The film, a partial remake of the 2002 Malayalam film, Nandanam, released on 25
February 2011 to mixed reviews.[2][3] This film was dubbed in Telugu as
Mahalakshmi.[4]
Plot
In a dream, she finds herself at her wedding with an unknown man. The next day that
man comes to the house. He is none other than Amritavalli's own grandson Mano
Ramalingam. He falls in love with Maha. Maha, though hesitant at first, finds
herself in love with him as well. Mano constantly assures Maha that his mother will
arrange marriage. However, as fate has it, Mano is afraid to admit to his mother
Thangam that he is in love. This encourages Thangam to fix his marriage with her
childhood friend's daughter. However, when Thangam learns of the love affair, she
is helpless, and all she is able to do is encourage the lovebirds to forget each
other. Soon, everyone (except Amritavalli, Thangam and Mano) treats Maha as a
servant, not a family member. Maha, angry, claims to Lord Murugan that she will not
face ever again.
Enters Saravanan, who enters as a cook appointed by Madhava Gounder. Everyone finds
Saravanan's cooking awesome. However, Maha disapproves as cooking was her only
peaceful hobby in the house after she fell in Love. Saravanan is told to stay in
the guest house where Gumbidiswamy is staying. Gumbidiswamy is a fraud and is now
trying to pass as a swami. For this reason, he has stayed at their house. It did
not take Saravanan long to realize that Gumbidiswamy is a fraud, and he used this
to blackmail him. Having this control over Gumbidiswamy, Saravanan tells him to
tell everyone that according to background and religious research, Mano and his
fiancee are not suitable for each other.
After doing many things such as this, Saravanan is able to unite Maha and Mano.
Thangam and Amritavalli agree to let Mano marry Maha. Maha and Mano (on the day of
their wedding) search for Saravanan to thank him for his help. Instead of
Saravanan, another person comes and says he is the only Saravanan around the area.
Disappointed, Maha goes to Murugan's Altar to pray and there she sees Saravanan. He
soon fades away. At that point, Maha understood that Saravanan was Murugan himself.
The film ends with a message that god may come down to earth in a human form to
help those in need.

Production
In early 2003, Sibi Sathyaraj was set to make his acting debut through Swami, the
Tamil remake of the Malayalam film Nandanam (2003), directed by Renjith. Navya Nair
was cast as the lead actress and A. R. Rahman was considered as the music composer,
in the film to be produced by Swargachitra Appachan. However, despite beginning
pre-production work, the film was later dropped.[5]
Music
Rohit Ramachandran of nowrunning.com gave it 3/5 stars stating that "Seedan spirals
downward and falls flat on its face."[6] The Times of India gave the film three out
of five stars and wrote that "Though Subramaniam Siva meanders in the first half by
making substantial changes in the original, he displays a much better grip in the
second, which makes the movie an enjoyable watch".[7]
