A detective from the Mumbai crime branch starts investigating the incident that caused the protagonist's (Siddharth) current state.

With the help of the Lucia pills, Vicky starts seeing himself as a successful actor called Vignesh surrounded by people he knows in the real world.

Meanwhile, in reality, Vicky struggles to win Divya's heart, who rejects him first due to his low salary and falls later for his humble character.

Divya's attempts to get Vicky educated and lead him to get a better-paying job turn out to be futile and result in the death of Durai at the hands of goons.

Asking Divya to close her eyes, Vignesh jumps off the roof to the disbelief of everyone present, including the contract killer waiting to kill him.

The detective is now convinced that Vignesh is living in his own version of reality and chose to be in his dream over the real world by attempting suicide.

Producer C. V. Kumar purchased the Tamil remake rights to the Kannada film Lucia (2013) in October 2013 after being recommended by his technical crew.

The team held initial talks with actor Bobby Simha about portraying the lead role, but he was eventually dropped.

[4] In early December 2013, C. V. Kumar signed up Siddharth to play the lead role in the film, while newcomer Prasad Ramar, co-writer of Pizza was assigned the task of directing the venture.

[5][6] Principal photography for the film started on 10 February 2014[citation needed] and it was announced that Kannada actress Deepa Sannidhi would portray the leading female role.

Imagine the little boy in Cinema Paradiso all grown up and starring in a Christopher Nolan head-scratcher written by Charlie Kaufman, and you'll have something like Enakkul Oruvan.

Prasad Ramar...sticks fairly close to the template of the original but a lot is lost in the execution...Enakkul Oruvan lacks the intimate texture and delicacy of Lucia.

[16] Indo-Asian News Service gave 3 stars and wrote, "While Enakkul Oruvan mostly remains faithful to the original, it lacks its indie spirit and somehow still feels commercial.

[17] Deccan Chronicle gave the same rating and wrote, "Despite few shortcomings, (Enakkul Oruvan) culminates into a climax that may possibly leave you melted and concentrated.

[14] Sify wrote, "Enakkul Oruvan is a bold and unique attempt with sharp performances and a tight script, it is 136 minutes well spent.

It is sans the normal commercial aspects for a Tamil movie and the icing on the cake is the intelligent screenplay by Pawan Kumar which is well supported by top-notch cinematography and music".
