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. There, 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. Thipori 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

The film received mainly positive reviews and was a commercial success grossing $1 million at the box office. Nowrunning commented that sparky script, great performances, directorial flare, and play's essential revelation made "Englishkaran" an admirable movie. The film got its humor from spoofing and parodying and offered wholesome entertainment value whatsoever.[4] Indiaglitz commented that Sakthi Chidamabaram had tried to give a movie with a strong message with a convoluted mix of humour, romance and glamour.[5]
