Utharavathi, who is down on luck, turns to a seer, who advises him to steal a bike to change his fortunes. This leads to an accident that involves Varahi, the titular piglet that is also connected to the life of Thittani. While Utharavathi and his motley group of friends (Thangadurai, Ramar and Singampuli) want to get hold of Varahi to recreate that accident, Thittani has to safeguard Varahi to ensure his upcoming marriage isn’t jeopardised.
Karunakaran has done a very good job playing the lead role, and has a full-length role to play. The actor proves that he can take over such roles and play them effortlessly. Ramar has a good part to play too. Yogi Babu is unlike much of the roles he has done, and has a very controlled outing here.
