Kuruvi (Vidharth) is a man who commits small crimes. He falls in love with a girl named Krishnaveni (Sanchita Shetty) who, on finding him to be a criminal, rejects his proposal. Kuruvi's elder sister marries Krishnaveni's relative, and they become close again. Kuruvi is falsely accused of stealing the temple's jewels. He eventually kills the jewel thief and goes to jail. The movie ends with Kuruvi back in the same temple and Krishnaveni asking him to come home.
Rohit Ramachandran of Now Running rated Kollaikaran 1.5/5 calling it "a staple product from hack-haven Kollywood".[4] Sify wrote "The story may be old fashioned and remind you of 70-80?s film, but the way it has been packaged with its unexpected twists and turns is what makes it tick".[5] Behindwoods wrote "Kollaikaran manages to make a decent mark mainly because of the screenplay by director Thamizh Selvan which gets its characterisation right."[6]
