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.

If the movie was released is 2018 or earlier then it was perfect as the script feels too old. The plot of the movie is also predictable from the start itself. Acting vice all actors did a good job but the execution of the movie is poor and old school. It is a decent one time watch movie and does not contain much thrill or plot holes and even if there are some they are predictable with no jaw dropping scenes but nothing illogical. Run time of the movie is also not bad as there are no unnecessary waste of time and everything is to the point and keeps us engaged in the movie even though the plot is predictable.

I saw this movie rating was dropped below 6 on second day of release , but after 2 days 100s of 10 rating pumped in to make the rating high !!

BGM by Rahul raj and editing by shameer has done some justice. Nadhirsha making is decent that's all.

Main issue is after 15-20 mins when Jayasurya appear, rest of the story is too predictable. Not much suspense left. Jafar and Jayasurya done decent job. The baby actress Akshara was excellent. Others are fine

May be due to covid they could not shoot elaborately. That is quite visible thru out.

If you like Jayasurya Jafar Nadhirsha , you could give it a try!

The movie keeps u interested but there have been many such movies in the past. It's a one time watchable movie. Jayasurya and Jaffer did their roles perfectly . Majority of the movie is shot at one particular location that is around an ATM square. The movie sends out the same message as Sai Pallavi's Gargi on Sony LIV. The movie moves at a bit slow pace especially during the interactions of Jayasurya and Jaffer. Namitha Pramod has a very limited role . I felt the storyline could have been a bit more better with more twists and the writer could have added few more charecters into the film. I am giving 6/10 for this film.
