Description: The story of *Eeswaran* (2021) unfolds in Palani, where Periyasamy, a humble farmer, lives a peaceful life with his wife Paapathi and their children. Their lives take a tragic turn when the family astrologer, Kaali, accurately predicts past and future events. On the same day, as foretold, Paapathi suffers a fatal accident at home. Years later, Periyasamy’s children move to Chennai for work, leaving him alone in the village. He eagerly awaits visits from his children and grandchildren.
A young man named Eeswaran enters Periyasamy’s life as a caretaker and foster son. Eeswaran is resourceful and well-connected, often interacting with influential figures in the state. When Periyasamy’s children return to the village for Paapathi’s 25th death anniversary, the COVID-19 pandemic forces the country into lockdown. Periyasamy is delighted to spend more time with his grandchildren but becomes anxious when Kaali predicts an impending death in the family. Fearing the worst, the family undergoes PCR tests, which fortunately come back negative. However, a doctor informs Eeswaran that Periyasamy’s 13-year-old granddaughter, Diya, has a heart condition requiring surgery. Eeswaran secretly arranges for her surgery to avoid alarming the family.
Complications arise when Eeswaran’s ex-girlfriend Vasuki, now married and one of Periyasamy’s granddaughters, arrives during the lockdown, creating tension between them. The story highlights themes of family, sacrifice, and resilience.
