Kadhal Kondein

Kaadhal Kondein deals with the story of a youth who is mentally and physically abused as a child. Vinod (Dhanush) has grown up in a church where the Father has looked after him. He has always lost people he loved the most. Throughout his childhood the absence of his mother had troubled him. As he grows up he is compelled to attend college for further studies. But he is a complete misfit there. He finds a friend in Divya (Sonia) although the rest of the class ostracizes him. Vinod soon falls in love with Divya but he also feels that Divya does not consider him any more than just a friend. He also comes to know that Divya is in love with Aadhi (Sudip).

On the other hand Divya`s father is furious with her relationship with Aadhi. He locks her up in a room. Vinod, however, arrives at her house and succeeds to meet her on the pretext of borrowing some old clothes for himself. Taking pity on his condition Divya`s father allows him to meet her. Vinod utilizes this opportunity to free Divya from her confinement. He also triumphs in convincing her that she will be able to meet Aadhi as well at Ooty.

Vinod, however, has completely different plans for Divya. He has planned to win her heart over once they are in Ooty. Vinod takes Divya to a secret place and make s her stay with him. In the meantime he keeps on convincing her that Aadhi would definitely come. During their stay Divya comes to know about the Vinod`s unhappy past. He narrates the story of how he worked as a paid labourer and how he revolted against the oppressors. He was severely beaten for his audacity. He also loses his girlfriend as she is killed by her rapists. He barely managed to escape from the inferno and took shelter in the church with the Father. Divya is moved to tears by such horrendous string of events.
