Yamakaathaghi

Emakathagi is a film that takes its time, and that works in its favor. The story unfolds gradually, with the reveal of the protagonist's death handled in a subtle, almost understated way. It doesn't rely on dramatic twists-it lets the emotion build slowly.

The suicide mystery angle is approached with care. By the time the story reaches its climax, it feels genuinely emotional without being overly sentimental. The film uses metaphor and symbolism effectively, without overcomplicating things.

It's not a loud or fast-paced film, but it leaves a mark. The atmosphere, the pacing, and the emotional undercurrent all come together well. I gave it a 10/10 because I appreciate when a film is confident enough to be quiet, and still say something meaningful.

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.

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.

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.

Truth is divine - it manifests either as coincidence or as a deliberate incident.

This film beautifully captures the journey of a woman, not just through her personal struggles, but also against the broader backdrop of politics, caste discrimination, and deeply rooted old-school ideologies. It's rare to see such a multi-layered narrative that doesn't shy away from showing uncomfortable truths - and it does so with honesty and grace.

Unfortunately, I missed the chance to experience it on the big screen, and that's something I truly regret. Films like these deserve to be celebrated in theatres, but even if we miss that opportunity, we must support them on OTT platforms. By doing so, we send a strong message to the industry - that audiences value content with depth, courage, and meaning. Only then can we hope for more such powerful stories to be told.
