Yutham Sei (2011) ** 1/2

Myskin has preset style which he cant change, he is refining himself in that style rather not trying any thing else. I could predict the core of the movie right from the word go that its going to be a cheap pleasures of high society like he did in his other movies. I sincerely think he should take different inspirations for his movies apart from women being exploited ,kidnapped and saved.

Yutham sei is a much refined movie with respect to his performance and his work. But he tries to put forth a compulsive scary camera before audience which gets repeated in all his movie with a violin background. Yutham sei is an investigation about serial killings which happens in the city. J.Krishnamoorthy a underplayed CBCID cop is handed over with the responsibility to go behind the killings who is in his personal agony of his sisters whereabouts who went missing mysteriously. Things get connected so shockingly but it makes tougher for the cops to locate where the real culprit of the serial killer lies . Yutham sei brings lots of scary atmosphere to the viewers in terms of practices and in terms of happenings around the city.

The truth behind the movie is Myskin’s strength and the fact behind the script is his success. Myskin handles both of it in his own style which looks much more better than in Anjathey. But some how the motive behind the killings looks indefinite of not finishing and terminating .Myskin could have little bit more worked on his script which would have made him create a intelligent movie. But the movie is definitely compelling and gripping and I bet we would not watched a thriller in Tamil cinema as this sort of intensity in the recent times . I felt he has tried to mask the spoofs through the visuals and mysterious movements of his characters. Climax disappointed me totally, there is an unconvincing non motivated display which makes you forget the whole brilliance which we see through out the movie. The melodramatic ? or the motive driven professional investigation ? Myskin should have convinced himself before ending it as such. Because the story unfolds in lots of aspects and it has definitely made the second part of the movie blunt when compared to razor sharp first half.

Cheran is impressive, First time I see him less spoken and very well underplayed. He is a no nonsense actor and it shows in every frame. I am becoming a very big fan of Jayaprakash who plays the doctor .There are lots of debutant actors as always in Myskin movies who give a fantastic performance. Camera of Sathyan is the biggest star in the movie.Movie traverses with his camera and he has delivered a intense stuff. Some how the BGM of Myskin is very very predictable, which is actually spoiling the expectation I draw towards this director. Every character has a story to tell and we definitely get a tongue-tied feeling about their past which has become monotonous with Myskin’s script.

Myskin is a stuff and he is well read .He displays that in all his movies. For the sake of respect which is gaining nowadays , I would want him to break his jinx and sentiments towards yellow sarees and animatic stunt scenes . It would definitely be very satisfying if the director comes up with different motives other than women and being exploited by men. Some how this spoils the whole expectation that I have on Myskin. And last it would be great to see Myskin with a script , motives and characters not resembling his previous scripts .

Rating : ** 1/2
