India Pakistan is a story of how two young advocates Karthik ([[Vijay Antony]]) and Melina ([[Sushma Raj]]) counter many fights and fun together. Living in rented rooms in the same building, they lock up each other, fight, hide in each other's study, and sneak out of each other's cases, trying to prove they are a better advocate than the other. They travel from place to place, regarding a village dispute case. In the end, Melina decides to encounter the villain for the sake of two young lovers of the village. Karthik and his friends save her by playing a tactful game with the villain, who claims a DVD in which an encounter is shot.

==Critical reception==
[[The Hindu]]'s [[Baradwaj Rangan]] wrote, "'' India Pakistan'' is one of those not-so-bad films, thanks to solid contributions by M.S. Baskar...and Manobala...I wished we’d seen more of them and less of the lazy comedy track written around Jagan. N. Anand has a knack for the absurd. I’d be interested in watching a pure comedy by him — but please, nothing more than a couple of hours".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/india-pakistan-a-notsobad-comedy/article7185540.ece |title=India Pakistan: A not-so-bad comedy |newspaper=[[The Hindu]] |date=2015-05-08 |accessdate=2016-04-07}}</ref> [[The Times of India]] gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "'' India Pakistan'' is the kind of film that you might not feel compelled to watch, but if you do catch it, you might not mind it. It is unremarkable in every way with its share of problems but still manages to be a mildly diverting entertainer".<ref>{{cite web|author= |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/India-Pakistan/movie-review/47208036.cms |title=India Pakistan Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India |website=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |date=2015-05-08 |accessdate=2016-04-07}}</ref> [[The New Indian Express]] wrote, "Stronger in content than style, ''India Pakistan'', is ideal summer fare. It strikes the right chord for the most part and is one of the better comic capers to appear in recent times".<ref>{{cite news|last=Mannath |first=Malini |url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/India-Pakistan-Review-Strong-in-Content-Than-Style-Its-a-Good-Comic-Caper/2015/05/10/article2806661.ece |title=India Pakistan Review: Strong in Content Than Style, It's a Good Comic Caper |newspaper=[[The New Indian Express]] |date=2015-05-10 |accessdate=2016-04-07}}</ref> [[Sify]] wrote, "Director Anand has made ''India Pakistan'' in such a way that the film is highly entertaining and it happens mainly because of the characterization and dialogue deliveries of both MS Baskar and Pasupathy who rocks big time", going on to label it "a pucca commercial comedy entertainer which is tailor-made for family audiences".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/india-pakistan-comedy-entertainer-review-tamil-pfirI7fefecaf.html |title=Review: India Pakistan |website=Sify.com |date= |accessdate=2016-04-07}}</ref>

'Southern Cinema Leaks' gave 3 stars out of 5 and stated, "'' India Pakistan'' is a masala romantic-comedy movie, also attempted to make the thrilling experience over the course of this movie. Vijay Antony and debutant Sushma Raj are done best performances that they can do for such a script. Pasupathy and M.S.Bhaskar are perfectly fit for their roles. So, anything that could have been to make this flick much better that should have been done by the director, N.Anand, who failed to keep the momentum".<ref>{{cite web|title= India Pakistan 2015 Tamil Movie Review|url=http://southernspiceleaks.blogspot.com/2015/06/india-pakistan-2015-tamil-movie-review.html|website=Southern Cinema Leaks|accessdate=1 June 2015}}</ref> [[Bangalore Mirror]] wrote, "The film is indeed a breezily funny rom-com and the first time filmmaker has served it plateful, most of the scenes being enjoyable most of the time", rating it 3 out of 5.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bangaloremirror.com/entertainment/reviews/Movie-Review-India-Pakistan/articleshow/47216952.cms |title=Movie Review: India Pakistan |newspaper=[[Bangalore Mirror]] |date=2015-05-09 |accessdate=2016-04-07}}</ref>
