Interesting ideas marred by unearned resolutions

OW you deal with a heartbreak and how you define it is very telling of what love means to you.

- AKSHAY KUMAR

The protagonist of Oho Enthan Baby, Ashwin (Rudra), in a scene, tells Meera (Mithila Palkar) that he remained single after suffering a heartbreak. And what is the heartbreak he is referring to? A lesbian college mate, for whom he had one-sided feelings, turned him down and confessed she liked his female friend. Krishnakumar Ramakumar's film is a hard sell as a romcom for these reasons.

The film begins with an assistant director Ashwin getting an opportunity to make a pitch to Vishnu Vishal (as himself). The actor's manager, King (Redin Kingsley), sends Ashwin back, saying that the actor wants a love story and not the one he pitched. A dejected Ashwin leaves, only to realize halfway that he indeed has a love story—his own—and heads back to Vishnu's residence to narrate the story. What happens next forms the central plot of Oho Enthan Baby.
