Isai - Ambitious Drama
As a filmmaker Isai brings to the forefront the strongpoints of S.J.Suryah. The central line of his films always revolves around human emotions. Despite the numerous questions we have with the way the conflict has been dealt with, the drama works well for the most part thanks to the ease with which...(more)

SJ Surya style glamour, humor, dialogues and power packed performances with a little twist in the end!
Climax is what makes or breaks a movie ! The satisfaction from a climax directly depends on the process it puts the subjects through.

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.
