The film revolves around Kamal (Jeyam Ravi), who ardently works for 11 months sweating to the core and for a month dies enjoying his life. Paris – The romantic capital of World is his gateway destination and over there we have Kayalvizhi (Hansika Motwani), loving her music of playing cello. She falls in love at first sight with Kamal and indeed wants to propose him. But the freewheeling chap has no such beliefs and doesn’t recognize her feelings. But everything is not gonna be the same as the things take a change as Kamal gets back to Paris after a year.

‘No Love, No Commitments, Enjoy your life’ – Kamal (Jeyam Ravi), the film’s protagonist strictly sticks to this ritual and doesn’t believe in a thing called ‘Love’. But it’s a chalk-n-cheese perception with Kayalvizhi (Hansika Motwani), who strongly believes in ‘Love’ like Sophie in ‘Letters to Juliet’. Perhaps, these very few lines would have defined what’s ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ is all about?

The film is about  a guy and gal with their own worlds of perception and how they get mingled with their hearts at last. Produced by AGS Entertainments in collaboration with Sun Pictures, the film has opened up this morning following the big releases like ‘Ko’ and ‘Vaanam’ on last Friday.

The first thing that comes to our mind is Kamal departs Kayal just on a note of friendship. He even doesn’t have any kind of connection with her for next one year. But all of sudden, he develops a kind of aversion towards Kayal as she points out some names as her boyfriends. It’s a kind of annoyance as the logic is completely missing there.

Technical front requires extraordinary talk about as Nirav Shah’s jaw-dropping visuals of Paris is laudable. Not along with songs, but every shot has a stunning prospect. Harris Jayaraj must give attention to background score as in the current period he is deficient on these quotients. But songs are fabulously beautiful as ‘Naangai’ and ‘Dhimu Dhimu’ take hold of our attention. The sequences in ‘Dhimu Dhimu’ are a replicated concept ‘Main Kya Hoon’ of ‘Love Aaj Kal’.

Jeyam Ravi and Hansika Motwani have a affluent look, but haven’t got an adequate amount of scope for performance. Especially, Hansika has to pick up a lot over the performance. She overreacts and the one dubbing her voice is horrible. Sumanth has a funny detective is okay while Raju Sundaram’s comedy tracks are annoying.

On the whole, ‘Engeyum Kadhal’ is a passable show for its technical treat, but when it comes to marking the verdict for the film; it’s a very big disappointment.

Verdict: Very average
