``Polladhavan`` is a mixture of all the genres including action, romance and humor. Dhanush plays Prabhu, a youth from a lower middle class family with dreams and aspirations to make it big in life. He eventually succeeds in realising his dreams. But soon things take a turn for the worse. How he fights against all odds is the crux of the story.

Vasu, a prankster, whiles away his time teasing girls and getting scolded by his father. But when one of his pranks results in his brother getting jailed, he decides to turn over a new leaf. Vasu belongs to a lower-middle-class family and is irresponsible and untrustworthy. Viji is from a Telugu traditional family and is an ambitious and career-oriented girl. Vasu and Viji meet up and one day, Vasu follows her on her two wheeler. She is so bugged by him that she fails to notice a vehicle ahead. Though he cautions her, she ends up having an accident. Vasu admits her in the hospital, but Viji holds him responsible for her accident. Both of them are at loggerheads and bicker constantly. Vasu leaves for Chennai in order to prove himself to his father, who is constantly criticising his irresponsibility. Meanwhile, Viji gets a job at Chennai and moves into the same apartment complex as Vasu. The rest of the story follows Vasu's progress and deals with relationship between Vasu and Viji and whether or not their attitude for each other changed. Viji falls in love with Vasu but for a reason he acts to hate her is because she made him and his whole family separated. So in the middle, something happens and they both end up loving each other, and Vasu got back together with his family.
