Eeswaran evaluation: An outdated movie

Director Suseenthiran had courted controversy throughout the audio launch of his newest film Eeswaran. He was criticized for the best way he behaved with Nidhhi Agerwal on the stage. He badgered her to say candy issues about Simbu, the lead actor of the movie. And in the event you thought that it was only a lapse of judgment on Suseenthiran’s half, you would possibly change your opinion after you watch Eeswaran. The film is nothing however a two-hour-long verbal and visible circulate of cues that reinforce the patriarchal view of ladies’s subservient position to males in a household.
Take, for instance, Nidhhi Agerwal’s character. She is a well-educated trendy lady. But, her character doesn’t mirror the aspirations of a woman of 2021. She is upset along with her elder sister, performed by Nandita Swetha, as a result of she married another person after breaking apart with Eeswaran (Simbu).
Confused. Here’s the again story.
Eeswaran and Nandita’s character had been in love three years in the past. But, their whirlwind romance hits a dead-end, when their aspirations don’t match. Eeswaran desires to spend the remainder of his life within the service of his father Periyasamy (Bharathiraja), however Nandita’s character desires one thing else. They each half methods. She will get married to another person and strikes on along with her life. But, Nidhhi’s character form of feels that her sister betrayed Eeswaran and desires to get again at her by flirting with him. How may one justify such a behaviour of a younger lady? Why can’t Suseenthiran think about a sensible lady who can act and communicate on her personal phrases? Why ought to a number one girl bend over backwards to ingratiate herself to the hero?
And then, there’s the stream of sweeping generalizations uttered by Simbu that takes us again to his previous films when he behaved like he had a terrific authority with reference to love and break-ups. Different variations of “girls are like that only, bro” discover a place in Eeswaran. The solely factor you are able to do is slap your head in disbelief that you’re nonetheless watching such stuff in 2021.

Simbu confronted a variety of ridicule when he turned chubby. Later, he went on a strict vegan food plan and adopted a multidisciplinary exercise regime to knock out all the additional kilos and get again to his previous form. So he had the first-hand expertise of what it means to be body-shammed. It can’t be nice in spite of everything. But, in Eeswaran, he laughs when his niece body-shames his overweight good friend. It appears apart from his body-weight, Simbu hasn’t modified a lot.
All this movie manages to do is reinforce outdated views on all issues beneath the solar.
