Director
Shankar’s sharp acumen
in supporting quality content
through ‘S Pictures’
comes to the fore once again
in Eeram directed by debutant
Arivazhagan. Although paranormal
subjects are not something new,
the narrative style, technical
wizardry and the brilliant camera
work give Eeram, the real eerie
experience.
Aadhi and Sindhu Menon are in
love and when Aadhi asks Sindhu’s
hand in marriage, Sindhu’s
dad agrees but Aadhi’s
aspirations to become a police
officer stand in the way. And
the couple drifts away with
a lot of heartache. After a
while Sindhu gets married to
Nandha and starts a normal life
in an apartment complex. A deliberate
lie by Nandha to find out if
his wife had an earlier love
affair results in Sindhu revealing
her past innocently which sows
the seed of doubt in Nandha’s
mind and her murder later on.
The subsequent murders of many
people responsible directly
and indirectly for Sindhu’s
death by her spirit take the
audience on a thrilling rollercoaster
ride which forms the rest of
Eeram.
Eeram once again reiterates
that content is the hero and
scores well. Aadhi fits perfectly
in the role of an ACP but somehow
romance does not seem to be
his cup of tea. Other cast members
have understood their roles
and have delivered right. |

It is hard to believe that this is the first
outing of Arivazhagan who has neatly crafted
this thrill caper. Even though Eeram moves
a tad slow, it does not put brakes in the
flow of content anywhere.
Camera which is very crucial for such themes
has been handled excellently by Manoj Paramahansa.
The scene where water in the kitchen sink
stops flowing and abruptly gushes out and
the power that suddenly surges, though expected,
make the audience’s heart pound rapidly.
In a similar vein, when Nandha’s friend
Sreenath, struck by Sindhu’s ghost
returns home completely haggard only to
be further frightened by an innocent prank
of his daughter in a mask ups the fear as
well as comedy quotient. In the theatre
toilet, where Aadhi is on a trail of one
of the suspects, special effects, cinematography
and director’s intelligence are par
excellence. Music by Thaman is an additional
asset to Eeram.
People who love thrillers are sure to lap
Eeram up.
Verdict:
Eeram – Deep Impact
