Synopsis
Arivazhagan (Sathyaraj) is a man who dreams of marrying an educated, employed girl, building a dream house of his own, and having one child. Due to a trick of his scheming orthodox grandparents, he instead finds himself married to Angala (Meena) – an illiterate rustic whose dreams are confined to marrying a swarthy man, having a dozen kids and visiting temples. Her dreams came true and Arivazhagan's dreams of a modern lifestyle are destroyed one by one. Meanwhile, Arivazhagan's friend Pazhani (Vadivelu) hoodwinks his own wife Govindamma Pazhani (Kalpana) and has many affairs. As the two men cheat on their wives, a hooker Manthara (Raasi) develops a soft spot for Sathyaraj. Eventually, Arivazhagan and Pazhani leave their family and stay at Manthara's house for a short period. In the end, Arivazhagan happily goes back to his wife

Reception
Bizhat wrote "The whole film looks like a stage play and all the characters speak lengthy dialogues, testing one's patience. In this age of technological advancement, the director V. Shekar takes us forty years back with his story and screenplay".[4] BBthots.com[5] wrote "Aalukkoru Aasai seems suspiciously like a movie that was started with only the basic premise of conflict in hand and no ideas about the resolution of the conflict. The movie sets up an interesting situation and even manages to raise some laughs along the way. But it then gets lost completely and never recovers. The director has no clue about the direction to adopt, whether with the storyline or with the characters of the main players. The result is a movie with a confusing story-line and characters that are stupid and easy to dislike".[5] Chennai Online wrote "it looked like director V. Sekhar had the potential plot to build upon his story-line and to justify his title. But it doesn't quite turn out that way! After the initial promise, the script soon loses focus, the issues get muddled, and the dreams and desires of the characters take a back seat".[6]
