Eesan (2010) **

Eesan is the second movie for Sasikumar as a director after his cult classic Subramaniapuram.After making one of milestone movie in Tamil Cinema,what is least expected is a movie with a brilliance.We are not running along with hypes but its not needed to get in to a different space .for the sake of versatility.Sasikumar lacks the sophistication in his movie,he lacks the Urban touch in a movie which speaks mostly about the Super rich spoiled society.Sasikumar has forgotten his razor sharp screenplay which he presented in his earlier movie.I have no intention of comparing with any movie ,but Eesan is a movie which lacks Good editing,Screenplay and plot.

Eesan is about the super rich spoiled brats who ruin the lives of women .Sezhiyan(Vaibhav) ,son of State minister Deivanayagam is a fellow who spends his time with his fellow friends in pubbing and flirting.They ruin many women lives and they hide the crimes with the power of Sezhiyan’s dad .Sengayya ( Samuthirakani ) an IPS officer is fed up of getting hold of their crime and then releasing because of political pressure.Sezhiyan falls in love with Reshma ,daughter of a Business Tycoon who has messed with Sezhiyan’s dad( AL Azhagappan) in a Political deal.Both parents accept for their marriage anticipating their business and political future.Sezhiyan gets kidnapped and Sengayya is put in to the charge to search Sezhiyan,when he digs in to the investigation he discovers the nasty world of Super rich which shocks .

I can’t understand why Sasikumar needed 200 minutes to tell a story.Totally rubbish.Secondly what is he trying to convery through the first half of the movie.Is he justifying the brutality of the second half through the first half.What is the need of negotiations and business rivalry plots in this movie which is altogether pointing towards a different concept.Mr.Sasikumar no body was in a hurry to watch such an disaster? Every body wanted you to come up with an good script and make a movie.I would be happy if the editor had played a little role in this lengthy movie.

Having said the above,Movie tries to portray the super rich life in a darker sense.It also tries to capture the lighter moments but all is forgotten when we see the real world of them.We cant testify the credibility of the culture but it has become a routine news for the Urban people.We hear it every day and we see it in all the pubs and hang outs ,the super flirts,Drunken monkeys but we cant take a life out of them in a positive note even for a second.But Sasikumar tries it out.But he fails.He tries to show the negative image in a positive note and gives the real retribution in the end.But in the end Sasikumar also gets punished that’s the sadest part.Eesan still has some razor sharp dialogues and some scary ,worrying scenes which makes us think.The social message which is being told is a real concern for any body who lives amidst the super rich society.I dont have any concerns in the movie other than the length and the editing but those two has spoiled the screen play.The movie should have 1 hour shorter than the actual.

Samuthrakani excels ,he has been honest in his performance .The character of Deivanayagam utters some of the very powerful dialogues in the movie in a typical political manner.I have no words for Abinaya but I strongly condemn Sasikumar for using her for this movie.Some how I wasn’t comfortable with the scene with Vaibhav (!!??) ,I even felt like leaving the hall.James Vasanthan and Kathir delivers good for Sasikumar and they have done it again.

Good Performance,Good Music,Good camera ,You have expectation, what else you need ? Good script and sharp and uncompromised editing.We are missing both in Brutal Eesan.Eesan has yanking and dragging scenes,Not to deny that it has some emotional and real meaningful scenes.It has even some nativity scenes which hasn’t been shown in any of Tamil Movies.But still Sasikumar testifies of patience and he disappoints us with a very ordinary movie filled with Brutality and Vodka.Some where in the length the true intention of the movie gets missed.Thumbs Down!!!
