Plot

Ganesh arrives from Madurai to continue his medical course in Chennai. Srimathy is Ganesh's professor's daughter, who wants to meet Ganesh and thank him for helping her escape from the clutches of goons. When Ganesh and Srimathy meet, they are surprised as they already know each other, which leads to Ganesh and Srimathy's past.

Past: Eswari is an arrogant moneylender who lends money at usurious rates and goes after families who fail to repay. Srimathy's family falls afoul of Eswari, where Ganesh helps Srimathy's folks. Eswari falls for Ganesh's bravery and proposes to him, but he rejects her. Eswari kidnaps Ganesh's parents and threatens him to accept her, but Ganesh thwarts all her plans. Eswari angrily tries to kill Ganesh, but accidentally dies in a mishap. Eswari's brothers Periya Karuppu and Chinna Karuppu assume Ganesh and Srimathy to be the reason for their sister's death, where they resolve to kill him.

Present: Chinna Karuppu learns that Ganesh and Srimathy are in Chennai and confronts him. Ganesh defeats Chinna Karuppu, who falls down from a building despite Ganesh trying to save him. Periya Karuppu confronts Ganesh and Srimathy, but Ganesh defeats them and reveals about his efforts to save Chinna Karuppu and Eshwari, where he tells Periya Karuppu to reform himself.

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "A promising effort by the director, which however falls short of the entertainment value of Vishal's earlier film Sandakozhi."[8] Behindwoods wrote "If you are looking for the Sandakozhi effect again with Vishal, do not miss Thimiru. Vishal probably feels he fits the bill of the ‘angry young man’ perfectly."[9] Rajaraman. R of Nowrunning wrote "After giving a good hit in Sandakozhi, Vishal has scored a hattrick with this movie. Thimiru is a thorough entertainer with gripping fight sequences and excellent screenplay."[10] Indiaglitz wrote "An action-packed entertainer with the right mix of commercial ingredients, Thimiru is one for the frontbenchers (and the box office)."[11]
