This familiar but breezy romance is an engaging affair
Enna Solla Pogirai Film Assessment: What’s love? To start with of Enna Solla Pogirai, its three protagonists appear to have a really clear thought of what it’s. For Vikram (Ashwin Kumar Lakshmikanthan, who makes a assured leap to main man), an RJ, it’s discovering the precise woman who ticks the guidelines he has in his thoughts – a konjam unbiased, artistic and easy woman. Romance author Anjali (Avantika Mishra, pleasing) believes in falling in love with somebody who has suffered a heartbreak, as a result of “love panna payyanukku dhaan adhoda arumai theriyum.. oru maturity irukkum”. In the meantime, Preethi (Teju Ashwini, efficient), a theatre artiste, is assured that she will be able to determine when she ought to fall in love. These three characters are introduced collectively when a match is organized between Vikram and Anjali. She asks him about his earlier relationship, and he lies about having had one. And when she expresses her curiosity in assembly his ex, he finally ends up getting Preethi to behave because the girlfriend whom he had damaged up with. In return, he agrees to pose as her boyfriend in order that she will be able to cease her grandfather (Delhi Ganesh) from pestering her to marry somebody. After all, we all know they’re going to find yourself falling in love!
Director A Hariharan units up the premise and the characters fairly confidently. The preliminary scenes are breezy and the three actors, too, are interesting proper from the beginning. Even when the idea is not novel, there’s freshness in the best way the scenes are written and staged. Take for instance the scene when Vikram narrates how he fell in love with Preethi. We get a meet cute set towards the backdrop of a wet night time, and what’s attention-grabbing is that we don’t clearly see the face of the woman, as a result of at that time, she’s simply an imaginary determine in his thoughts. Later, when he meets Preethi, we get the visuals once more, however this time, he is clearly capable of match her into the picture of the woman he had in thoughts when he narrated the story.
The way wherein Vikram and Preethi realise that they’re getting attracted to one another can also be properly finished. A scene between the duo that begins at her residence and goes on as they stroll and discuss their pursuits and needs, and ends up with the duo having a heartfelt second on the seashore is romantic.
However as soon as they realise the problems that may comply with if they begin getting right into a relationship, they attempt to transfer away. However issues nonetheless turn into messy, on condition that that is love we’re speaking about. From breezy, the tone turns into heavy because the characters attempt to navigate their means by way of the mess. Hariharan unties the knots convincingly, however despite the fact that the arc is a well-recognized one, he spends too lengthy resolving this love triangle. And so, after some time, the movie begins to really feel overlong. The compelled comedy scenes involving Pugazh and Lollu Sabha Swaminathan additionally do not assist. We additionally want the performances from the actors in these parts had been higher. They’re enough, however the sturdy feelings wanted one thing extra forceful.
That stated, the movie would not turn into a boring affair. We’re nonetheless invested within the characters and their selections. The energetic music by Vivek-Mervin and the stylish visuals by cinematographer Richard Nathan additionally assist to maintain us concerned within the proceedings. And there’s real heat in the best way the director manages to resolve the problems of the characters.
