Plot
editBhagyanathan (Prabhu) is a crazy fan of M. G. Ramachandran and has named his son Idhayakani (Aadhi). Idhayakani is a nice guy who watches movies, plays basketball, flirts with girls like Anjali (Poorna), and has a happy family consisting of his father, loving mother Kalaiarasi (Anupama), sister, grandfather Sabapathy (Ravichandran), and grandmother Sampoornam (K. R. Vijaya). However, Thillainayagam (Suresh), Anjali's father, is a cunning minister and ruthless politician who wants to be the next CM by hook or crook. He does not approve of Idhayakanni as his future son-in-law and has an army of goondas like Paal Pandi ready to take on his enemies. How our larger than life hero wages a one-man battle against the evil minister and his henchmen forms the rest of the story.

Reception
editBehindwoods wrote "On the whole, this film that is salvaged by Suresh and Aadhi’s performance, might work for extremely patient people who like clichéd masala flicks."[6] Rediff wrote "Aadu Puli is just another masala flick that's simply not spicy enough."[7] Sify wrote "Aadu Puli is strictly for those who love their daily dose of mass masala movie masquerading as a family entertainer".[8]
