Plot

Karthik ( Jai) falls in love with Janani (

). Although she is reluctant at first, she later accepts his love. After Janani's approval, Karthik goes to Australia as per his father states in order to finish his education. In the time that he had gone, Janani's parents arranged another groom for her, Siva (

). Janani thought that Siva was more richer and handsome and would live a better life with him; therefore, she agrees to marry him. However, fate plays with them again. When Karthik is coming back from Australia, he meets a man. He chats with the man, and they soon become friends. He tells the man about his love story and how his lover had betrayed him for someone "better". The man tells him that the best way to teach her a lesson is to show vengeance and ruin her life. As a result of the man's advice, Karthik seeks revenge and forces Janani to sleep with him and other malicious actions. As the film progresses, the major plot twist is that the man that Karthik had met was actually Siva, who had been both a barrier and facilitator for their love to become united. In the climax, Janani tries to sleep with Karthik after being disappointed with Siva. However, in a sudden turn of events, Karthik kills her for betrayal but regrets it. Siva goes back sadly after coming to know that Janani is no more.

Reception

''Sify'' stated that the film "defies all logic" and "The director?s desire for experimentation and the urge to break moulds blow up on his face as he has no proper script". ''Behindwoods'' wrote "Adhe Neram Adhe Idam is an effort that has missed its mark by quite some distance. The jaded narration, monotonous pace and lack of emotion will be the major factors that work against it." ''Rediff'' wrote "The real blame for such slipshod work must undoubtedly rest with the director, though this could easily have been a taut, superbly crafted emotional thriller. Instead, there's a serious dearth of logic, completely senseless characterisation and a climax that leaves you as puzzled as amused." ''Times of India'' wrote that "interestin plot that suffers from a lack of depth."
