Yaanai

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Zee5

Same templated Hari's story with Arun Vijay. Same joint family, same feud, same wiser son in the family, same family separation, same revenge and same message in climax. The template is sincerely followed in this movie also. But the presentation is not boring as the template, in this place Hari wins.

The casting is good, only Rajesh is bit out of sync. There is some solid message and it spilled in lot of dialogs. But not told boldly, the cast message was just as masala factor for the story. If he added different premise than "thamiraparani", this would have better one. It was like watching thamiraparani movie again.

Yaanai got to be one of my fav ArunVijay movie now. Definitely a good comeback for dir Hari after his disaster Saamy2. The only let down were the songs. Other than that everything else was good. ArunVijay nailed his roles, he was lit during the action scenes 💥

After a very long break watched movie that really made my day.. what a feel good movie. Hari with his trade mark making and acting from crew was outstanding. No negatives about the film, i'd pay to watch movies in this genre than any. Again, please watch.

It highlights some social ills and encourages people to live as human beings beyond caste, religion and hatred. It is amazing how every major scene in the movie is captured in one shot. In contrast to previous films, Director Hari has slowed down a bit with overly sentimental scenes .

One more time???????

In the last 20 years - nothing has changed in Hari movies. Good to follow a trend but atleast the scenes should be different - Hari has failed to produce a new product. He just copied his ideas and script again.

Ofcourse the same formula but it's not a crime to follow it - but atleast it must be interesting. Even director visu followed a same trend his whole lifetime but the script had that much weight and his career worked well. When Hari want to apply the same - he needs to go with the latest acceptable version. No matter every family have problems and people show hatred against one and people do love another one - but to build scenes, it must be to the present day happenings - but Yaanai showed the same ideas share in Thamirabarani, arul and his own.

Nothing special to say - one more cliche movie. I won't complain the format as we live in the same society and can't blame the format is old - the plot alone is old.

Arun Vijay - out of track PBS - cute and lovely as a college girl.

Yogi Babu - dummy Samudhrakani - Same cliche big brother role Garudan - Waste being powerful Ammu Abirami - good to be under valued GV - happy to hear his music and his job neatly done Camera - Hari miss Priyan a lot.. Action - Too much of single take attempts - not thrilled enough.
