tappu player, is attracted to oppari singer Raakamma, but his act of helping a friend’s romance threatens to take her away from him. Updating the classic Thillana Mohanambal premise of individuals in similar professions falling in love with each other, Barathi Balakumaran presents an old-fashioned romance done the old-fashioned way with Vizha. If the hero in the earlier film is a nadaswaram vidwan, here, he is a tappu player, who performs at funeral houses. The heroine is an oppari singer (in the older film, she is a Bharatanatyam dancer), and the ‘saavu veedu’ is their meeting place. We have had a few films based on this idea even earlier (Karagattakaran and Sangamam did it in the late 80s and 90s respectively), and Vizha feels like an adaptation for this generation. Tappu player Sundaram (Mahendran) is attracted to Raakamma (Malavika), the young oppari singer, and she too reciprocates his love. When he helps his friend Pandidurai, who is a foreign return and the heir to the stuck-up local bigwig Bakkiyammal, get married to his childhood sweetheart, Bakkiyammal tries to get her revenge by arranging a match for Raakamma with Manimaran (Yugendran), who works for her, and sending her goons after Sundaram. However, the good-hearted Manimaran offers refuge to Sundaram, and the lovers are left in a dilemma — should they stop the planned marriage or tell the truth to Manimaran?
