Meanwhile serial of murders take place but all the dead has a relation in the apartment complex where Ramya resided. Also, all the death end up in watery graves. Vasu gets the shock of his life during the course of investigation.Finally his investigation leads to some startling facts as he starts seeing the ghost of Ramya.

In the second half of the movie Ramya's spirit  uses her sister Divya as a medium to reveal the truth about her death. Ramya tells that his husband Balakrishnan killed her because of the jealousy that he has connections with another guy who used to visit her frequently in the apartment. At the climax  Ramya's spirit takes revenge on Balakrishnan and he is handed over to police for killing his wife.

Musical score by Thaman are fine, but he could’ve tried tuning different melodies. All the songs sound much similar to each other. But he does a good job in background score. Hats off to cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa for his stunning cinematography. The film’s tone in blue goes much by the theme of dark and gloomy. But graphics seems to be much overloaded in certain shots, particularly with always seen dark clouds.

Songs:

* The movie has three songs and one theme music.
*  "Saaral En Saaral" song is Thaman's masterpiece in the album. Amazing to listen to, the song gets its life thanks to Ranjith's voice and beautifully  harmony by Thaman.
* "Tharai Erangiya" song sung by Suchitra provides a unique feel to listeners, a feel of drenching in the rain. The rhythm and orchestration is the USP of the song.
* "Mazhaiye Mazhaiye" song written by Viveka and sung by Ranjith is one of the melody in the movie.

Eeram is a must watch movie for all those who are waiting to watch a horror movie in tamil after a long gap.Eeram  lives up to its theme – all is wet and watery in the film from the first frame till the last.The movie crossed about  $1 million.
