Pathinaru is all about romance that fails to blossom. The subtle message it wants to convey is that falling in love is easy but there are too many obstacles in the way of true love ending in marriage. The film is under two hours, but Siva has hardly 15 to 20 minutes in the film. It looks as though he is doing a cameo. The entire focus is on the village love story.Rich industrialist (Abhishek) only daughter Indu (Madhu Shalini) falls in love with Siva (Mirchi Siva), her senior in college. Girl and boy secretly want to get married. The girl’s parents fiercely oppose the marriage. Girl’s mom asks them to read a novel Pathinaru.
As they read the novel together, in a flashback, the audiences are told about the circumstances that made the author write the autobiographical story. A boy and girl coming from different strata of society in a village milieu fall in love from their childhood.
The girl is obstinate that under any circumstances that she will only marry the boy. Fate intervenes and separates the lovers. The identity of the village lovers is revealed which forces Shiva and Indu to have a rethink about their marriage plans.
