Ninaithale Inikkum 2009

Shivaram alias Shiva returns to the college to reunite with his friends for a college reunion. With his eyes sparkling with nostalgic memories, he takes a trip down memory lane, and reminisces about his college days which forms the crux of the story.

Shiva is an energetic, enthusiastic college student. Being short-tempered, he gets easily provoked by the rich and proud Vasu and his arrogance, leading to many fights between the two. Their fights are often stopped by Shakthi. Shakthi strives to bring Shiva and Vasu together on friendly terms, but in vain. Shiva, Shakthi, and their faithful friend Bala (Vishnupriyan) stay together through thick and thin and are always ready to voice out their views on behalf of those who stay in the hostel in the college.

Shakthi’s father Pazhaniyappan often visits his son in the hostel and is seen as a father to all of Shakthi’s friends. Meera, the daughter of an MLA, nurtures a soft corner for Shiva. She is brave enough to stand up to him and pacify him when he throws unnecessary tantrums. Shalee, Meera’s friend, is a shy, reserved Muslim girl who comes from an orthodox family background. She is often preoccupied with her own thoughts. Karthik is a total showoff who fails to humiliate Shiva and Shakthi and ends up making a fool of himself.

At the reunion, the friends are happy to see each other after eight long years. However, they are burdened by the tragic death of Shakthi; Shiva seems to be the most affected of them all. All seems well until Shiva is found almost strangled to death. Everyone suspects Vasu, though Shakthi’s father discovers that the murder was attempted by Shalee.

In a flashback, it is revealed that Shakthi and Shalee were in love. Shalee revealed that Shiva, who was running away from the police after breaking into an election booth, accidentally killed Shakthi after mistaking him for someone else, with chloroform as the latter suffered from asthma. Shalee is upset that Shakthi’s father prevented her from taking revenge against Shiva.

Shiva recovers and seeks forgiveness from Shakthi’s father. Shakthi’s father forgives Shiva and requests him to marry Meera, who has been waiting for him over those eight years. Vasu also apologizes to Shiva for all of his antics in college. Shakthi’s parents adopt Shalee, whose family has died, and decide to take her in as their own. The film ends as Shalee bids farewell to her friends and to the image of Shakthi, who is forever present on the college campus.

Never forget the sweet memories that happened in college.
