The gist of the story is how Vetri Selvan a cold blooded music director makes his arch rival AK Shiva to hallucinate and finally end up in a mental asylum.Īs a film, 'Isai' has many drawbacks especially the prolonged romance or sleaze (for most of the audience) portions in the first half really tests our patience. The film is about jealousy and ego issues when a big time music director finds his prot?g? eclipsing him in his field. The rest of the film is all about Sathyaraj?s grudge against SJ Suryah as the former takes away all the chances and pride of the latter. Vetri Selvan (Sathyaraj), a music wizard loses his market upon the rise of his prot?g? AK Shiva (SJ Suryah), whom the industry calls as ? Isai Kadal?. Just like 'Kushi', the film starts with a voice-over-narration where Suryah tells the gist of the movie with various top shot celebrities in the title card, who lost every little enjoyment in their life to reach their goals.
Suryah?s 'Isai' is just like reading a psychological novel, having said that the film can?t be compared with normal template Tamil movie. The director has the knack of engaging storytelling technique with so many poignant moments. Watching the writer-director who has given few memorable hits in the past is always an endearing experience, though as an actor and music director he barely passes the muster. It is something different, packaged along with the usual sleaze and hyperbole associated with his films. After many years, SJ Suryah is back with 'Isai'.
