Ennai Thalatta Varuvala (transl. Will She Come to Cradle Me?) is 2003 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by K. S. Ravindran and produced by P. M. Vedimuthu, who also wrote the story. The film stars Ajith in a cameo appearance, Vignesh and Reshma (credited as Sumi). Production began in the mid-1990s, but the film released only on 21 March 2003.

Plot

[edit]

The film centers around Vennila's connections with the three men in her life. Satish wins a college competition and becomes the object of Vennila's ire. In a fit of pique, Vennila feigns love to him, gets him to marry her, and then ditches him on the wedding night. The whole affair leaves Satish in a state of shock, and he is later hospitalized and gets into a deep coma. Santhosh is a new entrant to the college. He chooses Vennila for his games of one-upmanship, leaving her puzzled as to his motive. Amar is Vennila's fiancé from abroad. She later realizes that he is a psychopath. Vennila later finds that she is pregnant, and is shocked since she has not had a physical relationship with any of the men. Soon, she realizes that it was the past catching up with her, and it was a planned vendetta by Satish's dear ones.

Production

[edit]

The film was earlier titled as Vennila, after the name of the character portrayed by Sumi,[1] but later renamed after a song from Kadhalukku Mariyadhai (1997).[2] The film began production works in 1995 and the project faced delays due to financial problems with the film finally releasing in March 2003.[3]

Soundtrack

[edit]

Soundtrack was composed by Ashoka.[4]

Reception

[edit]

AllIndianSite.com wrote, "The story seems ridiculous. The director completely failed to convince the viewers", though the critic praised the performances of Vignesh, Reshma and Ajith.[5] Malini Mannath wrote for Chennai Online, "The film [...] has been years in the making and the script has undergone changes along the way. Not surprisingly it has a faded look".[6] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote, "The storyline is an attempt at being different. And that is about the only positive of [Ennai Thalatta Varuvala]", adding that "But nothing makes an impact because the flawed screenplay and direction makes watching [Ennai Thalatta Varuvala] a tiring exercise".[7]
