The film is about Siva, who hates love and those who are into such relationships, and even strives to separate couples. On the other hand, Pooja, a girl in Nagercoil, is the opposite of Siva, and takes risks to unite lovers. When Siva's sister Girija falls in love with Poorna's cousin, the two dissimilar characters meet. And when Siva sings Eppadi Ennul Kadhal Vandhadhu, they fall in love.

Reviews
Oneindia said that "On whole, Kandha Kottai lacks substantiality in both narrative and technical aspects".[4] 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".[5] A review in Sify stated, "On the whole Kandha Kottai is a typical masala entertainer that is made for the youth audiences. Have fun".[6]
