Film: Yaan (Tamil)
Starring: Jiiva, Thulasi Nair, Nasser, Jayaprakash, Thambi Ramaiah and others
Director: Ravi K Chandran
Marks: 1 out of 10
One Line story: Yaan means quick-minded and very expressive, But these are lacking in the movie. Remake: This movie is almost a remake of a Hollywood movie "Midnight Express" an 1978 American/British film directed by Alan Parker. This subject may be accepted by the then audience and not really now!!!
Plot: An MBA graduate Jiiva (Chandru) falls in love with a girl Thulasi Nair (Sreela). Her father Nasser asks him where he works? Then he decides to search for a job and lands in trouble. He goes to Balikistan for a job through a travel agent. Police arrests Jiiva for carrying drugs to their country. The court gives the verdict to behead him in full view of public. Thulasi rushes to the country to rescue her boyfriend. His beheading is postponed (for silly reason??!!). Jiiva manages to flee from the prison (narrow escape??!!) and escapes from the underworld don, as he identifies him living in disguise. Finally, the film comes to an end whether the hero and heroine cross the border of Balikistan or not. (Sema twist??!!)
Flaws:
1. The movie makes the audience unrest due to the series of songs (purposefully inserted)
2. The slow motion fights irritates many audience in the cinema hall
3. The over exposure of Thulasi Nair's thighs recollect Ramba (unnecessary)
4. After Jiiva identifies the underworld Don in disguise in an unexpected (??!!) meeting outside the court hall is okay. There is a lag in the chasing scene, which can be further sharply chopped to make it more nail-biting.
5. In several scenes, the audience starts chatting within each other and hurls weird comments at the actor and actress clearly shows the length and unnecessary song sequences especially a dream song close to the climax. However the cinematography is appreciated much.
6. Jiiva's easy escape from the prison has raised several doubts among the spectators.
7. Screenplay has struck and slipped in several scenes after Jiiva is caught by the Balikistan police.
8. Every common people are now aware to deal with the travel agents and steps to be noted while going abroad.
9. Worse the anxiety of the audience is the climax, in which they see a barbed fence and a board with BORDER written on it.
Positives:
1. It has given a lot of rooms to imitate in several movies. (Please note down Chinna Kalaivaanar team and Santhanam team)
2. Definitely the first scene, the encounter of an underworld don in full view of public. The cinematographer should be patted for his work.
