Plot
Ganesan (Jithan Ramesh) is a happy-go-lucky youth in a village. A great admirer of actor-director T. Rajendar, he spends time with his friends, such as Soori and a few others. This is ridiculed by his father (Jayaprakash). Ganesh's life takes a turn when he comes across Sandhya (Sanchita Padukone). She is a friend of his sister, who comes on a vacation to the village. He admires her beauty and falls for her. When Ganesh gathers guts to open his heart to Sandhya, enters Valli (Suhasini), Ganesh's uncle's (Ilavarasu) daughter. Fearing that her father will get her married to a local goon named Durai (Bose Venkat), she decides to marry Ganesh. Suddenly, Sandhya falls ill, and Ganesh takes her to the hospital. He is shocked when the doctor (Prakash Raj) informs that she has pancreatic cancer and will die in a few months. Ganesh, in a bid to keep her happy until her death, marries her and comes home. Unfortunately, he incurs his father's wrath and is driven out of the house. However, a sudden twist in the plot causes the movie to end on an emotional note.

Critical reception
The Hindu wrote: "Pillaiyaar Theru Kadaisi Veedu only gives a sense of déjà vu. But the final sequences are suspenseful [sic] comes a twist to the tale. And the sudden shift to serious mode catches you unawares. Writer-director Thirumalai Kishore, a first-timer, scores with a story that's strong and narration that's reasonably intelligent." The New Indian Express wrote that "Thirumalai Kishore’s directorial debut has a clichéd storyline and loosely-scripted characters." Sify wrote that "Why did Jithan Ramesh agree to do such a lifeless and tasteless film?".

Behindwoods wrote: "Overall PTKV is a movie that was intended to be simple and straight; about family, love and sentiments".
