Plot

The film is about Siva, who hates ‘Love’ and those who are into such relationships. Whatever may be the situation, he makes sure that they are separated. On the other hand, Pooja, a girl in Nagercoil is the opposite of Siva; she for the love as she risks anything to unite the lovers.
When Siva's sister Girija falls in love with Poorna's cousin boy, both the contrastive characters meet each other. Naturally as Siva sings ‘Eppadi Ennul Kadhal Vandhadhu’, both of them fall in love.
However, for a twist, a guy in Nagercoil commits suicide when Pooja reveals that she is in love with Siva. Now his father Annachi is infuriated with the girl and keeps killing her closer relations. As Siva comes to know about this, it is time to bash down the baddies with his fists of anger and marry her.

Reviews

Oneindia said that "On whole, Kandha Kottai lacks substantiality in both narrative and technical aspects". Behindwoods wrote that "Kandha Kottai is an interesting concept which could have been sustained for the entire length of the film. But, commercialism and action take over in the second half, robbing the film of its main theme". A review in Sify stated, "On the whole Kandha Kottai is a typical masala entertainer that is made for the youth audiences. Have fun".
