Yaaradi Nee Mohini – Review

What a poetic title is what all i could say !  Of course when you have some one like Nayanthara in the movie this gets even prettier and more apt. I wonder how Selvaraghavan is able to come up with such a pretty romantic script with out any sort of eccentricity as his movie is known for.Yaaradi … is a feel good movie,an absolute family entertainer.

The story is pretty simple– boy falls in love with gal — gal denies it coz she already engaged –hero has a friend — and obvious the friend would have been engaged to the gal the boy loved– and finally the friend would give way for love .

But the screen play actually saves the movie for the most part.The humor that has been laced through out is the strong forte of movie.

Danush once again plays the role of a carefree youth, has actually delivered one hell of a performance. Have no words to describe his flawless performance which has the right mix of everything right from humor,body language , dialogs delivery  to showing off emotions.

Nayanthara looks ravishing on the screen .Words should have fallen in place for the lyricist easily when needed to write a song about her beauty.But her performance lacks substance and doesn’t seem to be natural at least in the first half .

The on screen chemistry between the lead pair is actually pretty good.

Sad to see raghuvaran in his last movie , he has excelled in the role.His body language in the movie shows the ailing actor’s health actually.The sweet interludes between  dad and  son is narrated impeccably.

The most pitiest guy in the movie is Karthik who is the friend of Danush engaged to Nayan . Come on people , give him some good roles , he’s capable actor . He again plays the role similar to Alaipayuthaey , Kanda Naal Mudhal.

The music by Yuvan actually lacks the magical touch for a Selva’s movie .Both Yuvan/director has to be beaten right , left and center for having let Udit Narayan sing a song the most horrible way.Alteast teach him tamil for the sake of hopeless soul who are tuning their ears to listen for the songs.

The pick of the album for me is O..Baby , an item song with a strong love feeling .Nice attempt actually. There is one song which i’m not sure whether remixed from yester-year movies , but actually was quite entertaining to watch.All other songs are OK.

The movie has Selva’s touch at places . One instant is when Nayan asks Danush whether her sister looks prettier than her and holding his hand saying ‘Feeling a lot better…’.And the dad-son bonding is actually the second time selva has shown it after 7/G in the most impressive way .What i wished is for more of the romance between the lead pair than getting into the usual family kinda of senti grudge.There are few instances which are quite natural and handled wonderfully but some are superficial and way out of normalcy.

The most anguishing fact is the way how IT environment has been portrayed in the movie. It can’ t get stupid than this . Too much of exaggeration.It actually evokes a loud laughter from the folks who  work for the same.

Another disturbing stuff is the way how the lady love’s character sketched these days in movies.The guy loves a gal , she denies it for some reason . The hero gets overboard over the denial. It’s so disturbing to see the choice of words spoken by these heroes blaming gals for some stupid reasons even when the gal is not reprehensible in anyway .And for how long in tamil movies , the gal changes her mind the previous night of her wedding. Common people gimme a break !

Overall the movie is quite entertaining for the most part.

Strongly recommended to be watched with family 🙂
