Screenplay

Aravindan (Vijay), Chandru (Suriya), and Krishnamurthy (Ramesh Khanna) value friendship over everything else, even family. For this reason, Chandru resists the advances of Aravindan's sister Amutha (Vijayalakshmi). When the trio takes up a painter's job at a mansion, Aravindan falls in love with Padmini (Devayani), who lives there. Padmini's jealous cousin Abhirami (Abhinayashree) makes him believe his overtures are reciprocated. When the truth is revealed and Padmini rejects him outright, Chandru stands up for his friend and speaks ill of her. This makes her swear to separate the friends. After the marriage, Aravindan realises the hand of Abhirami behind all the mishaps, and Padmini too realises Chandru is innocent. Then Chandru and Amutha's marriage is arranged. Gautham (Sriman) is Aravindan's cousin who is in love with Amutha from his young age. He wants to separate the pair and makes Chandru believe Padmini is trying to kill Amutha. Padmini is angry with Chandru. At last, Aravindan tells the truth that in their young ages, he unknowingly killed Chandru's deaf and mute brother. Gautham records this and makes Chandru hear this. Chandru and Aravindan fight and go by their ways. Aravindan tries to convince Chandru but falls from the top of a mountain. Chandru believes Aravindan is dead and feels very much for him. But after 5 years, he comes to meet Aravindan's family, only to find out that Aravindan is not dead, but has ended up in coma as a result of the mountain fall. Gautham is now torturing his family a lot. When he comes to know that Chandru has come back, he starts to beat him up. After hearing Chandru's cry of pain, Aravindan wakes up from his coma. He beats up Gautham, and everyone rejoins and lives happily.

The film received highly positive reviews from critics upon release in 2001.Bizhat stated "Friends is an engaging entertainer with the first part moving at a fast pace with ribtickling humour and slapstick comedy thrown in. The second half moves with the smooth transition and an effective climax and stated Vijay acting was brilliant in handling the emotional part of the movie while Surya who initially fits in the silent character struggles in emotional scenes.Balaji B wrote: "The premise and story line of the movie is strong and the movie is completely effective due to the hilarious comedy handled by director Siddique in the first half and sentiments in the second half.
