### Plot and premise
Pugalendhi, called Pugal, is an athlete from [Thanjavur](https://www.edgepedia.org/thanjavur) who has broken a national-level record in the 110-meter hurdles and trains under coach Devaraj (Aadukalam Naren) for national competition[6](https://www.filmibeat.com/tamil/movies/eetti.html). He suffers from a rare bleeding disorder, a condition in which even a small injury can cause excessive blood loss, and travels to Chennai for a sports meet[8](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/movies/eetti/story.html) • [2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/eetti). Once there, he becomes embroiled in a counterfeit money scam run by a gang of gangsters[1](https://www.moviebuff.com/eetti).
Behindwoods noted that sports-based films are uncommon in [Tamil cinema](https://www.edgepedia.org/tamil-cinema) and that Eetti is not a full sports film: it adds a medical element to the usual commercial components of romance, songs, comedy, family sentiment, and action against the gang, with the medical angle exploited mainly toward the end[5](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/eetti/eetti-review.html).
## Production and release
[Principal photography](https://www.edgepedia.org/principal-photography) began on 29 November 2013, when a first-look poster showing Atharvaa as an athlete was released[9](https://tamilar.wiki/w/%E0%AE%88%E0%AE%9F%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF_%282015_%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D%29). The film was shot for about 70 days in Chennai, with roughly five songs in the soundtrack[10](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-cinema-news-15/updates-about-atharvaas-upcoming-movies-chandi-veeran-kanithan-and-eetti.html). Atharvaa trained for the athlete role and said he approached it as "a sports film with proper commercial elements"[3](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2015/Dec/22/eeti-team-celebrates-films-success-859016.html) • [1](https://www.moviebuff.com/eetti).
**A flood-delayed release.** The film was first scheduled for 27 November 2015, then moved to 4 December[11](https://www.moviecrow.com/News/10274/eetti-to-release-on-december-4). On 1 December 2015, Chennai was flooded by rainfall the city had not witnessed in the previous 100 years, and the team postponed the release while helping those affected; producer Michael Rayappan then set the release for 11 December, saying that entertaining people was what they needed after the tragedy[3](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2015/Dec/22/eeti-team-celebrates-films-success-859016.html). At a later success meet, the film was declared a hit[3](https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/tamil/2015/Dec/22/eeti-team-celebrates-films-success-859016.html).
## Music
G. V. Prakash Kumar composed the soundtrack and background score, with the album released on 25 September 2015[12](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/eetti/eetti-songs-review.html). The Tamil-language track list includes "Panjumittai" (sung by Hariharasudan, lyrics by Yegadesi), "Un Suvasam", "Naan Pudicha Mosakuttiye", "Oru Thuli" (sung by Siddharth Mahadevan), "Kuyyo Muyyo", and an instrumental "Eetti Theme"[9](https://tamilar.wiki/w/%E0%AE%88%E0%AE%9F%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%BF_%282015_%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%88%E0%AE%AA%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%9F%E0%AE%AE%E0%AF%8D%29). Behindwoods described "Panjumittai" as a quirky track blending Carnatic raga Suddha Dhanyasi with a touch of Reetigowla[12](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/eetti/eetti-songs-review.html).
## Reception
Behindwoods gave the film 2.75 out of 5, calling it "a decent entertainer" and praising Atharvaa's athleticism and the action choreography, while criticizing misplaced song and comedy sequences and a script that turns convenient with coincidences[5](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/eetti/eetti-review.html). The film holds a 6.3 rating on IMDb based on 714 user votes[2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/eetti). On Rotten Tomatoes it has no Tomatometer reviews and fewer than 50 audience ratings[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/eetti).
