SJ Suryah, Savithri, Sathyaraj, Ganja Karuppu, Thambi Ramaiah, GhibranDirection: SJ SuryahGenre: ThrillerDuration: 3 hours 10 minutes
A once-successful veteran is envious of the success that his one-time assistant as a music director and plots to bring him down by ruining both his career and life.
Movie Review: Isai begins with a voice-over that tells us the film will show us what jealousy can do to a genius. And it dives straight into the plot. AK Shiva is the new hotshot film composer in town and the man he has dethroned, Vetrichelvan, who was ruling the scene for 30 years, is enraged by his success. He is the Mozart to Vetrichelvan's Salieri. Earlier in the film, we get a scene that is similar to the one in Pudhu Pudhu Arthangal — Vetrichelvan is signing autographs but when Shiva turns up, the fans rush to him leaving him all alone. The man is so consumed by rage that he goes and murders the director who gave Shiva his big break! And because of this rage, he is unable to play music and so decides to ruin his rival's life and career. For this, he hatches a plot to mess up with Shiva's mind and drive him insane.
SJ Suryah is one director who goes to any extent to keep his audience entertained. And, in Isai, he opens up his bag of tricks after a gap of 10 years and shows that he has still got his groove. There is an exaggerated quality to the performances, shot compositions and the score (he makes his debut as a composer here)
