An urban dark tale.

Although the premise in Easan is urban, its quintessential sensibilities are very definitely bucolic and Sasikumar's gimlet-eyed exploration of the subject warrants a special mention. Sasi has you in perplexity as to what the genre of the film is going to be. The slow and ambiguous narration also te...(more)

Hard Hitting, worth a watch.

The basic plot of Easan is simple, predictable and even clichéd but it is that presentation and performances of all characters big and small that makes the film watchable.

A dark tale with some interesting twists.

It's Samuthirakani all the way: he looks fit and perfect for the role. Vaibhav, Abhinaya are not far behind either. Sasikumar's knack of choosing the perfect star cast is definitely an asset. James Vasanthan's music is one of the biggest highlights of the film. S.R.Kathiir's camerawork is brilliant....(more)
