Saravana Perumal (Deepak Dinkar) is a television anchor experiencing hard times in both his professional and personal life. He is being bested at his workplace by a colleague, harassed by a loan shark, and fears that his girlfriend Deepika (Neha Ratnakaran) is having an affair. Saravanan goes to a party with his friends, where he becomes intoxicated. While drunk, he unknowingly tells hitman Mark (Rajendran) of his troubles who takes pity on him and offers to kill his competitor at work, the loan shark, and Deepika. When he wakes the following morning, he finds that his colleague and the loan shark are dead, and a call from Mark informs him of their conversation the previous night. Saravanan tries to prevent Mark from killing Deepika. While attempting to murder Deepika, Mark falls from a ledge and dies, without Saravanan knowing his true identity as he was drunk when he met Mark. Towards the end, it is revealed that Mark's targets all died by accident before Mark could kill them. Saravanan is unaware of Mark's death and when he later marries Deepika, he becomes paranoid that every man who meets Deepika is secretly the hitman trying to kill her.
Filming was completed in October 2014.[1]

Ivanuku Thannila Gandam opened to negative reviews, but they singled out Rajendran as the highlight of the film. Avinash Gopinath of Filmibeat gave the film two out of five stars. Gopinath praised Rajendran's performance in the film who he felt carried the film. He also commented that Dinkar's acting as the lead needed refinement. Gopinath bemoaned the screenplay and felt some "unwanted sub-plots" could have been edited out.[2] Sify rated the film as average. They appreciated Rajendran's comic acting stating "the film belongs to Rajendran". However they felt scenes not involving him showed that the filmmakers "tried too hard to make the film as a laughathon". The soundtrack of the film was described as "passable".[9] Tamilstar reviewer Kumaresun gave the film two out of five stars. He pointed to Rajendran's comic role as "the high point" of the film. However he felt the "movie is amateurish, and ends up nowhere".[10] M. Suganth of The Times of India rated the film two out of five stars and stated "It is a film where amateurishness is passed for attitude, and silliness, and crass dialogues... for comedy".[7]
