Hi
all,
If you felt that that Sasikumar's Subramaniapuram
was a dark film, hold on, Easan is even
darker..I must admit that I'm a big fan
of Sasikumar. Sasikumar stormed into film
industry, as an actor, director and a
producer with smash hit Subramaniapuram
and later went on to give a stunning performance
in Nadodigal. He also produced the national
award winning film Pasanga.. But, I am
afraid he has failed to strike the right
chord with the audience this time around.
The basic plot of the movie is based on
Chennai's night life. I'd say that it
is a new genre for Tamil audience. Chezhiyan
(Vaibhav) is a rich spoiled guy. He and
his friends are freelancers in the city
as Vaibhav's father (Deiva Nayagam, played
by A.L. Azhagappan), a leading politician,
would bail

them out even if they commit a murder. Vaibhav falls
in love with a girl (Reshma, played by Aparna), whose
father is a big businessman (largely inspired from
Vijay Mallya). Predictably, there is some political
drama that happens before everyone agrees to their
marriage.
Samudhirakani comes as Sangayya, who is the Assistant
Commissioner Of Police. He has given a very subtle
performance. He is indeed used in a political drama.
He gets furious after knowing this but his hands are
tied by the Commissioner Of Police. The movie gains
some momentum when Vaibhav is beaten up and kidnapped
by an unknown person just before interval. After interval,
Samudhirakani solves the case and comes to know that
a XI grade student (Easan) is the convict. Obviously,
Easan has a flash-back sequence where Easan's sister
(played by Abhinaya) and his father end their lives
because of Chezhiyan and his friends. So, he decides
to take revenge on them. Then, the climax reveals
what happens to Easan and whether he takes revenge
or not.
The main problem with this movie is that, it never
takes off at all. You will get tired of too many repetitive
pub scenes in the first half .The movie runs nearly
for 3 hours which also tests your patience. The screenplay
could have been a lot brisker. Music is a big let
down too. James Vasanthan's magic is definitely missing.
There are too many dark and disturbing scenes in the
film, which could have been avoided.
Sasikumar fails to hit the bull's eye this time!!
Cheers,
Sai Shyam G.
