Yaavarum Nalam – Watch it to get your spines Chilled

Movie - Yaavarum Nalam
Production: Big Pictures
Direction: Vikram Kumar
Star-casts: Madhavan, Neethu Chandra, Hari Nair, Ameetha, Sachin Khanderkar, Ravi Babu and many others.
Music: Shankar-Ehasan-Loy
Cinematography: P.C. Sriram
PRO: Johnson It’s completely off-the-wall from the director’s take off with ‘Alai’. A film that was supposed to be an entertainer turned to be a pathetic piece of work. Perhaps, working all throughout these years, he has brimmed with an extraordinary horror that none of our Kollywood filmmakers attempted to do.
Synopsis
Manohar (Madhavan) and his elder brother (Hari) with all their best efforts buy a new house-apartment on loan. Manohar’s wife (Neethu Chandra), brother’s wife (Ameetha), their kids, sister and mega-serial maniac mom (Saranya) are all elated about their new house.
Things are so fine and happily moving until a new television serial ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ commences on a satellite channel. The ladies who are so attached to the serial don’t realize that whatever happens there is turning into reality amongst them in their own families. When Manohar spots this out accidentally, he’s off with high and low tides of fear.
On the pars, he’s so satisfied that everything is so favorable to him that his brother gets promotion, his sister with long-time arrears scoring first-class marks and most of all his wife getting pregnant.
But, he’s not aware about the following episodes that will pull him upside down with unbelievable shocks. Yeah! He discovers that the serial is getting telecasted only in his house…
Performance:
Madhavan is extraordinary on his show. Be it the scenes where he romances with his wife or the scariest part of dealing the hardest situation, he is outstanding. Neethu Chandra, Saranya and other actors have done their best. Especially Ravi Babu as Cop dominates all throughout second half, makes you laugh at many parts.
Direction:
Vikram has carefully penned each and every shot so perfectly that it has proportions of comedy, romance, fun and frolic. It really makes us doubt was he the same filmmaker who made a film ‘Alai’.
Technical Aspects:
P.C. Sriram spells the best with his top-notching cinematography. Maybe, he wants to reveal his touch of shaking camera. But that doesn’t fit the screen all the time as it distracts the audiences. Background score by Tubbi Parik is mind-boggling while the songs Shankar-Ehasan-Loy are perfectly done. The melodies and the jazzy numbers are good when it goes with the best technical shows. Sreekar Prasad’s editing is crisp adding to the visual enhancement on the screen.
Final Take:
It’s the first ever film here we get to see that Technical and Narrative aspects are dominating the actors on the screens. Of course, though the actors have done a splendorous job, it’s the gripping screenplay with lots of twists and turns, best cinematography, editing and sound mixing, background score that dominates throughout the film.
Verdict: Don’t miss it at any cost..
