Plot
Vijay is the managing director of a large shipping corporation. He lives in a joint family with his father Sethupathi, two brothers Krishna and Vasu, their wives and children, and a spinster sister Pooja. Vijay goes to Switzerland in Europe to stipulate a contract with Nagaraj and Shekar. There, he meets Meenakshi, Nagaraj's sister. The two of them fall in love. Nagaraj approves of Vijay, but when he expresses the condition that Vijay should stay with them after the marriage because India is not good, he refuses his offer and returns home. However, Shekar and Meenu later travel to India to mend fences. Shekar learns that Pooja had been dumped by Nagaraj for a better life, and Vijay is just waiting for an opportunity to kill the man who destroyed his sister's life. He devises ways of preventing Nagaraj from attending the marriage, but he later tells Pooja the truth. Vijay overhears this and is angered, but Shekar solves all the problems by deciding to marry Pooja. Pooja agrees for this too, making everyone happy. Finally, Vijay, seeing his sister happy leaves Nagaraj alone. Eventually, Meenu and Vijay get married.

Reception
D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "An ordinary love story has been made fairly entertaining in Sameera Films' ``Enrendrum Kaathal''. The lead pair Vijay and Ramba have a major say in it — the former makes good use of the openings given in the dialogue of `Crazy' Mohan while the latter is her glamorous self". Ramanujam also appreciated the cinematography by Shiva.[7] Ananda Vikatan rated the film 34 out of 100.[8]
