Plot

Ashwin, an aspiring filmmaker from a dysfunctional family, grows up idolizing cinematic portrayals of romance. His perception of love is shaped by idealized characters and dramatic narratives. When he meets Meera, a pragmatic doctor with her own emotional scars, Ashwin believes he has found his perfect partner. However, their relationship begins to unravel as both struggle with unresolved trauma and toxic patterns inherited from their pasts.

Following their breakup, Ashwin channels his heartbreak into writing a film script based on their story. As he attempts to pitch the film, he is forced to confront whether he wants his fictional ending to reflect his real-life choices. The narrative takes a playful turn when actor Vishnu Vishal, appearing as himself, intervenes to help the couple reconcile.

Reception

Critical response

M Suganth of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Oho Enthan Baby's plot developments do make us say, 'Oh so familiar, baby' and the resolutions it offers are too neat for characters who are flawed and scarred, but there is enough freshness in the filmmaking to keep us engaged and overlook the convenient writing."[23] Janani K of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "'Oho Enthan Baby' is a great attempt at crafting a love story that reflects this age's love story. The film delivered what it promised, but it's only half-baked."[24] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Oho Enthan Baby is another film that promises much and delivers less. It had a pretty decent start for an emotional love story, only to lose itself in the woods. The lack of proper alignment between the characters and their motivations unhooks us from the narrative and lets it stay that way."[25]
