The narrative of ‘Eesho’ revolves around Ramachandran Pillai, an ATM security guard whose life takes a drastic turn one rainy night when he encounters a suspicious individual. Pillai unwittingly becomes a target for a powerful businessman after witnessing a sexual assault and preparing to testify in court. As the plot unfolds, a contract killer is hired to eliminate Pillai, leading to a tense game of cat-and-mouse under the cover of darkness. The stage seemed set for a gripping thriller, with the backdrop of a misty night and two central characters facing imminent danger. However, ‘Eesho’ ultimately fails to deliver on its potential.
Jayasurya and Jaffer Idukki put forth commendable efforts to salvage the film with their performances, despite grappling with a flawed script. Their on-screen chemistry manages to captivate the audience momentarily, but supporting actors such as Suresh Krishna, Namitha Pramod, and Johnny Antony are left with little to contribute to the overall narrative.
The attempt to cloak Jayasurya’s character in mystery is hampered by an early revelation regarding his backstory, robbing the film of any potential suspense. One of the few redeeming qualities of ‘Eesho’ is its relatively brief runtime.
In summary, ‘Eesho’ struggles to rise above its mediocre writing and lackluster execution, ultimately succumbing to the pitfalls of a revenge-driven thriller. Jayasurya, known for his talent, would benefit from a more discerning approach to script selection in the future.
