As more and more films of late have been set against urban backdrop, narrating the stories of people in cities, hardly do we come across the innocence and virtue associated with the lives in villages. Arun Chidambaram’s Kanavu Variyam has several instances which take audience back to the foregone uncorrupted rural life, leaving a feeling of nostalgia. The flawless beauty of landscapes, people with not-so-harmless jealousy and insecurity, righteousness in relationships, etc, are enough to crave for a village life.
Ezhil (Arun) has always been curious about everything in the universe since childhood, and science fascinated him the most. He had a penchant for electronic products and loved learning the technicalities associated with it. As years passed by, his curiosity, too, grew up with him. Despite running a small electronic repair shop, he aspires to study more and do scientific experiments. His friend (Black Pandi) accompanies him always and lends support for all his dreams. Ezhil's father (Ilavarasu), too, encourages him and is the protective force at home, unlike his mother who often criticises him for the 'weird experiments'.
