He rents a house owned by elderly couple S. V. S. Murthy ([[T. S. B. K. Moulee]]) and Jayam ([[Geetha (actress)|Geetha]]). A do-gooder, Ajay lives life with a purpose. He gets along with everyone and wins the hearts of those whom he is close with. D. "Vidya" Vidyalakshmi ([[Nithya Menen]]), a newspaper [[photojournalist]], gets acquainted with him. Ajay is the sort of person who finds satisfaction in helping others. He sponsors the education of street children with the help of Vidya, who is attracted by his good nature. Things take a turn when she tells him about her feelings. Ajay, without informing her, decides to leave the city. Meanwhile, a flashback reveals that Ajay was a doctor in [[San Francisco]], where he meets Renuka "Renu" Narayanan ([[Priya Anand]]), an [[interior designer]]. They get married only to be told months later that Ajay has [[pancreatic cancer]] and has about six months left - hence the title 180 (180 days). As Ajay is about to leave Chennai, Vidya meets with an accident and has to be operated upon. Ajay takes Vidya to San Francisco for treatment. While in San Francisco, he meets his friend [[radio jockey|RJ]] "Sam" Sambasivam ([[Sricharan]]) who asks him to meet Renu, but Ajay leaves as he sees her life happier without him. It is revealed that Ajay had faked his death to make Renu believe that he had died so that she would not suffer thinking about him every day. Now seeing her content, he decides not to meet Renu. He misses his flight to India and goes to [[Brazil]] instead. Now in [[Rio de Janeiro]], he goes by the name Jose. He is seen playing [[association football|football]], waiting for his death.

The soundtrack received positive reviews. Pavithra Srinivasan of [[Rediff]] gave the album a score of three stars out of five and quoted "Sharreth seems to be a music composer who doesn't play by the rules; he veers this way and that in his songs, which actually provides spice and makes for an interesting listening experience. Nee Korinal and AJ make for pleasant listens, while the rest offer something out of the ordinary. Go for it."<ref name="rf">{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-music-review-180/20110429.htm |title=Review: 180's music is interesting|work=[[Rediff.com]] |date=21 May 2011 |access-date=15 September 2011|last=|first=}}</ref> ''Behindwoods.com'' gave a rating of three and a half stars out of five and said that the album was "Novel and worth listening to", further citing: "The music arrangement is again different.
