Ivan Yarendru Therikiratha is a 2017 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy drama film directed by Suresh Kumar, a former assistant of Suseenthiran.[1] The film stars television actor Vishnu, Varsha Bollamma, and Ishaara Nair in the lead roles. This film marks the lead debut of Vishnu.
Arivu (Vishnu) graduates from college and hangs out with his friends (Arjunan and Rajkumar). His father (Jayaprakash) is very fond of him. Naive Arivu is used by both his friends for their love interests and gets in trouble for his irresponsible acts with his friends. His friends have girlfriends while Arivu is all by himself. On Valentines Day, Arivu challenges his friends that he can find a girlfriend after both of his friends tease him. He remembers his college classmate, Priya (Ishaara Nair), and goes in search of her. Much to his disappointment, she is married and bears kids. He later meets a sub-inspector of police, Savithri (Varsha Bollamma). Whether or not she falls in love with him forms the crux of the story.
Vishnu, Varsha Bollamma, and Ishaara Nair were signed to feature in a film helmed by debutante Suresh Kumar. Veteran actor K. Bhagyaraj was signed to portray the character of a love guru. The film's title is derived from a song from Vishwaroopam (2013).[2]
The songs were composed by N. R. Raghunanthan.[3]

Maalai Malar wrote that director Sureshkumar has tried to mix love and comedy in his first film; the first half of the film is very slow, but the second half is very lively. He made an entertaining film that people can watch as a family.[5] Ananda Vikatan gave the film a more unfavourable review and wrote that Sureshkumar has a lot of talent as shown by the beginning and ending of the film but criticized the middle part of the film.[6]
