Prepare to be scared!
The movie is a sleek and out of the box thriller that keeps you in the edge of your seat. A tightly knitted screenplay that is woven around a not-so-illogical-storyline with amazingly convincing performances makes the movie one of the few watchable ones in its genre in the recent times. A simple pl...(more)

Cutting edge thriller needs cutting.
If the film works, it is because the director seems to know exactly what the modern audience is tired of watching. P.C. Sreeram’s cinematography sets the mood. And, there’s the leading man R. Madhavan who’s always in control of the film. With so many pluses, it’s a pity this film isn’t any shorter....(more)

A must-watch!
Very rarely do you get to see a movie that's not just logical and has good performances, but comes with a deliciously intriguing thriller whodunit tag as well.

A commendable effort.
Vikram K Kumar has tried something different with Yavarum Nalam. The premise may see too childish to some, but the treatment of the subject is extremely interesting and I must say scary too! Madhavan has done a fine job. The rest of the cast provides good support to the story. Cinematography by P.C ...(more)
