Plot
Ajay, an educated youth comes to Chennai from his hometown, Theni to take up a job. Anjali, a photographer from London is also in the city to capture South Indian culture on camera. The duo are deceived by Narayanan, a real estate broker, who rents out unoccupied houses without informing the house owners. Ajay and Anjali pay the rental money to Narayanan and end up signing the same house. Unable to find another house to rent, the duo decide to stay together, till they find Narayanan. They squabble and argue a lot, but soon Ajay falls in love with Anjali. However, he does not reveal to her of his feelings. After taking her on a trip to Theni, he realises that she does not reciprocate his feelings, leaving him depressed.
Soon, Ajay tracks down Narayanan, who he met in a chance encounter earlier, where Ajay pockets Narayanan's address from his wallet, and blames him for the misery in his life, because it was Narayanan's trickery that brought them together and now, Ajay cannot live without her love. Narayanan decides to help Ajay and he visits the house, under the pretense of being Ajay's friend, Billa Senthil. He tries to make Anjali fall for Ajay. Anjali's fiancé, Deepak then gives Anjali a surprise visit, just as when she begins to enjoy Ajay's company. Narayanan continues to try to getting Ajay and Anjali together, with no success.
On the night of Anjali's birthday, Ajay decides that she will never love him, and resorts to drinking, after being depressed. Meanwhile, Anjali realises that she loves Ajay, but is angry at his behaviour under the influence of alcohol. The next day, she goes to the wedding of Ajay's colleague as his wife, due to the fact that his colleagues think she is his wife and looks for him there. Just when they find each other and are about to confess their feelings for one another, Narayanan speaks on the phone with some new tenants. When he jokingly offers Ajay a cut of the deal, Anjali misunderstands Ajay as a fraudster, assuming that he also was in Narayanan's house plot. Anguished, Anjali berates them and leaves the wedding hall, while Ajay looks on in guilt.
Three months later, Anjali has returned to London and wins her photography contest. Deepak tells her that Narayanan had told him everything from scratch, and that Ajay is innocent. He convinces her that she loves Ajay and vice versa, as she did not hesitate to visit Theni or act as Ajay's wife despite being engaged to Deepak. Anjali comes back to their apartment, and looks for Ajay, but does not find him. At the same moment, Ajay opens the door and finds his passport that he was looking for. Anjali meets him at last and is initially upset at him. She asks him why he did not come to woo her for the last three months in London. Ajay tells her that he had just received his passport and was planning to leave for the airport. As the two hug and reconcile, Narayanan enters with a prospective victim to trick, and takes his money. Ajay and Anjali stop Narayanan and punch him.

Production
Vanakkam Chennai is the directorial debut of Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi. After she completed the script, she had no intention of directing it and approached other directors, but none accepted. On the encouragement of M. Rajesh, she herself decided to direct. Kiruthiga's husband Udhayanidhi produced the film and also helped improvise the script. Sunaina was initially to play the lead female role which went to Priya Anand. Cinematography was handled by Richard M. Nathan, and editing by T. S. Suresh. Principal photography began on 1 February 2013 at ECR, Chennai. As of May, filming was taking place in Munnar. The film's final schedule began in July 2013 in Chennai, and would be completed in 10 days. Responding to criticism that the film was plagiarised from the 1955 film Missamma, Kiruthiga denied them as rumours, saying the story of Vanakkam Chennai was something she developed during her college days. The music video for "Chennai City Gangsta" includes stop motion animation, which was created by Idea Heavens Studio.: 2:48
Soundtrack
The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander. He signed on the project in 2012, and described it as a "fun" and "youthful" album that would appeal to urban audiences. The song "Oh Penne" marks the Tamil debut of Bollywood singer Vishal Dadlani. An alternate version of the song was also produced, sung by British Sri Lankan musicians Charles Bosco and Arjun. Assamese singer Papon sang the song "Hey", recorded in late June 2013. The song "Engadi Porandha" was sung by Andrea Jeremiah and Anirudh; their lines were recorded separately as Anirudh was in Mumbai for the album mix when Andrea recorded her vocals. "Chennai City Gangsta", described by Anirudh as a "rave party track", includes vocals by Adhi of Hiphop Tamizha, and Punjabi rapper Hard Kaur. Adhi had earlier collaborated with Anirudh for the title track of Ethir Neechal (2013), and described "Chennai City Gangsta" as a thematic follow-up to that song. There were no rehearsals for the song. It serves as a tribute to the city of Chennai and its culture. The tracklist, featuring only the song names, was unveiled in mid-June 2013. The upgraded tracklist featuring the singer names was released a month later.
The audio rights were purchased by Sony Music India, and the audio was launched on 27 July at Suryan FM 93.5. Vipin of Music Aloud summarised "It is indeed a hat-trick of winners in Tamil for Anirudh Ravichander , with Vanakkam Chennai. Must-hear soundtrack!", giving 8.5 out of 10. Karthik of Milliblog wrote "Vanakkam Chennai is an interesting soundtrack, but has Anirudh's past catching up too early in his career". Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Times of India rated the entire album 3.5 out of 5. He appreciated "Hey" for its "groovy" vocals and believed it was "sure to have people dancing thanks to the beats", and also appreciated the rustic tone of "Osaka", deviating from Anirudh's usual westernised and techno songs. He was however critical of "Engadi Porandha", but said both versions of "Oh Penne" make up for it, and also appreciated the "melodious" song "Ailasa" and "high-on-energy" song "Chennai City Gangsta".
Release
Vanakkam Chennai was released worldwide on 11 October 2013, in Dolby Atmos.
= Critical reception
=M Suganth of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5, saying it "it is slick and enjoyable to an extent but also predictable. In fact, most of the time, it is Anirudh's background score that keeps reminding us that this is a romance as well as a comedy". S Saraswathi of Rediff.com said, "Vanakkam Chennai is a fun-filled, but slow paced romantic film that does not boast of a great or original storyline. But there is simplicity and charm in the characters. And the great music certainly keeps you entertained." Prashanth Reddy of Desimartini said, "Anirudh's music is a huge positive and I can't seem to get a few of the background tunes out of my head. Priya Anand looks utterly gorgeous in every frame. But "Vanakkam Chennai" is still just an okay-ish Rom-com that is hard to hate. It does very little to reinvigorate a stagnant genre. Also, it should have avoided using Santhanam."
Writing for The Hindu, Baradwaj Rangan said, "Seeing Vanakkam Chennai is to be reminded of how stupidly happy a light-hearted love story can make us feel. Scenes that have no business working — like one involving Holi colours — make us smile, and that's a sign that we are involved with these characters, that we want them to realise, soon, that they need to get on with the business of being with each other", calling it a "low-key bliss-out for the most part". Sify said, "The film has nothing new to offer but is still enjoyable due to its glossy packaging, rich visuals and lots of fun. It's a charming film made with heart. Give it a chance, you won't be disappointed." Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote, "Sweet and warm at places, the film is a monotonous journey on the whole. Offering nothing exciting or novel in either its plot or presentation, it's at best a stepping stone for a debutant maker".
