Spoilers ahead…
Text:
Eeswaran is set in a village in Dindigul where Periyasamy (Bharathiraja) is a patriarch. A tragedy strikes him at a very young age and over time his children move to Chennai. They’re all all fighting each other due to money issues. What brings Periyasamy’s four children back to their village is the pandemic. So, you could call Eeswaran a historically important film, in a way. It’s the first Tamil masala film that has the pandemic as a part of the plot. But that doesn’t mean that the rest of the film has anything new to offer.

Does Simbu still even have a market? Do these movies make even their capital back? Are these movies tax write off scams? Do people still watch 1980’s era village themed movies?
So. Many. Questions

Is it just me, or Simbu’s hairdo resembles the one Rajini sported in the 90s?

“Suseenthiran’s ‘Eeswaran’, starring Silambarasan, is a…”
Is the incomplete sentence deliberate in that the film is so generic you can’t be bothered to even describe it?

Could never understand the hype regarding bharathiraja’s acting. He may be a good director but i have always felt he is a very bad actor. He was way over the top and i kept thinking what an actor like prakashraj could have done with this role.

gnanaozhi: Of course these films are still popular. The career of Pandiraj is testament to this. He is one of ghe biggest directors now.
ravenus1: Hahaha. Thank you for the big laugh on a Monday morning.

Seems like Simbu has been phoning it in the last few years or has had some personal issues, considering the quality of his films and the shenanigans he caused during the filming of AAA. What was his last hit?

Eeswaran is also historically important because there is no corporate villain. Sultan and Boomi are turning in their Hotstar graves.
