Featured review
What happens when a big star comes out of his comfort zone to work with a filmmaker who has his own style of filmmaking? Well, the answer is Yennai Arindhaal. After a while, Ajith is stepping out of his comfort zone and converts himself as the typical Gautham Menon hero. He has done a role that has strong sensibilities. More than just bashing the bad guys, Ajith acts and reacts in every situation in his life. I feel that he had a strong scope to perform in this film, unlike his usual action entertainers. On the opposite side, we have Arun Vijay who has a brilliant role to play in this film. He had made justice to the role perfectly and delivers one of his best performances of his career so far. We could see the hard work and dedication of Arun Vijay through the output of his character in the film. There are scenes where Arun Vijay overshadows Ajith with his terrifying performance which is definitely an interesting play to watch. Gautham Menon made a film that doesn't only depend on Ajith's star value but instead, on the content that he wrote for him. Even though Ajith seems to give space for others and perform in a director's film, Yennai Arindhaal ends up as an Ajith film because the film travels around him. It revolves around the ups and downs faced by Sathya Dev in his life. We get to stick with him throughout his journey and we come across several fine performances of the supporting cast like Trisha and Anikha. Well, Trisha is playing an unconventional role which is quite fresh in a so-called Ajith film but a very common thing in a Gautham Menon film. Her limited screen time can be justified by her necessity in the plot. Anikha who plays Ajith's foster child adds so much color to this purely intense action thriller. She plays a key role in Sathya Dev's life. Coming to Yennai Arindhaal, Gautham Menon has made a film that carries very good performances but he lets down the overall pace of the film. Well, Yennai Arindhaal has a very slow narrative which doesn't feel good for an action film. Due to that, the engagement factor seems to be heavily affected. We are not proportionately engaged in this film. There are several dull moments that distract our focus on the main plot. Harris Jayaraj has delivered feel-good album and an intensity-increasing background score which works in favor of the film. Overall, Yennai Arindhaal is an unusual Ajith film that works for its brilliant performances and soundtrack.
