==Plot==
Deepika ([[Bhavana (actress)|Bhavana]]) is an arrogant, rich girl and the sister of local don Kasi ([[Prakash Raj]]). She is a medical college student and dictates terms at the college. In the college, she is feared by students, professors, and even the college dean. Enters Aarya ([[R. Madhavan|Madhavan]]), a final-year student who comes to Chennai Medical College from Coimbatore. A soft-spoken Aarya runs into Deepika. They give each other the cold shoulder. In a fit of rage, Deepika kidnaps Aarya's sister, but Aarya faces her challenges daringly. However, she soon falls in love with him, but he is not ready to marry a ruffian's sister. The remaining story tells us how the brother and sister put pressure on Aarya to become a rowdy so his status is equal enough as Kasi's so Aarya can marry Deepika. Meanwhile, "Snake" Babu ([[Vadivelu]]) is elected the area councilor and has a few encounters with Aarya and one with Deepika. Finally, Deepika changes her ways, and with her brother's blessings, unites with Aarya.

==Release==
The film opened to mixed reviews upon release. [[Sify]].com wrote, "Director Balasekhar has packaged ''Aarya'' keeping the ordinary viewer who loves mass movies in mind. Madhavan, Bhavana and Prakash Raj have done their bit to make it work with the viewers and provide a time-pass entertainer".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/aarya-review-tamil-14507623.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906081522/http://www.sify.com/movies/aarya-review-tamil-14507623.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2014-09-06 |title=Review |last= |first= |date= |website= www.sify.com|access-date=2020-03-23}}</ref> Behindwoods.com gave 1.5/5 saying "It lacks in tight screenplay and coherent narration".<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-06/arya-review.html | title=Aarya movie review from behindwood.com | accessdate=February 8, 2012}}</ref> Bizhat.com suggested "with more minus points than plus points, ''Aarya'' falls under the 'also ran' category", while Thiraipadam.com wrote "the weak screenplay fails to hide the silliness in its basic premise and so the film fails to engage us".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thiraipadam.com/cgi-bin/movie_review.pl?id=644&user_name=bbalaji&review_lang=english&lang=english|title=Aarya - Tamil Movie Review|website=www.thiraipadam.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://movies.bizhat.com/review_aarya.php|title=BizHat.com - Aarya Review.
