Yamakaathaghi

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.

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.
