Madhavan plays Karthik, a nice middle-class guy. He sees Shakti (Shalini) at a wedding and likes her right away. Shakti is brilliant and studies hard. Her low-income family works hard to pay for her education so she can have a better life. Shakti doesn't easily fall for Karthik's looks and charm, but after some typical movie stalking, she starts to like him. They see each other around town and look at each other on trains, and Karthik finds ways to be near her. They both like each other but also think about what's practical. Shakti fears being forced to marry someone else, so she and Karthik decide to marry secretly. But their secret gets out. They must leave their homes and move into an unfinished apartment to start their life together. This is when the story gets more interesting. The couple struggles. They are both used to getting their way and being special in their families. Now they have to deal with someone else who is also strong and wants their own way. Shakti will not give up her dream of being a doctor, and Karthik wants to succeed in his IT business. Their relationship gets worse, and they argue and become silent. The unfinished apartment seems like a good symbol for their rushed life. Things get bad when Shakti doesn't meet Karthik at the train station, and he thinks she has left him. Madhavan shows Karthik's bad sides, like his arrogance and selfishness. Shalini plays Shakti as a girl stuck between her traditional upbringing, her career goals, and her love for Karthik. She is sometimes selfish, moody, funny, and loving, which makes her feel real. Overall, Alaipayuthe is a classic that you should not miss!
