Eesha story revolves around four friends who experiences mysterious happenings after they try to challenge the blind beliefs. Nayana (Hebah Patel) following an incident in her house, along with her friends Kalyan (Thrigun), Vinay(Akhil Raj), Aparna (Siri Hanmanth) decides to expose the fake people who try to take people for a ride cashing on their blind beliefs about witchcraft. Where this leads to and what role famous surgeon Adidev (Prithviraj) play form rest of the developments.
All the actors performed according to their roles. Thrigun, Hebah Patel, Akhil Raj, Siri Hanmanth, Prithveeraj perfomed according to the story. They expressed and emoted well as per their characters. There is nothing to rave about but all of them after a point of time, just passed through the motions.
Eesha story is penned by Srinivas Manne. He tried to come up with a horror thriller to scare viewers. He starts the narration in an interesting manner but with in free minutes, he decided that his main aim is to create fear and scare viewers with sounds and visuals.
He didn't pay attention to the story and just passed time with loud background music and Cinematography for the entire part. The story went for a toss and screenplay and direction just became average. The predictable elements and lack of real story, spoiled the intentions of the director.
Dhruvan with his background music created the desired impact to increase the fear factor. He elevated the scenes with his sound creation.
The Cinematography of Santosh Sanamoni showed the scenes as required by the story. He showed the scenes mostly in the night in an effective manner using the camera angles quite well.
Vinai Ramasamy V's ending is in sync with the story but there are many repetitive scenes. He couldn't be faulted as the film's story turned out to be weak. Dialogues are just ok.
Production values of HVR Productions is good.
Altogether, Eesha turns out to be just another run of the mill horror entertainer. Director Rajesh Manne tried to come up with a horror story with a spiritual and emotional touch in the end. But the weak story, slow narration brought down the good work of the cinematography and background music. The screenplay and direction failed in important parts. The makers should have worked on the script for a better impact. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating for Eesha.
