Plot[]

From a small rural village, Eashwaran (Srikanth) goes to the bigger city of Chennai with his father (Murali), seeking medicine to treat an illness. While in town, they live at the home of Eashwaran's brother (Shyam Ganesh), who is caught up in a dangerous web of corruption involving a thug Aditya (FEFSI Vijayan).

Critical reception[]

Sify wrote, "The story of Joot is as stale as yesterday's bread, as the plot is clichéd and seen in umpteen mass films in the same genre. The first half when the hero comes to the city from a village and gets into a fight with local goons for no fault of his, reminds you of Dhool."^[2] Balaji Balasubramaniam wrote, "Azhagam Perumal too takes the masala route with Joot after Dum Dum Dum, his first movie. But one wishes he hadn't followed Lingusamy this closely. Joot is little more than a rehash of Run (with a little bit of Dhool thrown in) without the handling that made the original a first-class entertainer."^[3] Joot opened to packed houses throughout Tamil Nadu and turned out to be a profitable venture for all the distributors
