Ennavo Pudichirukku (transl. Something I like) is a 2004 Tamil language romantic thriller film directed by Meenakshi Sundaram. The film stars Kaadhal Kondein fame Sudeep, newcomer Bharani and Sindhuri, with Karunas, Bhuvaneswari, Vittal Rao, S. Sriskandarajah, Madhan Bob, and Kovai Sarala playing supporting roles. The film, produced by S. Sriskandarajah, was released on 26 February 2004.[1]
Santosh (Sudeep) and Vishwa (Bharani) are brothers with different personalities. They are the sons of Muthaiah (Vittal Rao), a rich NRI businessman. Santosh is a chronic womanizer who believes that money is enough to attract women. Vishwa, on the other hand, is responsible and works in his father's company and believes love is pure and beautiful.
Vishwa and Sangeetha (Sindhuri) fall in love with each other. Sangeetha is from a middle-class family. She lives with her docile brother (S. Sriskandarajah) and her greedy sister-in-law Saroja (Bhuvaneswari). One day, Santosh falls under the spell of Sangeetha and tries to woo her. Sangeetha, annoyed by his crudeness, slaps him in a public place. Santosh, who has never been humiliated like this before, swears that he will marry her and will make her suffer after the marriage. Santosh then pays her sister-in-law Saroja to fulfil his wish.
Later, Santosh realizes that his brother Viswa and Sangeetha are lovers, but even after knowing it, Santosh is determined to make Sangeetha his own. What transpires next forms the rest of the story.

Newcomer Bharani is ok. Sindhuri’s acting stands out especially in the scene when she is torn between the two brothers".[4][5]
