Yaanai (2022) User Reviews

Usual Hari movie but good family entertainment

[linganirmal-66292 · 7/10 · 2 July 2022]

Arun Vijay pbs and other supporting characters acting very well. Yogi babu comedy Not bad. Pugazh comedy not good.action sequence very powerful.

Screenplay innum better ah pannirkala villain role very week.bgm ok.songs not impressive

Overall commercial treat for commercial fans,family audience And Hari fans.

Outdated story

[endrumanbudannaga · 6/10 · 24 July 2022]

Outdated story and dull screenplay. Protagonist Arun Vijay yells and roars throughout the movie, it's completely boring. Songs, comedy and background music were mediocre. Director Hari must modernize. A merely average film overall.

Repeated presentation, still Hari wins

[m-ramanan · 7/10 · 31 August 2022]

RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Zee5

Same templated Hari's story with Arun Vijay. Same joint family, same feud, same wiser son in the family, same family separation, same revenge and same message in climax. The template is sincerely followed in this movie also. But the presentation is not boring as the template, in this place Hari wins.

The casting is good, only Rajesh is bit out of sync. There is some solid message and it spilled in lot of dialogs. But not told boldly, the cast message was just as masala factor for the story. If he added different premise than "thamiraparani", this would have better one. It was like watching thamiraparani movie again.

Same old story, but a decent entertainer

[abishiekm · 6/10 · 20 August 2022]

Yaanai is a decent entertainer being strong in the commercial zone. Even though the story is same as we see in a lot of movies which is, a fight inside a family itself, and a good younger brother who tries to save the bond between the family. The action scenes the sentiments are Hari's stong zones, good action scenes dialogues and casting. But the same old storyline makes it a boring to watch. Overall, a good one if you want to pass time!

Hari - out of stock with script

[Moviebuff_Chennai · 6/10 · 2 July 2022]

One more time???????

In the last 20 years - nothing has changed in Hari movies. Good to follow a trend but atleast the scenes should be different - Hari has failed to produce a new product. He just copied his ideas and script again.

Ofcourse the same formula but it's not a crime to follow it - but atleast it must be interesting. Even director visu followed a same trend his whole lifetime but the script had that much weight and his career worked well. When Hari want to apply the same - he needs to go with the latest acceptable version. No matter every family have problems and people show hatred against one and people do love another one - but to build scenes, it must be to the present day happenings - but Yaanai showed the same ideas share in Thamirabarani, arul and his own.

Nothing special to say - one more cliche movie. I won't complain the format as we live in the same society and can't blame the format is old - the plot alone is old.

Arun Vijay - out of track PBS - cute and lovely as a college girl.

Yogi Babu - dummy Samudhrakani - Same cliche big brother role Garudan - Waste being powerful Ammu Abirami - good to be under valued GV - happy to hear his music and his job neatly done Camera - Hari miss Priyan a lot.. Action - Too much of single take attempts - not thrilled enough.

Old wine in a new bottle!!!

[arjun-tkalathil · 3/10 · 17 July 2022]

Why some tamil movies again telling jaathi jaathi??? Making a movie with same old templete and humiliating caste and all. Respected director, this is 2022,why again putting old junk like this??? Price of the ticket is not 5 or 10 rupees, its 120-200 rupees. Atleast, the viewers want a belief to expend the mone right???

Must Watch! Feel Good Movie!

[freemail-70476 · 10/10 · 25 August 2022]

After a very long break watched movie that really made my day.. what a feel good movie. Hari with his trade mark making and acting from crew was outstanding. No negatives about the film, i'd pay to watch movies in this genre than any. Again, please watch.

Underwhelming in the Hari Saga

[panimozhi-j · 2/10 · 23 August 2022]

I rate this even under the Saamy sqaure and Vengai. What happened to hari, who was making the commercial movie and had created his own formula. The two scenes working in the whole movie was the Intermission where Radhika scores and in the second half Priya bhavani shankar reasoning why she made the lovers go away. Arun vijay hard works goes unnoticed thought there are two fights with long running shot., Yogi babu and Pugazh comedy is cringe to the core. Yalama yele was the only song that works with GV music.

Family drama

[kalaivanicuteheart · 9/10 · 1 July 2022]

I had withdrawal symptoms while watching this movie and I didn't want it to end. Director Hari has given a fabulous movie to AV. Complete entertainer. Absolutely worth watching. PBS, Samuthirakani and others have done justices to their role. Director Hari has a unique peculiar way of story telling. It's evident in the movie. Waiting to watch more movies of this kind.

Yaanai - The Elephant every family will love

[thesillysaint · 9/10 · 3 July 2022]

No vulgar dialogues, no double meaning jokes, no gruesome killing

Story and Screenplay is not new still this movie is quite the fresh air in the Tamil cinema as we are seeing lot of movies typically following a stereotype of being different and trying to be foreign and complex story and screenplay but not many movie celebrates the family unit and weaves a story around it. This movie is one of such movie that celebrates and elevates the family unit. Probably we want more such films to be little light and enjoy the movie with a simplicity. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and surely it is a must watch.

Spoiler ahead: This is a thorough action movie and not even one character is KILLED.

Actor Arun Vijay Shines in this Action Family Drama

[ganeshprabu_r · 9/10 · 1 July 2022]

Yaanai is good family entertainer connecting B and C audience. Arun Vijay has gave brilliant performance in all areas of acting especially in action and sentiment scenes. All supporting actors such as Samuthrakani, Radhika, Yogi Babu, Priya Bhavani Shankar did their parts well. Hari gave a good comeback. Totally worth watchable family entertainer with good social message.

Yaanai

[krithikaaravind · 8/10 · 2 July 2022]

Yaanai got to be one of my fav ArunVijay movie now. Definitely a good comeback for dir Hari after his disaster Saamy2. The only let down were the songs. Other than that everything else was good. ArunVijay nailed his roles, he was lit during the action scenes 💥

Nothing worng in the movie

[manoj-65271 · 10/10 · 2 July 2022]

Excellent film for family audiance.action and emotional power packed movie .Film proves that don't look at the caste.but caste exit in reality so no use of taking such a movie that shows don't look at caste.first remove caste fr educational sectors and employment sectors then you can take such a movie .

Worth time to watch

[mdafsal-29889 · 8/10 · 21 August 2022]

Hari back to track and Arun Vijay wonderful acting family entertainment Arun Vijay try to find script like this in future also Hari and Arun Vijay combo is wonderful.

Nice Movie

[muthumari-30141 · 8/10 · 18 July 2022]

Fights, Songs, comedy all good. Arun vijay sir acting well and delivery outstanding performance in many scenes. Really worth for time to watch this movie.

A formulaic mass entertainer packed with good writing, emotion and well choreographed action sequences

[kumarankith-26447 · 9/10 · 19 August 2022]

Director Hari, who is known for fast-paced cuts and fights with loud protagonists and dialogues is BACK WITH A BANG IN YAANAI which is an emotional actioner starring Arun Vijay in the lead role. Arun Vijay plays a good role after his recent hit film Mafia: Chapter 1 which is not a loud hero in recent Hari's films and is decent in emotional sequences. Bhavani Shankar gets a good role and has scope to shine in the film. Samuthirakani is menacing in 2nd half and is good, along with Bose Venkat and Sanjeev Venkat. KGF fame Ramachandra Raju is menacing as the antagonist and is superb in the role. Other actors like Yogi Babu, Ammu Abhirami and Radhika Sarathkumar are also good in their roles.

Action sequences by Anl Arasu are superb and entertaining with single shot bar fight, intro fight being the highlight. G. V P music is fine but the bgm is good. Cinematography and editing by S. Gopinath and Anthony are also good. Director Hari who is the king of masala films in Tamil Nadu is back and has improved his style making and changes can be seen. His writing and emotional sequence is also good and too good focus on action if he had removed some of his trademark comedy (comedy is somewhat enjoyable) and songs, then output would be better.

Overall, Yaanai can be watched for its cast performance, action background score and emotion, despite being a formulaic story it has good writing and emotional scenes which makes it a good watch for family audience. Watch this emotional masala entertainer on Zee5.

HCU film

[saru2020 · 8/10 · 20 August 2022]

This is nothing new but the same content/plot from Hari's cinematic universe (HCU)

if you like watching dir Hari's films, you surely don't want to miss this one as well since the energy levels, plot, screenplay, action, comedy, etc, all work out well, the only difference is that the film doesn't have a big star but a popular face only, still with the dir's touch, the film runs at 2-3x speed all over and it doesn't let you touch your phone, that's the biggest thing that a dir can do, even when he makes 10s of films with the same content and still he keeps the audience engaged then that's nothing but pure magic and very few directors can achieve this feat so easily.

Thoughts after movie

[arimanjen · 8/10 · 2 July 2022]

It highlights some social ills and encourages people to live as human beings beyond caste, religion and hatred. It is amazing how every major scene in the movie is captured in one shot. In contrast to previous films, Director Hari has slowed down a bit with overly sentimental scenes .

Nice family entertainment
