Can pursuing your passion for arts push you to disappointment, insanity or make you a victim of discrimination? If you think passion can ensconce you in a glorious and resplendent world, then think again! The rosy dreams might lead to disillusionment in the world driven by IT/BPO industries, says Katradhu Tamil - Tamil M.A.

The film, which takes you through the journey of protagonist Prabhakaran (Jeeva) portrays an appalling reality. Prabhakaran is a post-graduate in Tamil, who expresses great love for the language and is firm in pursuing his dream. Jeered for being a Tamil teacher who earns a mere Rs 2,000 a month, he finds solace in his childhood sweetheart Anandhi (Anjali). But fate has many unpleasant turns in store for him.
His interaction with a friend who earns Rs 2 lakh in the IT industry brings out the inequities existing in the system.

Poverty-stricken Anandhi is forced into prostitution. The hero loses track of her, which adds to frustration and makes him insane.
A pot-pourri of art and commercial elements, Katradhu Tamil tries to touch upon different social issues, especially the divide between the haves and have-nots . The director has also meticulously worked on the discrimination plaguing IT world.

Jeeva captivates the audience. His facile expressions give a natural touch to the character as he has worked his movements with precision. New entrant Anjali acts with ease. Though the convoluted script and inconsistency in the pace test your patience, it is the charm of both Jeeva and Anjali that help you sit through the movie. Amazing cinematography by Ramji and enchanting music by Yuvan Shankar Raja also keep you glued.
Though the director has put in great efforts to weave a strong theme into a commercial movie, he fails in conveying his message. A must watch for Tamil lovers.
