Mysskin is back with a crime thriller once again after the emotional journey portrayed in Nandhalala. Comparisons may arise with Anjaathey as both involves nearly the same theme but Yudham Sei has no light moments and is very dark and morbid. An added attraction is the presence of Cheran as the protagonist as well a speacial appearance from Ameer and Neetu Chandra.
The main problem of the film is the pace of the narration. Although the scenes done in a compelling and thrilling manner, but the screenplay is quite slow for a crime thriller genre. It may test the patience of some viewers but for those who forgo the slow mode, this film is a fine take on the angst of the general public on the social perverts and scoundrels.. What makes the film good is that it purely sticks to it's genre and there are no unwanted elements like romance, comedy or songs except for the Kanni Theevu Ponna track. Certain investigative methods shown in the movie do remind us of the style used in the popular CSI series though it was shown realisitically. The linear narration helped us to not get confused and the suspense maintained until the climax was the highlight of the script.
When it comes to performance, Mysskin always brings out the best from his artistes. Cheran as the CBCID officer in search of his missing sister and the officer in charge, is very realistic. The way he was shown didnt invoke the sense of deja-vu or imitation of previous film based police officer roles. His hidden angst and pain was well brought out by Mysskin. YG Mahendran and Lakshmi as the husband and wife couple proved that they're seasoned artistes of high degree of calibre. They're performance was riveting especially in the climax scene. Jayaprakash was stunning as the pathologist and he's proving to be one of the sought after character artiste. The others are casted appropriately.
Technicians behind the movie has worked in tune with the mood of Mysskin. Cinematographer Sathya has captured the night sequences very well and his top and low angle shots help to create the right mood for the film. The usual Mysskin touch like as the camera movement which follows the character in low angle, the stilled position for certain scene are aplenty and is not something to be complained about. Music director K has done a good job with the background score with haunting music but then in some scenes the music is a little out of sync and sounds too melodramatic. There's only one song featured in the movie in which Ameer and Neetu Chandra, who appears as Mysskin's popular yellow sari-clad item gal for songs.
Mysskin should be appreciated for bringing a crime thriller with painful human emotions depicted in the right manner and for showing what the public general thinks of the crime of violence against human. Yudham Sei is filled with pain, anger, hatred and is shown in a morbid manner. It's a good movie but not the best from Mysskin.
