## Plot

Kamini plans to get back at her ex-lover Santhosh Srinivasan by reentering his life as the wife of his boss John Kumaramangalam alias JK. Santhosh is the creative head of a television channel called Teen TV (though it does indulge in political exposés). He is married to Savithri Duraisimaalu, and his life turns topsy-turvy when JK reinstates Kamini as the head of the TV channel, a promotion that Santhosh had anticipated for himself. Following this, Kamini starts hurling sexual harassment accusations at Santhosh.

## Critical reception

*[The Times of India](/source/The_Times_of_India)* wrote, "With so much meat, all you need is a simple, no-nonsense screenplay. However, the director changes track frequently, delving into comedy which is as crisp as yesterday's papadam left on the dining table."[10] *[The Hindu](/source/The_Hindu)* wrote, "An ably fractured screenplay leaves Indira Vizha tottering even before it can take off."[11] *[Deccan Herald](/source/Deccan_Herald)* wrote, "Indira Vizha is neither engaging nor entertaining. This risque and ribald tripe takes audiences on a peek-a-boo(b) show".[12] The New Indian Express wrote, "Rajeshwar in his earlier films had revealed a strong script sense. But here he falters".[13]
