Plot
Anand (Sachin) is an advertisement photographer. Quite typical to such genre of films, he comes across Annalakshmi (Sunaina), who is conservative in her looks. After a few initial encounters, Annalakshmi develops love for Anand. However, Anand has other plans. The mystery is soon unraveled and is made known that Anand hails from a family of doctors. When everyone thinks that Anand will tie the knot to Annalakshmi, the twist occurs in the form of Anand accepting an arranged marriage. What transpires between the lead couple forms the rest of the story, which ends in an interesting climax.

Reception
A critic from The Times of India gave the film two out of five stars and wrote that "The film's thin storyline is not at fault, only it loses out to poor, unimaginative narration".{{Cite news |title=Yathumaagi Movie Review |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/yathumaagi/movie-review/5686117.cms |access-date=2023-07-21 |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=30 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231030022420/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/yathumaagi/movie-review/5686117.cms |url-status=live }}
