An IT specialist named Rudhra (Bobby Simha) experiences blackout disorders as a result of sleep deprivation. Nita (Kashmira Pardeshi), his lover, asks him to take time off work and visit a hill station. They reside in Vasantha Mullai, a villa where odd things seem to be going on. Rudhra sets out in quest of an inhaler when Nita begins to experience breathing difficulties all of a sudden. She's not there when he gets back to the motel room. Arya, the man with the mask, chases Rudhra when everything seems to be in disarray. Rudhra doesn't know what Arya's objectives are.

Following are a string of tragic incidents that endanger Rudhra and Nita's life. Will they be able to escape this enigmatic location, or is what they are seeing taking place in a whole different reality?

The majority of Kollywood's thriller productions either begin with a young couple traveling to a remote location or staying in a strange bungalow where trouble ensues. Vasantha Mullai also uses a similar structure, but the concept it employs is respectable enough to hold viewers' interest. However, the lackluster plot and implausible conflicts make this a merely passable viewing.

Vasantha Mullai is a passable effort that tries way too hard to be original and creative but mostly falls short. While several of the sequences starring bobby, Kashmira, and the masked man are expertly constructed, the writing occasionally seems disorganized. The filmmaker's notion to include a time-loop concept is extremely intriguing, but it is a little disappointing when he completely deceives the audience at the end of the movie in the name of a twist.

A rather straightforward answer is provided just as we start to think that the main characters, including arya and bobby Simha, are experiencing some serious issues. Instead of inserting a random twist, Ramanan should have focused more on the hero's psychopathology during conflict scenes to make the movie better. The only person who saves the movie is bobby Simha, who also steals the show by himself. Somewhat successful, his scenes with Kashmira are amorous. Kashmira exudes charisma on screen. Despite not having much room to maneuver, arya gave it his all. Even if the film's technical aspects aren't spectacular, they are convincing enough to keep our attention.

Vasantha Mullai is undoubtedly a good thriller, but it doesn't really engross you in its world.
