Director: SR Prabhakaran

Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal is a romantic comedy movie.  Nayantara, for the first time, is romancing Udhayanidhi Stalin, who is also producing the film under his banner Red Giant Films. The film is directed by SA Prabakaran of Sundarapandian fame. 

Udhayanidhi plays Kathirvelan, a Hanuman devotee who doesn't look up to women since the age of five for no reason. In an attempt to reconcile a misunderstanding between his sister and brother-in-law, Kathir arrives in Coimbatore. He wouldn't leave the town until he unites his sister with her husband. During his stay there, he reconnects with his long forgotten friend Mayil (Santhanam), whom he had last met in college.

Meanwhile, Kathirvelan falls head over heels for Pavitra (Nayantara), his neighbour, about whom his sister had warned and advised him to stay away from because of a family feud. Since Kathirvelan is incapable of expressing his feelings and he takes the service of Mayil to make Pavitra fall for him.

With just a few scenes that genuinely evoke laughter, the film is mostly dreary, melodramatic and snail-paced. Santhanam tries his best to entertain with his overtly cliched one-liners, but not every time do they hit the bull's eye.
