S.J surya’s Isai

Balaajee,

Yes I watched the film ISAI. Not quite impressed with the film. SJ Surya can do much better than ISAI movie, but it was definitely better than 'Komaram Puli'. Apart from his trade mark film making esp. the opening song & the way of exploring a seed of thought, the film did not convince me much.

Performances of both SJS and Sathyaraj. (For SJS, the hospital scene was the best and for SR, the scene when he advises SJS

)
Comedy
2nd half screenplay

-ves

Length
Boring romance sequences
Too many references to IR

(Whats the song which SR says Karuppu sang before a year? Sounded like an IR song)
Climax

I think that is "Panneeril nanaindha pookal.." which is not a IR song..

When it comes to SJS, I have a greater opinion about him as a film maker. In Isai, I can see only a mashed up events with few tried and tired rounds like "snake-bite-hero-near-water-fall" or "fingers-touch-while-serving-milk" etc. Plus the 2 basic aspects of the film were not so original - The whole drama around SJS is 'The Truman Show' and the climax which is lauded by many, some even went to an extent of saying it was path breaking, is nothing but Nicolas Cage's 'Next'. Mix them both and you get Isai, and thats what I did not expect from SJS after these many years.

I did not find the 'comedy' tickling, and considered it as lags as it did not serve any purpose. Also it was not played properly giving the whole scenario an akward shape. The SJS I am talking about can be seen in the SR shaving scene.

And no, my view about the film has nothing to do with IR. IR/ARR connection seeked only my mildest attention. Here SJS has given equal imortance to them - IR as a chain smoker and ARR as honey collector - and gave each of them something to suck with.

Isai, for me, is Out of Tune.
