Oyee (ஒய்)

Oyee is a 2016 Indian Tamil Film directed by Francis Markus.. The film stars Geethan Britto and Eesha in lead roles.

Music: Isaignani Ilayaraaja

The movie is based on 2004 South Korean romantic comedy Too Beautiful to Lie .

 

Shwetha (Eesha) comes out of Trichy prison on parole to attend the wedding of her elder sister (Neelima Rani) and catches a bus to Chennai. He co-passenger is Krish (Geethan) the scion of a Pannayar family of a village who travels to Chennai to meet his lover Gayathri (Babri Gosh). 

Shwetha notices a thief stealing Krish’s jewel and retrieves that from the thief. In the process she misses the bus and her bag. She reaches Krish’s home to handover the jewel but the family members mistake her for Gayathri and make her stay in the home and treat her like a special guest. As, Shwetha learns from her sister that someone is trying to kill her, she uses the mistaken identity and stays in Krish’s home for safety during the parole period. After Krish’s return, the entire family refuses to believe his words and compel him to accept Shwetha as his wife. 

What happens to Krish and his family during Shwetha’s stay and what kind of relationship blossoms between two lead characters has been told in the rest. 

Despite these shortcomings the film cannot be completely written off. Francis does show promise with a few well written scenes that come up with an unexpected turn here and there. The scene where the heroine slaps the hero and turns the table against him is the best example.  

Geethan is pretty adequate for the role of a go-lucky rural youngster. His looks and expressions remind actor Aari. His efforts to pick up Silambattam deserve a mention. Eesha is a promising find who fits well into the character and her emotions are impeccable. If she manages to get powerful roles backed by good scripts, she will sure stay here for long. Arjunan’s attempts make us laugh succeed here and there. Sangili Murugan also adds up well to the comic portions and in emotional scenes he proves his experience as an actor. Babri Gosh looks pretty and has very less scope to perform.
