In reality, Siva is a courier deliveryman and Sakthi a radio jockey. When they learn of each other's deception, they swear to get revenge on each other. A series of humorous incidents happen as Siva teases Sakthi live on her radio show and gets her in trouble with her father; and she retaliates by tattling on him to his family and using him as a driver. When Siva defeats a handful of goons in a tough fight to save Sakthi's brother Shanmugam ([[Sathyan (Tamil actor)|Sathyan]]) and helps organize his marriage, Sakthi develops genuine feelings for him.

When Siva defeats a handful of goons in a tough fight to save Sakthi's brother Shanmugam and helps organise his marriage, Sakthi develops genuine feelings for him.


Sakthi reveals her feelings by planning a surprise birthday party for Siva but learns that he had lied about his birth date. Humiliated in front of his family, she leaves angry and bitter. Siva learns of her true feelings for him and attempts to reconcile with her, but she ignores him. Siva grows upset as well, fights with his mother and sister, and continuously destroys Vivek's new mobile phones, but everyone eventually forgives him. However at one point when he visits her office, he is drunk and misbehaves with the people around. He tells Sakthi's assistant to call Sakthi, but the latter, enraged upon Siva's behavior, sends a man to beat him up and throw him out. Siva loses all his love and care for Sakthi.

Sometime later, Sakthi's father arranges for her to meet a prospective groom Arun ([[Arya (actor)|Arya]]). Siva coincidentally runs into Arun and is introduced as Sakthi's "close friend". He proceeds to tell Arun about all her good qualities, never mentioning anything negative. Sakthi, realising his true love, leaves Arun and asks Siva to marry her. He is still angry about the time she sent a man to beat him up and because he believed she accepted Arun. She apologises and Siva forgives, but he asks her to go to a nearby temple where they can get married the next day. She visits the temple early the next day, but Siva does not visit, calling her up and saying that he "refuses" to marry her. Disappointed, Sakthi returns hom but sees that Siva organized a surprise birthday party for her. The two of them make love that night. The following morning, he plays another prank on her; she realizes that he will never take any relationship seriously and runs away from him.

Some months later, Siva arrives at Sakthi's house with his family to formally ask for her hand in marriage. During this time, Sakthi faints and is revealed to be pregnant (as a result of sleeping with Siva). When both their families learn this, they humorously surround Siva and beat him up. As the credits roll, a scene set two years later reveals that Siva and Sakthi are married and have a son, to whom Siva brags about how he successfully "got the girl".

Siva Manasula Sakthi (transl. Sakthi in Siva's heart) also known by the initialism SMS, is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by debutant M. Rajesh. It stars Jiiva and newcomer Anuya Bhagwat, a student of Pune Film Institute, in the lead roles, with Santhanam, Urvashi and Sathyan appearing in supporting and Arya appearing in a cameo role.

Siva Manasula Sakthi was released on 13 February 2009. Despite initially gaining mixed reviews, it became highly successful at the box office and has since achieved cult status. The film's soundtrack by Yuvan Shankar Raja was extremely popular. The film was later remade in Telugu as Siva Manasulo Sruthi (2012).

Plot

Siva and Sakthi meet on a train from Coimbatore and strike up a friendship. Siva introduces himself as an army officer and Sakthi as an air hostess. The two part ways on arrival in Chennai, but Siva promises to meet her soon. He pays a visit to the airline company where Sakthi claimed to work, with his mother Kalyani and best friend Vivek tagging along. When asking for Sakthi, they are instead greeted by another woman with the same name. Siva realises that he has been tricked.

In reality, Siva is a courier deliveryman and Sakthi a radio jockey. When they learn of each other's deception, they swear to get revenge on each other. A series of humorous incidents happen as Siva teases Sakthi live on her radio show and gets her in trouble with her father; and she retaliates by tattling on him to his family and using him as a driver. When Siva defeats a handful of goons in a tough fight to save Sakthi's brother Shanmugam and helps organise his marriage, Sakthi develops genuine feelings for him.

Sakthi reveals her feelings by planning a surprise birthday party for Siva but learns that he had lied about his birth date. Humiliated in front of his family, she leaves angry and bitter. Siva learns of her true feelings for him and attempts to reconcile with her, but she ignores him. Siva grows upset as well, fights with his mother and sister, and continuously destroys Vivek's new mobile phones, but everyone eventually forgives him. However at one point when he visits her office, he is drunk and misbehaves with the people around. He tells Sakthi's assistant to call Sakthi, but the latter, enraged upon Siva's behaviour, sends a man to beat him up and throw him out. Siva loses all his love and care for Sakthi.

Sometime later, Sakthi's father arranges for her to meet a prospective groom Arun. Siva coincidentally runs into Arun and is introduced as Sakthi's "close friend". He proceeds to tell Arun about all her good qualities, never mentioning anything negative. Sakthi, realising his true love, leaves Arun and asks Siva to marry her. He is still angry about the time she sent a man to beat him up and because he believed she accepted Arun. She apologises and Siva forgives, but he asks her to go to a nearby temple where they can get married the next day. She visits the temple early the next day, but Siva does not visit, calling her up and saying that he "refuses" to marry her. Disappointed, Sakthi returns home but sees that Siva organised a surprise birthday party for her. The two of them make love that night. The following morning, he plays another prank on her; she realises that he will never take any relationship seriously and runs away from him.

Some months later, Siva arrives at Sakthi's house with his family to formally ask for her hand in marriage. During this time, Sakthi faints and is revealed to be pregnant (by Siva). When both their families learn this, they humorously surround Siva and beat him up. As the credits roll, a scene set two years later reveals that Siva and Sakthi are married and have a son, to whom Siva brags about how he successfully "got the girl".

Cast

Production

Siva Manasula Sakthi is the directorial debut of Rajesh, a former assistant of director S. A. Chandrasekhar and Ameer. He opted against imitating Ameer or Chandrasekhar's directing styles, but wanted his own style that would appeal to youngsters, and wrote the script of this film.[1][2]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, released on 25 January 2009, featuring 7 tracks with lyrics written by Na. Muthukumar was highly appreciated by fans and critics. The album grew in popularity, with particularly the song "Oru Kal" getting widely noticed,[3][4][5] while also garnering accolades and several awards and nominations for its composer Yuvan Shankar Raja and its lyricist Na. Muthukumar.[6][7] Yuvan had worked for 20 days on the re-recording at a state-of-the-art recording studio in Malaysia.[8] During this time, he also composed an additional song "Oru Paarvaiyil" which was added in the soundtrack.[8] The songs "Oru Kal" and "Oru Paarvaiyil" were reused in the Telugu remake Siva Manasulo Sruthi, though credits were not given.

Reception

The Times of India wrote, "On the whole, time pass when you have nothing else to do".[9] Sify wrote, "If originality and a solid screenplay isn't your top priority and you want a bit of candy floss some sentiments laced with lots of comedy, then you might dig this one".[10] Rediff wrote, "SMS has all the makings of a runaway hit with its cocktail of humour, love and the eternal man-woman conflict. But if you're a champion of women's rights, this one's not for you".[11]
