Ennul Aayiram

5/15/2016

Of late, many filmmakers are resorting to a multi-strand narrative for a while to tell stories which fall under the thriller genre. Ennul Aayiram, too, begins with a 'somewhat' similar approach. There is the protagonist (Maha), an easy-going youngster who works as a bartender in a star hotel, a girl about to elope with her lover (Marina Michael), a woman disowned by her husband (Shruti Yugal) and a cop on a mission (Vincent Asokan). But very soon, director Krishna Kumar changes tack and goes for a conventional narrative. Maha's devil-may-care attitude lands him in a bizarre one-night stand with Shruti — something which he regrets later. But he unexpectedly finds light at the end of the tunnel in the form of Marina. He woos her for a few days, and the girl (unsurprisingly) falls for him.
