Yaavarum Nalam – Fiestas of Horripilations
Fine! What’s so special with ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ and how does it differ from other horror films?
We’ve the finest answers for you. First of all, it doesn’t carry the most appalling envisages of ghostly creatures jumping across the rooms, a disembodied arm pulling down a victim. Precisely, a psychiatrist Vs Rishi going on for a debate of ‘Spiritualities’ Vs ‘Medical Science’ and finally good winning over the bad. Alas! We were so fed up with jinxing factors that’s no scarier even for a small kid.
Yaavarum Nalam – It may get you bit dragging and of course you may make fun over the clichéd happenings for few earlier parts. But mark our words; things will be completely vice-versa on the latter half that sends you high-and-low, chilling your spines.
Manohar (Madhavan) and his elder brother (Hari Nair) with all their earnest works, buy a new apartment house on loans. It’s a happy family where their mega-serial buff mom (Saranya), their wives (Manohar’s wife is Neethu Chandra while Ameetha is Hari’s brother and their kids). Wow! What a pleasant ambience and you will feel how sweet it would have been if we were one amongst them.
If so, please spare few minutes for you’ll witness the heart-breaking, edge-seated twists and turns when a TV serial named ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ in which the same scenario of a happy family entering into their dream house is telecasted. Well, now things are topsy-turvilier entangled as everything over there on the screens turns into reality.
Would Manohar turn aware about this or is it too late for him to sort it out forms crux of the story.
Madhavan is stunningly great with his flawless performance where he doesn’t slip out of perfection. He’s great while romancing with this spouse or when he’s bounded with lots of perplexing situation. Neethu Chandra and other star-casts have done justice to their roles.
Director Vikram has precisely depicted how women of today are so adhered to TV mega-serials and unaware about what’s happening really around them. Leave it apart, on the script, it’s a best one that has bit of traces in Hollywood’s ‘The Remote Control’. The screenplay is so gripping that doesn’t let your attentions scattered. Especially your will feel loose out of your nerves in the latter half as mentioned earlier.
Musical score by Shankar-Ehasan-Loy are good with couple of songs and the climax song ‘Oh Sexy Mama’ is stupefying. Background score by Tubbi Parik’s is extraordinarily mind-boggling while P.C. Sriram’s cinematography on ‘Fujifilm’ that has a specified tone is stunning adding to the visual enhancements.
On the whole, ‘Yaavarum Nalam’ is a trendsetting flick in the pages of Tamil Cinema where our filmmakers didn’t wanna pick up the hardest bet on venturing through this genre.
Watch it out and you’ll experience something different… Maybe, for those who are more attached to their gadgets; Television, Mobiles and more… Well, male audiences would hail as most their women would stop watching mega-serials after viewing this film.

Hi
We ( myself & my wife ) watched Yaavarum Nalam recently. It is having a very good story value but I feel it was not handled nicely. The family setting is so good and the charactors cast into their roles nicely. But the audiance was unnecessarily rattled by the high sounding background Score without any horror incident in the first half hour with quite a number of repeats which is irritating.
The horrific scenes inside the house ( the electrician from office getting overwhelming shock is not handled correctly as he was almost bundled out of the house in a hurry. When Manohar and his friend got 1977 paper with 8 persons killed in the same place where their flat is there right now, do show the emotions of rushing to the flat or reacting appropriately.
The music director is very good in sexy mama song and the yaavarum nalam song and the background score is really good and but it is very much out of place for the situation. He may come out as a brilliant music director if he understands what I mean.
While the ambiance in the movie hall is very good, I had a feeling of relieved when I walked out of the movie theatre.
The Director needs to see his movie and requires improvement.
