Enakkul Oruvan is the official remake of a Kannada movie. Being a psychological thriller, it is important that the movie is conveyed in a convincing manner. Has Prasad Ramar managed to do that?
Plot: Siddharth is a star who suffers from insomnia. His other problem, or fascination, should we say, is Deepa Sannidhi who plays his love interest. She is an aspiring actress and wants to make it big someday. Siddharth, on the other hand, wants to lead a very simple life and always dreams of wooing his lady love as an ordinary person.
On a sleepless night, he comes in contact with a drug dealer and is given a few tablets by him, tablets which will change his life forever. The drug dealer promises him that the pills will not only give him some sleep, but also help him to realise his dreams through dreams. Confusing? Check out Enakkul Oruvan for clarification.
Performances: Siddharth as an actor has come a long way and dishes out an unbelievable performance in Enakkul Oruvan. If Kaaviya Thalaivan was one extreme in his career, then Enakkul Oruvan is definitely another.
Deepa Sannidhi is convincing enough and her talent would be wasted in Tamil cinema if not properly used.
Technicalities: Enakkul Oruvan needs to be a technically sound movie if it is going to make an impact among the audience and – what a coincidence – it is technically very good with a great production value.
The screenplay plays a major role in any movie and more so in Enakkul Oruvan. A complicated screenplay is quite neatly pulled off and yet it also succeeds in confusing the audience in parts. But that’s where the film demands your complete concentration and keeps you hooked throughout.
Santhosh Narayanan’s background score is fresh and suits the film well, it blends perfectly with almost all the scenes and quite effortlessly so.
Gopi Amarnath’s camera work is a big plus and also plays an important role. Special mention goes to Leo John Paul whose editing makes this an interesting watch.
Enakkul Oruvan could have easily been termed as a chaotic film if not for Leo’s clever editing.
Overall View: Enakkul Oruvan is a brave offering. Non-linear films are difficult to convey convincingly but debut director Ramar has done a fabulous job. Enakkul Oruvan is a clear- cut winner because of fantastic team work. – oneindia.in
