Sri Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures' Ennai Theriyuma?, starring Manoj Kumar, Sneha Ullal and Riya Sen, is a hotchpotch of several mystery thrillers but falls flat.
This latest effort from Harris Jeyaraj barring one or two numbers, doesn't seem to sustain itself after the first few lines but perhaps, with repeated listening, its appeal might increase.
Some of the tunes might be familiar, but you can't deny that Ilaiyaraja manages to produce appealing music from his vast repertoire.
