In 1991, the Tamil film industry saw the release of the movie Gopura Vasalile, starring Karthik, Bhanupriya, and Suchitra in pivotal roles. Directed by Priyadarshan, the movie features a blend of romance, comedy, and drama and revolves around the lives of a wealthy businessman, his daughter, and a young man who makes a living by performing street plays.

The story begins with Chitrasen (Karthik), a talented street play performer who lives with his mother and sister. Despite being financially unstable, Chitrasen is content with his life and continues to pursue his passion for acting. One day, he meets Lavanya (Bhanupriya), the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and falls in love with her at first sight. However, Lavanya is engaged to be married to another man chosen by her father.

Meanwhile, Lavanya’s father discovers irregularities in his accounts and suspects that his accountant, Rajasekhar (Nagesh), is responsible. To get to the bottom of the matter, he appoints an investigator, Kumar (Janagaraj), who poses as a driver and enters the household. Kumar soon discovers that the real culprit is Lavanya’s fiancé, Nambirajan (Akash Khurana), who has been siphoning off funds from the company.

As Kumar tries to gather evidence, Chitrasen continues to woo Lavanya with his street plays and poetic verses. Despite her initial reluctance, Lavanya eventually falls in love with Chitrasen and expresses her feelings to him. However, their happiness is short-lived as Lavanya’s father arranges for her wedding with Nambirajan.

As the wedding day approaches, Kumar calls a meeting between Lavanya’s father, Chitrasen, and Rajasekhar, where he presents the evidence against Nambirajan. The wedding is halted, and Nambirajan is arrested. Lavanya’s father realizes his mistake and apologizes to Lavanya and Chitrasen. The movie ends with the couple getting married and living happily ever after.

The romantic scenes between Karthik and Bhanupriya are sweet and provide a refreshing break from the other dramatic elements of the movie. The climax, with its unexpected twist, keeps the audience engaged until the very end.

The performances of the lead actors are noteworthy, with Karthik stealing the show with his portrayal of the street play performer. He brings an effortless charm to his character and manages to keep the audience engaged with his acting.
