It is Vijay Sethupathi who hands in a very good performance and makes this worth a watch. On the whole, Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir is a laudable yet incomplete presentation of the lives of refugees. The visual and editing treatment of the film is functional. Nivas Prasanna’s music is a great addition to the film and the composer backs it up with some emotional cues in the background, with a special mention to the climax sequence. However, it is nice to see late actor Vivek in a good role with his own dubbing. However, it is worth lauding the weight that the Sri Lankan refugee struggle has been given in the film, and it works through Vijay Sethupathi’s earnest performance that is matured throughout, and also excellent in the scenes where he has to recite long dialogues.Īpart from Vijay Sethupathi, the other performances in the film pass muster. Coming fresh off a negative role from Ravanasura, Megha Akash will next be seen as a singer in the long-delayed Venkata Krishna Roghanth’s Yaadhum Oore Yaavarum Kelir (YOYK. While there are some emotional moments that manage to tug our heartstrings and pull in our attention, the film beats the intensity with some generic writing on the other hand that dilutes the actual effect that it needs to create. Roghanth does have a strong plot in hand but his writing and narrative are both inconsistent and fail to pack the punch that a story like this needs. The film also has a thriller angle where Vijay Sethupathi’s character comes face-to-face with that of Magizh Thirumeni, with a reasoning behind it. 1 Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase found in Hindu texts such as the Maha Upanishad, which means 'The World Is One Family'. While the first half introduces us to the characters and also brings in a needless romantic angle, the second half is the better of the two and it does throw the spotlight on the refugees, their wants and needs, and the tough situations they have to go through. The 'World Is A Family' verse of Maha Upanishad is engraved in the entrance hall of the Parliament Of India. The film is built with incidents, anecdotes, and monologues that try to bring out the struggles of such refugees in every angle possible. The entire film is based on the journey of Punithan (Vijay Sethupathi), a man who is sent off to safer grounds but later changes paths and travels in search of an identity, while also paying attention to his never-ending love for music. In the same lineup comes Venkata Krishna Roghanth’s YOYK, a film that brings about the struggles of a Sri Lankan refugee trying to find an identity of his own. The romantic action thriller unfolds in a scenic hilly town. Films on Sri Lanka and its refugees have come out quite a lot in Tamil cinema, and we have classics such as Kannathil Muthamittal going all the way until the underrated ones like Kuppi.
