Plot


The film starts with Thamizharasan (Sathyaraj), a reformist who enters a village with the intention to unite a couple and help a young girl named Sandhya (Madhumitha), who aspires to be a singer. Bala (Siva Balaji) is in love with Sandhya. Thamizharasan faces the anger of Sandhya's father (Dhandapani), a strong believer of older ideologies. Sandhya hates Thamizharasan, and the reason for that is told in a flashback, which starts with Thamizharasan's wife Maheswari (Namitha) aspiring to be a sports champion. Theepori Thirumugam (Vadivelu) is Maheswari's uncle. Thamizharasan helps her. Due to some family problems, Maheswari kills herself after making her husband promise to help her sister to become a popular singer. The rest of the film is how Thamizharasan fulfills Maheshwari's promise and helps unite Bala and Sandhya.

Critical reception


Chennai Online wrote "Let your child pursue his own ambition, don't force yours on him, says the message. But in the loosely etched script with its various issues and distractions, it's a diluted, and confused multi-message that reaches the audience". P. V. Sathish Kumar of Nowrunning wrote, "Sparky script, great performances, directorial flare, and play's essential revelation makes "Englishkaran" an admirable movie".
