Love,
greed, crime and revenge. These
are the basic emotions that
constitute the story of Eesa.
If you are the type who expects
something new every time you
watch a film, Eesa is bound
to disappoint you big time.
Vignesh and Lakshana play the
lead pair in the film, supported
by Singampuli. They work in
Thoothukudi under a wealthy
respectable man in the village.
But as the story unfolds it
comes to light that he is corrupt
and wicked within. Lakshana
is the one who first stumbles
upon the truth and she has to
pay for it with her life, but
not before passing on the truth
to Vignesh in the midst of her
final few breaths. It has to
be a predictable course from
then on, murder in the name
of revenge.
The script is the biggest flaw
in Eesa, a lot more care should
have been taken in the writing
department. The proceedings
get tiresome and irksome very
early in the first half and
it is a weary wait for the climax,
you don’t feel interested
at any point. However there
are a few scenes where one is
shaken out of passiveness. Vignesh,

to
accept Lakshana’s death keeps her
decaying dead body alongside him, talking
and singing to her. Such scenes, though
not new to Tamil cinema, have been shot
well.
Vignesh has worked hard, but the results
are far below satisfactory, mainly due to
the deficient script. His character loses
his sanity after Lakshana’s death
and becomes sort of psychic. The body language
in most of those scenes bears striking resemblance
to that of Vikram’s character in Pithamagan.
The director must have been alive to this
situation.
Eesa
is a poorly made film with the shoddy script
being the main culprit. With the foundation
being shaky, there is little that could
be done by the other elements to salvage
the movie.
Verdict:
Lacking in many fronts
