Eesan - A decent attempt

While Sasikumar was so far dealing on villages and south Tamilnadu, this time he has given a full fledged city movie (with some scenes in 2nd half showing village). He has succeeded in showing the city culture (ECR, pub, party etc.). I was actually feeling like seeing a Venkat Prabhu movie.

The way he portrayed politicians and police was simply superb! No exaggeration and at the same time no adakki vaasithal. Ulladhu ullapadi! I would like to tell some dialgues which were very good but at the same time I am hesitant to spoil. So watch it in large screen!

His movies will usually have good amount of humor. But that is missing in this movie, may be he didn't want to interrupt the thrilling screenplay with comedy. Actually speaking, Sasikumar didn't succeed well in rendering a thrilling movie.

Though he managed to leave so many open ends and create a puzzle of how he is going to join everything, he didn't maintain a good thrill. But the introduction of that small boy was a good twist.

Vaibhav Reddy, yet another good performance. But he has to come out of the 'city guy' image and try some different type of movie too. 

Azhagappan was too good as a politician. 

Samuthrakani, as a character did a good job. But definitely he cannot be accepted as a hero. He is very stiff. There should be some dynamics for a hero. But I think, even Sasikumar didn't want any one as hero in this movie.

Abhinaya is gorgeous. Good that she got some scope to come in modern outfits too.

The complete crew has acted well. All were natural and helping for the smooth travel of movie.

James Vasanthan.... Songs are nice to hear but nothing got retained in mind. BGMs are ok ok type.

Final words to Sasikumar. You have got a good amount of family audience. Then why so much violence in this movie? Scenes following rape, final 15 mins of killing are horrible. You could have avoided them.

So how is Eesan? A decent attempt but definitely lacks Sasikumar's touch.

  2. well, Sasikumar has got inspired from many movies.

    Mahanadhi - the negative side of shifting from native village to city
    Pub scenes - Venkat Prabhu movies
    Unnai Pol Oruvan - Where the boy explains the details of pistol explaining that any one can get those details in net

    But one thing for sure. Sasikumar has added value addition for all the inspirations.

  3. Hi Karthik,

    This trend of Saiskumar will continue, I seriously believe he and Samuthirakanni are one movie showman.

    Cheers,

  4. Good review :)

    I agree with you on the violence part & the slaying of the goat could have also been avoided :(
