The film, which takes inspiration from the 1993 Hollywood film Judgment Night, follows the journey of four young men who travel from Chennai to Hyderabad to watch a cricket match. Due to a road accident, they are forced to take a diversion off the main road in order to arrive on time, which, however, leads them to a gang who have kidnapped a young schoolgirl, Saroja, the only daughter of a rich millionaire. The film was released on 5 September 2008 to very positive reviews and critically acclaim, while also emerging a high commercial success. Upon release, it was dubbed into Telugu.
Matilda D’ Silva, who sang the song "Cheeky Cheeky" in the film with Yuvan Shankar Raja and Nirdhiya, was a contestant on the reality show Singapore Idol. Saroja also featured a promotional song, an English track written and composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and sung by Tanvi Shah.
