enmity with Kumaresan. Kumaresan does not respect Govindans growth from being a labor in his farm to a rich politician, and Govindan keeps interrupting often whenever Kumaresan wants to find a bride.

Nandini comes from a poor family whose father (GR) is a drunkard. Nandini excels in academics and gets admission into a government medical college but has literally no money for her education. Kumaresan has a soft corner for Nandini and comes for rescue by taking responsibility for her education expenses. Slowly, Kumaresan falls in love with Nandini, but does not disclose it to her. However, Nandini views Kumaresan as her well-wisher.

In 5 years, Nandini graduates as a physician while Kumaresan also builds a small hospital in his village and Nandini gets employed there. Nandini's father plans for her to marry Govindan's son. This infuriates Kumaresan, who announces his love for Nandini which shocks her. Nandini replies that she never had any such feelings towards Kumaresan as she always has a huge respect for him but not love. This worries Kumaresan and understands that it was his mistake to take Nandini for granted. Nandini's wedding is arranged with Govindan's son, but Nandini decides to marry Kumaresan in the end as she thinks that is how she can reciprocate for all the help of Kumaresan. In the end, Kumaresan and Nandini are married.

Critical reception

[edit]

Malathi Rangarajan from The Hindu noted it was "typical fare" and that "it evokes only a lukewarm response because both the hero's characterisation and the storyline are vague throughout."[5] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote, "If Satyaraj can be subtle and fascinating to watch, he can also be loud and overplaying to the gallery, as he has proved here". She added, "The title, however, seems an apt one. For the whole scenario is a verbal, loud and noisy affair".[6] Sify wrote, "The film is shoddily shot and director Senthil Kumar has no clue about how the story progresses. Satyaraj is stale in such roles as he does his usual comedy. Late Pratyusha is ok. Deva rehashes the Malayalam tunes which fail to impress. On the whole Sound Party is hollow and is a waste of time".[1]
