Plot
Arjun is an ardent believer of astrology. His astrology guru Thirumandha tells him that he should marry a Kanni Raasi (Virgo) girl who comes from another state so that his life will prosper. Despite the repeated matrimonial search, Arjun is unable to find his dream girl. Arjun meets K. R. Vijaya (KRV) in his ex-lover's wedding in Bangalore. They end up sleeping together. Anita advises Arjun not to follow KRV as she is an independent aspiring astronaut who is going to Mars on a one-way mission. Later, KRV comes to Chennai for a seminar and ends up staying with Arjun. They gradually fall in love. KRV breaks up with him because he is insistent on following astrology and she is insistent on following astronomy. An ensuing drama follows. Arjun realises that believing astrology is not wrong, but believing only in astrology is a mistake. He ends up engaged to Bhargavi, who is later shown to be an ardent believer in astrology.

Release and reception
The film had its theatrical release on 6 December 2019.[11] Sify called the film outdated.[12] M Suganth of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "The writing is largely uneven relying more on broad comedy rather than organic humour and drama, with overstretched scenes."[13] Pradeep Kumar of The Hindu wrote "The film lacks sensible writing, and is a misstep in an era where Tamil cinema is looking to take two steps forward in its pursuit of delivering quality content."[14] S. Subhakeerthana of The Indian Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Where’s the plot? And, this distasteful film needed a director who knew his job."[15] Ashameera Aiyappan of Cinema Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "It would have been easier to judge Harish Kalyan's Dhanusu Raasi Neyargale had it been consistent with its problematic idead but it does redeem itself, a teeny tiny bit, towards the end."[16]
