these days make money even before their release is announced largely owing to
the amount of promotion they do, that's the kind of frenzy promotion the
filmmakers have adopted. Yamuna is a total low profile movie which has hit the
screens lately which has newcomers Sathya and SriRamya in the lead. Sathya has
some great experience from the school of Balu Mahendra and also institutes
whilst Ramya is already a pretty known face in Tollywood. She is also the
Nandhi Awardee for "1940 lo ok gramam" in Telugu. Ganesh Babu, who
has acted in Kutty, Mozhi, Autograph and Bharathi is donning the hat of a
director. The movie is produced by Sri Hari Balaji movies and has Elakkiyan
crooning the music along with Chidambaram for cinematography.
Bhaskar
(Sathya) is a nomad with a happy-go-lucky attitude and plays the usual lad with
no big intentions however always surrounded by a bunch of like-minded friends.
The usual friendship elements and fancy jokes among guys is their daily agenda,
however Bhaskar's relationship with his father is rotten and he is constantly
mocked for his attitude. Enter the lady of the hour Yamuna (Sriramya) the girl
who makes any guy to fall in love almost instantly.
As usual
it's the tale of Romeo chasing Juliet in his desperate attempts failing curtly
every time. His antics to win her love is comical and the formula is done and
dusted with suicide attempts and all that we can dream off. Eventually Bhaskar
does win the heart of Yamuna is elated as usual any guy would. The film reaches
the point of boredom when the twists start kicking in. Chandrika played by
Vinothini is a venal lady who also takes care of Yamuna and detests everything.
The portrayal of the pain and agony that Chandrika delivers are some scenes
reminiscent, yet directed well.
With all
the love and happening, Yamuna vanishes in thin air untold to anyone. Its pain
stacking for Bhaskar and the search goes in vain, however she returns after a
few days and does not utter a single word much to his astonishment. Dejected he
roams around in misery, drinking and getting down low. To an extent he finally
mutters the courage to go up to a prostitute and finds Yamuna as the brothel!
How did she
end up in such a rotten place? What happened to their love? Where did she
disappear are the questions that form the rest of the story.
Whilst the
director has tried his hand heavily to bring about an edge of the seat
thriller, the film does end with a serious message which could have hit hard if
presented well. The film lays in patches of below average direction with
nothing make it to blend the movie together. Acting wise Sathya the debutant
could pass away for a budding student, but has to improve in acting as some of
the scenes are nothing but irritation from him. For an actor from Balumahendra
School, he has a long way to run ahead.
Sriramya's
part and acting is the lone consolation in this movie as she shows signs of a
matured actress in making. Chandrika's character by Vinothini is an act worthy
to mention. Neither the songs, nor cinematography captivate this slow paced
movie, some oomph's, chaotic screenplay and mediocre direction sum up this
movie. Comfort can be taken in the two actresses acting and the message which
was delivered frantically.
