Yaradi Nee Mohini (2008)

My room mates in Chennai love the Telugu version of this movie.I hope they have watched it nearly ten or fifteen times .I have watched the Telugu version in bits and pieces as I was not so curious about the hype.In fact when the Tamil version released we all booked the tickets on the first day to make it a point to compare.They were dissatisfied,But I enjoyed .Result big argument about the movie after we saw the movie .

Yaradi Nee Mohini is directed by Selvaraghavan's assistant Jawahar starring Dhanush as Vasu and Nayanthara as Keerthi.Vasu joins the company where Keerthi is a project Manager.Vasu falls in love before joining the company itself on her and she becomes the only source of motivation for him to get a job.When Vasu proposes Keerthi on a trip to Australia ,Keerthi rejects his proposal as she is engaged.Vasu's father Raguvaran mediates for Vasu to Keerthi,which she puts down before her collegues and insults him.Raguvaran passes away subsequently and Vasu's friend invites him to his village for his marriage hoping him to get a change of mind after his dad's death.Vasu meets Keerthi as the bride to be of his friend.Vasu wins every body's heart and Keerthi's too.Its a mix of DDLJ,Poove unakaha in the climax.

First and foremost thing we see in this movie is the tribute to the great actor whom we missed "Raguvaran".The movie has released just after his death.He is really an amazing performer whom we had missed .His character as Dhanush's father has been shown in many films,still Raguvaran repeated also is amazing.Did he have any intuition about his death ? As the movie plays his death as a intense and depressed scene!!The first half of the movie in the city and the IT company with Dhanush and Raguvaran fighting each other gives a light humour which can be enjoyed whole heartedly,leaving the one day completion of the IT Project which Dhanush performs.Raguvaran at his best !!

Dhanush as an actor has matured well after his recent success ,No one can better him for the character of unemployed carefree guy.He has done it in past and here he excels to one more step.Dhanush rocks till the end and I have really started liking this actor who deserves the opening he got for Yaradi Nee Mohini.If Trisha for Telugu version its Nayanthara,Fresh after the glamour display Billa ,she has performed to the script with a beauty and maturity which any body will like.

There are some inspirational performers in this movie like K.Vishwanath as the Grandpa and Karthik as the friend and music by Yuvan .This is the first time I am hearing the songs and I have to wait for a week whether I am getting the Boom effect of the songs.But for beautiful lines of Na.Muthukumar.Mix of Romance ,Humour , sentiments and corporate culture makes this movie enjoyable for this summer.Some of the scenes at the end were changed from Telugu version but still I don't see a big flaw in making the movie getting extended,What could have been avoided is the length in the beginning of the second half.But for Yaradee Nee Mohini is a descent and a guaranteed entertainer for your weekend.Don't compare this movie if you have watched the Telugu version because you don't have Raguvaran noteworthy performance there.This is Tamil and its identical .

Rating :7.9/10
