Movies, like Pallavan, where the same girl is loved by two brothers usually involve sentiments and sacrifices by one or both of the brothers. Ennavo Pudichirukku, which also has the same love triangle, adopts a different track. It follows Vaali's footsteps by making one of the brothers the bad guy. But the comparisons to Vaali stop there. This movie is amateurish in both romance and thrills and to make matters worse, incorporates an intolerable comedy track.

Vishwa(Bharani) and Santosh(Sudeep) are brothers but poles apart in personality. While Vishwa is the responsible, dutiful son running the company in their father's absence, Santosh is a playboy for whom pursuing girls is the only pasttime. Vishwa and Sangeetha(Sindhuri) fall in love but Santosh, who is insulted by Sangeetha once, wishes to make her his own.

Ennavo Pudichirukku has one of the most inane romances in recent movies (with movies like Jai and Indru in the recent past, it has some pretty good competition too). Bharani and Sindhuri are mistaken to be lovers in a couple of totally contrived and cinematic circumstances and after the second such happening, decide to become real lovers! In fact, the initial portions of the movie are chockful of such amateurish scenes including, but not limited to, Sudeep's encounters with several girls and an out-of-the-blue motorcycle race on the streets of the city for which he even gets a cup!

Though there are a couple of expected scenes where the two brothers narrowly miss realising that it is the same girl they are both talking about, the director earns some points by not stretching this situation beyond breaking point. The story also gets more interesting from this point though it begins to resemble Vaali, ofcourse without the clever plot developments or thrills present there. Sinduri's money-hungry sister-in-law and her docile husband add some interest to the story and the extreme nature of Sudeep's acts are a little surprising. But the climax holds no such surprise and is a copout with predictable changes of heart.

The unconnected comedy track here is composed of Karunas in Vikram's cremator getup, in a takeoff on Pithamagan. Some of Vivek's best sequences have been his takeoffs on other movies (like Mudhal Mariyaadhai in Parthiban Kanavu and Moondraam Pirai in Run) and Karunas seems to be following the same formula now(he spoofed Vaali in the recent Pudhukottaiyilirindhu Saravanan). But his tracks so far have been disasters and this one adds one more to the list. Barring the initial interest when we realise that he is going to spoof Pithamagan, not a single laugh is raised in even one of the tortorous sequences. Infact, the tracks in the movie appear switched since we laugh at the amateurishness of the main track and wince painfully during the comedy track!

Sudeep, the second hero in Kaadhal Konden, is passable but even that cannot be said of most of the rest of the cast. Bharani is wooden and expressionless (watch the way he says "I love you" to Sinduri while walking away) and his lack of acting skills is overtaken only by the actor who plays Sinduri's brother. Sinduri, the most innocent of the three girls in Thathi Thavudhu Manasu, is adequate as the harried girl but she doesn't suit the skimpy clothes and fast dance steps in the song sequences. The actress playing Sinduri's sister-in-law is the most convincing of the lot inspite of her character being a caricature.
