Along with AR Rahman’s terrific music, which aids the ebb and flow of the narrative, and even creates magical detours out of thin air, it is the strong performances of Ravi and Nithya that makes Kadhalikka Neramillai one of the better romcoms to come in Tamil cinema in quite a while. Kadhalikka Neramillai has no qualms in embracing the urban nature of the film, and isn’t trying too hard to shake off the tag. This here is a movie that believes in itself, and doesn’t want to incorporate elements to cater to a wider audience. In fact, this attempt respects all sections of the audience more than those films that are altered to suit various sensibilities. The movie is glossy, but never to a fault.Read at source

Shriya, desiring motherhood, decides to undergo In vitro fertilisation (IVF) with the support of her cousin, Ashwini. This decision leads to a rift with her mother, who disowns her. Meanwhile, in Bengaluru, structural engineer Siddharth "Sid" is in a relationship with model Nirupama. After a stressful work period, Sid, along with friends Sethuraman "Sethu" and Gowda, decide to freeze their sperm. Sid provides a pseudonym, P. James, and incorrect contact information to maintain anonymity. A mix-up at the hospital leads to Sid's sperm being used for IVF. Unbeknownst to Sid, his sperm is used to impregnate Shriya. As Sid's relationship with Nirupama becomes strained due to his reluctance to have children, while Shriya becomes curious about her sperm donor, P. James. With Ashwini's help, she tracks down the donor's details and travels to Bengaluru. At a seminar, Sid is impressed by Shriya, unaware of their connection. Later, Shriya meets Sid and his friends while searching for P. James. As they grow closer, Shriya leaves instantly, returning to Chennai. Shriya soon gives birth to a baby boy.
