Featured review
STR's new avatar in an old story.
Periyasamy is a happily married man and a father to four children, one fine day when an astrologer predicts that a person from his family is going to lose their life, his wife dies. Years later, a brawl between the children snaps ties with their father. In the present, Eeswaran, the most loved man of the town, is looking after Periyasamy. Periyasamy is longing to meet his family, especially his grandchildren. Eeswaran now has a task to complete; making Periyasamy's long desire come true.
The above synopsis has been the template of a lot of rural-based movies from Tamil Cinema, and even the twist in the story or the revelation of a character has been very predictable. Director Suseenthiran has stuck to this routine template by adding an abstract of the current pandemic. In terms of story or screenplay, there is nothing fresh in this movie, but for the Simbu fans, they have a well-presented platter of whatever they require for satisfying their appetite. For a commercial entertainer movie, the writers keep in mind several mannerisms to display the 'Mass' of the central character. In Eeswaran, Simbu just has to snap his fingers or even his toes to exhibit his 'Mass'. In Simbu's recent movies, he has never fallen in love with anyone, instead, the female characters fall for him because of his kind-hearted nature, and the same happens in Eeswaran. With cringe-worthy comic scenes stuffed at unwanted places, a protagonist who's just there for the sake of it, and a Simbu who survives after being bitten by a cobra, but still manages to run after and beat the bad guys. Eeswaran is a film filled with clichés and pathetic writing. At the end of the film, there's a dialogue from Simbu to the Protagonist that goes like "If you are the 'Asuran' that have come to destroy, then I'm the 'Eeswaran' that have come to save them", and I can very much relate to this dialogue because I'm the 'Eeswaran' that has come to save you from watching this movie.
