The movie’s title may need the title of a girl, however Enkilum Chandrike is about males; some, desperate to get married, and others, making an attempt onerous to foil the wedding plans of one among their mates. It’s fairly evident that debutant director Adithyan Chandrasekhar isn’t a creator with lofty goals, however somebody who had got down to make a mean, light-hearted entertainer. However, if you purpose for common, you’re sure to finish up someplace under par, and that occurs to be the case with Enkilum Chandrike.
Abhi (Saiju Kurup), Kiran (Basil Joseph) and Amal (Aswin Vijayan) are in a state of shock after listening to concerning the marriage of their fellow membership member Bibeesh (Abhiram Radhakrishnan).

Adithyan Chandrasekhar is thought for conceiving a number of internet collection with recent themes, particularly the profitable Common Ambili. Nonetheless, in Enkilum Chandrike, which he has scripted together with Arjun Narayanan, he sticks to telling an old school story in an old school method. The standard tropes one would discover in such a movie are additionally current; all the pieces from an imaginary village to an arts membership the place the protagonists congregate, and to not point out, the pleasant and kind-hearted villagers. It’s a throwback to the milieu which was the staple in Malayalam movies from the Nineteen Nineties.
The makers have toyed with a wafer-thin storyline, milking all of the potential jokes out of this state of affairs. However sadly for them, solely a few of them work. Regardless of having such a star-studded forged filled with confirmed performers, the dearth of fabric to help their effort is obvious. Even Basil Joseph, who has hardly had a below-par efficiency, struggles with the tried humour right here. His character of an aspiring filmmaker — who attracts inspiration from throughout and messes up when he tries it out on his personal — may have been a lot extra if these jokes had really labored.
Although it was a breath of recent air to see Suraj Venjaramoodu in a mildly humourous position after a slew of significant characters, he doesn’t actually have a lot to do. Newcomer Aswin Vijayan, then again, makes an impression with a few of his gags. However, each the feminine characters get sidelined in what (in the long run) turns into a story of male bonding and envy.
