Ennodu Nee Irundhal Movie Review

Kishore (Sathya), the protagonist of Ennodu Nee Irundhal, is supposed to be the sensitive, socially responsible type. He delays a project that his boss (Ajay Rathnam), the MD of a real estate company, wants to close at the earliest just because he doesn't want to cheat people. He makes a scrapbook of cuttings of crime reports from newspapers. He falls in love with Pooja (Manasa), a rich girl, just because she acts friendly towards him. And he gets heartbroken when he Pooja friend-zones him. And he becomes a vigilante when he starts getting calls from her. Where is all this headed to? Is this a romantic drama, a vigilante movie or a psycho thriller, or all of the above?

 

There are some films that get made just because their makers had the resources to make one. These are the films where film making competence isn't the most important criteria. Ennodu Nee Irundhal belongs in this list. The performances of the leads clearly suggest that these are actors wouldn't cross the first stage of a serious audition. The writing is almost non-existent and for almost the entire first half, we are left wondering what story the film is trying to tell us. The cinematography makes everything look flat, as if the actors are performing in front of a picturesque curtain in a photo studio. And the direction only worsens it, making even seasoned actors like Rohini and Vennira Aadai Moorthy look like amateurs. If you, for some inexplicable reason, find yourself in a theatre screening this film, better pray that you are watching it with the right kind of audience - the kind that know how to laugh at a movie and have fun.
