Speech and hearing impaired quadruplets lose their way inside a zoo. With an enormous snake on the loose, can they come out alive?
Movie Review: Four kids go missing in a zoo. There is a gargantuan snake on the loose inside the grounds. The kids are speech and hearing impaired and so finding them is doubly difficult. Meanwhile, there's a media circus outside the place. With a plot like this, all we expect is a tense thriller (with a bit of satire and dry humour) but Enna Satham Intha Neram is tone-deaf. Rather than be a thriller, it wants to be a comedy (hey, after all, that's the trend, right?) and what we get is a dumb film that passes silliness for comedy and implausibility for thrills.
One scene in particular highlights everything that is wrong with this film. We are told that the kids might try to find a way out by climbing over an electric fence. So, the zoo keeper and the kid's school teacher rush to turn off the power while the director cross-cuts between their attempt and the kids climbing the wall. This is the Jurassic Park moment of the film and we must be experiencing nail-biting tension. But the scene is so insipidly written and staged that the moment barely makes any impact.
The characters are as inept as the writing — incompetent zoo keepers, incompetent cops, incompetent school staff,
