The boys are brought to the police station to be questioned by ACP (Samuthirakani). The story line and the values represented are absurd and sick.Ī group of boys, after a night party, chase a girl, resulting in an accident and the death of the girl. As cinematic language, there is nothing in it.

The screen play, scenes and shot takings are absolutely shoddy. None of the characters grow well or are even led properly. If you are watching a Sasikumar film for the first time, it could be an even worse experience. But there is a certain integrity or a certain growth that happens, if not, at least a minimum basic standard has to be there. One can even understand or argue, all the films of a director need not be masterpieces. The director looks confused about his sense of direction and seems to be good only at violence and violation – both on screen and off screen on to the hapless audience. I was simply shocked that in Eesan, not one of the positives that I have mentioned in Subramaniapuram exist. But with this film, the director has reached rock bottom. Most importantly it was an honest and earnest effort, one from the heart. Still, the film had a certain class, good story telling, engaging scenes, a perceptive and gripping screen play, great music, fine cinematography, enthusiastic direction, an inspired team spirit and some decent acting. I have seen Subramaniapuram, and was largely very impressed, though finally I did feel let down by the way the violence was handled, which in a way toppled the film. So this is the second film of Sasikumar as the director and the expectations are naturally really high. Maybe the greatest problem when you go to see this film is the expectations that one has from a Sasikumar film, especially after his thundering success with Subramaniapuram (2008), his directorial debut, and Pasanga (2009), which he produced.

His attitude towards filmmaking, his understanding about the issues that he has taken up, his capacity to tell an engaging story and the depth he brings about in the characters or situations – all come across as being totally pathetic. My sensibilities, intelligence and dignity, sitting in the audience was totally violated and abused not by the story content, which, as it is, is all about insult, abuse and revenge, but purely by the way the filmmaker has made this film. I came out of the theatre feeling terribly angry, disgusted, disappointed and totally let down.
