The film, Velayilla Pattathari revolves around Raghuvaran, a jobless engineering graduate who is particular about landing a job in the field of his interest. The film gradually develops following Raghuvaran’s personal and emotional redemption after losing his mother.
The movie, with its peculiarity and a touch of Dhanush’s signature style, soared to the top. The scene in which Dhanush sincerely rants about his struggles from going to tuition to clearing arrears as he speaks about the difficulty in landing a job to the villain, was regarded to be a perfect mass shot. This rib-tickling scene where he spoke for three minutes without pausing to breathe, resonated with the audience.

When each hero has their way of defining their popularity, Dhanush’s un-mass-y mass vibe made him stand apart from others as he mostly remained as the modest boy next door with struggles whom the fans can relate to.
