Upon searching he reaches a School building where Chandu finds out a guy who is Swetha's cousin and explains him that Swetha is fed up with her parents behaviour, out of frustration she left her house and stays at her grandmother's home. And then Swetha falls in love with a guy who later cheats her on being in relation with another girl and Swetha takes a lot of time in the process of healing up. In order to be happy, she selects unknown persons in the form of love where her cousin won't object her because she's happy for a particular time upon spending some memorable monents with them. Chandu asks her cousin to call Swetha once to meet but she won't show up. Chandu leaves the place in a depressed state and settles his friend's love matter with a neat clarification to his parents.

The Hindu wrote that "A confident storyteller here translates his script to celluloid with precision, the film is a calming experience and the impact is more than the sum of its elements- the stirring background score and slick cinematography lend depth to the frames".[5] The Times of India gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and wrote that "The strength of Vellipomakey lies in the fact that Yakub is able to narrate an ordinary tale effectively without any frills, bells or whistles".[6][7]
