Savithri as SJ Suryah’s romantic interest makes a sterling debut. Meanwhile, SJ Suryah also has managed to deliver a good performance as a budding, whimsical and hotheaded music composer. There are morally offensive dialogues in the film which are quite integral to the film, but Sathyaraj has pulled it off with his winning skills. Any actor would think twice and more actors would frown without batting an eyelid to do this performance which spews venom at every scene in the film. Especially two scenes between his conversations with Ganja Karuppu when he serves him coffee and Azhagam Perumal when he performs him a musical note with the word thooo.
As a baddie Vetri Selvan, he plays to his absolute strengths – sinister dialogue delivery and reciting lines with utmost ease. Isai is undoubtedly Sathyaraj’s career-best performance. How the stodg, jealous-filled Sathyaraj, who stays in the outskirts of the city after being unable to fathom the towering stardom of SJ Suryah who sweeps the music scene with clear domination in just two years of his debut, manages to accept this tumultuous transition for the story. SJ Suryah straight away moves into the storyline by providing us simple examples like these and adds that Isai is about a musical legend Vetri Selvan (Sathyaraj) who has an unrivalled foothold in the industry for over 30 years until his assistant Shiva (SJ Suryah) takes the music scene in the industry by storm upon getting a chance from a director who Vetri Selvan was closely associated with earlier. Like how Gavasakar took over Kapildev, how MGR was taken over by Kalaignar, how AR Rahman took over Ilaiayaraja and so forth. Isai starts with SJ Suryah’s voice over which says how legends across various fields – sports and arts, confront generation facelifts which is quite natural. His earlier films stand testimony to this fact. In fact, SJ Suryah has an uncanny knack of narrating the entire story in a simple three-four line format but still manages to keep the ante throughout the film. The film starts with SJ Suryah’s narration as is the customary in his films. The film also marked the musical debut of SJ Suryah. The film was stuck in post production delay and finally saw the light of day this week.
After nine years of absence in the industry, SJ Suryah has managed to make a comeback in his Isai, which was about to release for a long time.
