Attakathi

Plot Summary

Dinakaran is a middleclass guy with an easy going attitude and no ambitions, except to fall in love with a smart girl and get married. He drops out of school and tries his luck with girls. His efforts with girls (Divya, Nadhiya, Amudha) are futile and he finally gives up on falling in love and concentrates on his studies. He enrolls into a local college. One day, Dinakaran reconnects with a new student in the college (Nandita), who is his childhood friend and one of the girls he tried to woo as a teenager. He tries to avoid her as it reminds him of the time he was constantly humiliated by his own feeble attempts to impress girls. As time passes, he cannot help falling in love with Poornima, especially when she shows him an old bus ticket he had bought for her. Dinakaran is heartbroken when Poornima refers to him as her brother. He realizes that he cannot remain sad forever and bounces back quickly. He soon realizes he was never in love with Poornima at all and it was only a crush.
