Yamakaathaghi

This movie is good in its treatment of social issue like honor killing in a different way. How the soul refuses to leave this worldd after death without the world knowing why?

It is really heart breaking movie but it is not preachy or too tear jerking movie. It is balanced and the rural setting is fantastic ic. The film is director debut but it doesn't look like it. Heroine Roopa is fantastic and so the rest of the caste. And the women takes more central stage in this movie. Overall a good movie.

It might seem the movie is bit slow and first few minutes seems like things moving in many directions with lots of characters and situations going on but it suddenly start makes sense once the death happens. Definitely worth watching.

✅ Fresh Concept - A unique mix of rural realism and supernatural mystery, rare in Tamil cinema.

✅ Strong Performances - The heroine delivers a decent, emotionally layered performance, while the actress playing her mother steals the show with her raw portrayal of grief.

✅ Authentic Village Setting - The film stays true to its rural roots, creating an immersive atmosphere.

✅ Engaging Mystery - The slow-burn investigation keeps you hooked, though some pacing issues exist.

Final Verdict "Yamakaathaghi" is a decent supernatural drama with strong performances and a refreshing rural backdrop. While not flawless, it's worth watching for its emotional depth and eerie atmosphere.

Recommended for: Fans of slow-burn supernatural films, rural dramas, and folklore-based mysteries.

A never touched subject forms the core plot supported by a very gripping screenplay. Director has made a brave attempt in taking the funeral home as the centre stage and creatively added several layers and details to make the movie a compelling watch. It is a shame that this movie was not celebrated in media, critics and general audience. If you are a fan of quality content then this movie will definitely exceed your expectations for a typical supernatural thriller. Village rituals around funeral is so authentic that you will become one of the villagers. Mystery around the reason for the spirits adamancy was unfolded in a novel way and everytime the spirit is shown it stirs you to the core and the facial expressions from the female lead were top notch. Even after the movie ends and credits start rolling, the scene of the spirit levitating in air will haunt us for a long time. Definitely an award worthy acting by lead female artist, impeccable direction and gripping screenplay. Kudos to the entire team and expecting another gem from you soon.

Every once in a while we get movies like this which has a simple story told in an unique way.. To begin with I didn't know this movie existed.. It was on Aha OTT and wanted to spend some time watching soemthing before going out on a week end..

For the first 20 minutes of the film, I never had a sense of watching a movie.. It wasn't moving anywhere and the over all visuals made me feel like it's a TV serial rather than a movie.. I wanted to switch to something else but still gave it a try.. Surprisingly, when the lead actress herself dies, I wanted to know what's happening..

Oh my.. What an unique way of story telling.. I guessed the reason ,to an extent, for her death at least 50 minutes away but still it was unique.. The climax scene was emotional..

It's a movie with low visuals, CGI which is non-existent, a simple plot, but an unique way of story telling.. If this story was made with some top tier actors and grand visuals, it would surely have been a box office blockbuster..

It's been long time that I am seen a movie like this after balagam movie this is the emotional dramatic movie I ever seen .

Absolutely amazing I loved it .

Everyone Watch it! There is a worth of watching this movie mostly indian who still believe on caste and religion.

It changes everyone's mind.
