Eesho

The oddly-titled Eesho benefits from the solid performances of Jayasurya and Jaffer Idukki, but the storytelling style is a major letdown. The script doesn't carry even a tiny bit of suspense, and the average thriller-viewer should be able to decipher every twist and turn in the plot very easily. Nadirshah harks back to a hot button issue he presented in his first film Amar Akbar Anthony, and this time, chooses to give it a more serious treatment. But Eesho fails as a thriller because its plot beats have absolutely nothing new to offer. Roby Varghese Raj's visuals give the night scenes a very saturated look, making these portions somewhat more interesting (at least to look at!). Rahul Raj's score is strictly average.

Nadirshah is a familiar name to Malayalee who appreciates humor and parody. When he started making movies few years back, naturally we expected the genre which he is well versed with. However, in Amar Akbor Anthony, he told us a story which was of social relevance, and it was appreciated. Now again Nadirshah has come out with another subject socially relevant today - Defection of witness is cases especially in high profile sexual abuse and murder. Movie is a very good watch and leaves an impact in minds of general public. Role of Jayasurya is not a challenging one for him though there are instances where he has done exceptionally well. Notable character is Jaffar Idukki. Over last few years he is becoming one among the finest actors of Malayalam industry. I won't be surprised if he bags a state level award or national award soon. Director has left some room for suspense but not to the level of a thriller. Background score is soothing though I have felt that the music of the only song is a repetition of director's older movies.

Suspenseful thriller, good for a one-time watch. Quite easy for one to guess the ending of the film. We might feel the plot was lost in between but maintains it almost ok till the end. Climax is not that great and could have made much better. Acting was average, we have recently seen better one's recently from Jayasurya and Jaffar idukki. Disappointed that few of the scenes were very irrelevant to the plot, but added for giving small roles to actors. Namitha pramod looked out of place for her come back movie. Film is only 1 hr and 45 minutes, still time is spent in showing news clipping not very relevant to this film.

Just one time watch. Direction was not upto to the mark as compared to first 2 films of Nadrishah. Jayasuriya performance have Mohan Lal style. Normal story. Society related issue director bought. Jafar good performance. All actors performed well. Songs ok.

I would say its 1 time watch. Predictable story.

The story and climax can be made better. Feels some lag and poor direction in between.

I would give 5 out 10. The making was good. There were no bore elements. Some places felt lag. The cons of the movie was that the scenes of Jayasuriya and Jafar was too long. It would have been in small period.

Yet its a 1 time watch.

The plot is weak because it seems unreal that justice can be possibly served so smoothly and easily. It seems very wrong shown a woman committing suicide with her kid for no fault of theirs and having a loving caring husband not disclosing anything with him. It's not justified promoting women giving in so easily letting the real culprits carrying on with the crime. The movie in short especially in the end gives a very strong message how news and social media make up stories with out any evidence and people believe it. With just a piece of paper with name & phone number of stranger can his get name involved in a racket by the media. The lead actor looks very good with beard he should keep one and acted well though I watched the hindi dubbed voice which was better than his real voice in malayalam.. Though the plot is weak but the movie was well made to keep you involved entertained not getting bored. It is recommended.
