| Review
by : Behindwoods review board |

| Starring:
Cheran, Dipa Shah
Direction:
Mysskin
Music:
Krishna Kumar @ K
Production:
Kalpathi S Agoram
When
there is a confluence of creative energies
from the likes of Mysskin, Cheran and
Ameer, the expectations are bound to soar
up to stratospheric levels especially
with Mysskin who is fresh from basking
in the glory of his recent Nandalala.
In this AGS production venture, Mysskin
has chosen the crime and detection genre
with Cheran as the protagonist steering
the cast.

J
K (Cheran) is the honest CB-CID officer who is distressed
when his sister Charu goes missing suddenly. When
he is about to resign his job on her search, his superior
hands him a sensational and a high profile assignment
that requires untangling a case wherein severed and
neatly packed body parts are continuously found in
strategic places in the city. This trail takes Cheran
to various people and places, and the link to his
sister, culminating in many unprecedented twists and
turns on the way.
What
works for Yudham Sei is its linear narration and effective
screen play. There are no unwanted elements in the
form of comedy tracks or romantic angles. Mysskin
has veered clear off the expected syntax of Tamil
films of such genre. He has handled this subject with
a few forensic aspects thrown in. The larger part
of the film keeps the audience guessing and in suspense.
He has also managed to tell his story with little
known artists which requires appreciation.
In the performance department, brevity seems to be
the key word with Cheran who scores by delivering
a subtle portrayal. Jayaprakash gives him good support,
although appearing for a short while. Y Gee Mahendra,
a tonsured Lakshmi Ramakrishna, Dipa Shah, Selva and
Naren form part of the supporting cast and provide
the necessary foil.
Under newcomer Kay’s music, Kannitheevu Penna
alone finds its place in the film where the much talked
about ‘Yellow sari’ clad Neetu Chandra
cavorts with Ameer and ‘blink and you miss’
Charu Niveditha. Mysskin tries to duck the complaint
of this particular cliché of his by placing
a relevant incident at the end of the ditty. Kay’s
RR is sometimes perfect, delivering the right kind
of mood for the film whereas in a few sequences it
stands out obtrusively. Sathyan’s prying camera
peeps, thrills, and gives the needed feel.
A genre such as this should have a frenzied pace to
keep the viewer on the edge of the seat but Mysskin
misses the bus here with a languorous mode of unfolding
events. This could work for an emotional drama but
a certain amount of pace which is required for thrillers
is a casualty in YS. Besides that, the climax scene
is the antithesis of all the tone and mood that was
set in the entire film with characters behaving in
a dramatic and non-Mysskinish manner.
Verdict: A slow paced well made thriller.
