==Plot==

The film begins with a disfigured Ramya (Sarika) living near a [[Salt evaporation pond|salt pan]] in [[Thoothukudi]]. Her father Bhavani ([[Charan Raj]]) and his henchmen then forcibly take her to the hospital in [[Chennai]]. From her hospital bed, she remembers her past.

Saravanan (Hassan) was a poor boy delivering mutton pieces throughout the city. Ramya, on the other hand, was a rich spoilt brat who is the daughter of the city bigwig Bhavani, a strict yet affectionate father. Saravanan and his three friends - Nethili Murugan ([[Soori (actor)|Soori]]), Sodhappal Sodalamuthu ([[Karthik Sabesh]]), and Ganesan (Marks) - were all from Thoothukudi and were working to make ends meet in Chennai. Ramya, who was irritated by Saravanan for no particular reason, makes fun of him and teases him on multiple occasions. She even made Saravanan believe that she was in love with him, and then the heartbroken Saravanan realized that it was all acting. Ramya felt guilty for breaking his heart, so she tried to apologize to Saravanan, but he kept avoiding her. One day, Ramya kissed Saravanan in public and confessed her love for him, and then he fell in love with her as well.

When Bhavani got to know of his daughter's love, he decided to arrange his daughter's marriage as soon as possible. Ramya took a bundle of notes and her jewellery and fled from her home. She was still an underage girl, but in seven days, she will reach the legal age of majority and be able to marry Saravanan at the registrar office. The couple, accompanied by the three friends, started travelling by bus from [[Courtallam]] to [[Thiruchendur]]. Bhavani and his henchmen eventually captured the couple in [[Kerala]] with the help of police.

Ramya then convinced her father to marry Saravanan. Bhavani changed his mind for the happiness of his daughter, and he finally accepted for the marriage. In a twist of fate, Bhavani's henchman Kasi ([[Majith]]) killed Saravanan to save his boss' honour. Ramya then jumped into her lover's funeral pyre. She was saved by the people, but the fire disfigured her face.

The film ends with Ramya returning to Thoothukudi to live with Saravanan's father, while the henchman Kasi has now become a lunatic.

==Reception==
Pavithra Srinivasan of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' gave 1.5 stars out of 5 for the film and said that the film is "nothing more than a mock-glorified attempt at recreating ''[[Kaadhal]]''". Another reviewer said, "That originality is what's missing in Kee. Mu., which comes off looking like a clone of Kaadhal. With its realism and good characterization, the film does have its positives but the similarities to Kaadhal are just too many to ignore".<ref name="rediff"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbthots.com/reviews/2008/keemu.html|title=KEE.
