The film is based on street cricket played in India, focusing on various themes such as friendship, love and rivalry in a suburban area.

The film was also remade in Bengali as Le Chakka (2010), in Sinhalese as Super Six (2012), and in Kannada as Bangalore 560023 (2015). A sequel to the film, Chennai 600028 II: Second Innings, was released in 2016.
