Parallelly in Chennai, a key minister is in need of kidney transplantation to save her life and Muthusirpi is identified as a donor. The film deals with themes of organ trafficking, identity theft and more. Upon release in February, the film was met with positive and mixed reviews
An excerpt from our CE review of the film read, "My Lord points out how the power-hungry and influential people are all around us, and it doesn’t require someone from outside to come and exploit us. But more importantly, the film points out that the greatest need of the hour for a country like India is affordable healthcare. Almost every seemingly well-settled family in the country is one devastating illness away from bankruptcy, and through the characters of Muthusirpi and his wife Suseela (Chaithra), Raju Murugan argues that a self-sufficient and satisfied lifestyle is a bubble that is waiting to burst."
