Yaan
Yaan (Tamil: யான்) (English: Me) is a
2014 Indian Tamil action thriller film written, directed and filmed by Ravi K.
Chandran. The film features Jiiva and Thulasi Nair in the lead roles. The
film's soundtrack and score was composed by Harris Jayaraj, while editing and
art direction were done by A. Sreekar Prasad and Sabu Cyril, respectively.
Resul Pookutty was in charge of the sound mixing and Brinda was in charge of
the choreography.
Yaan
revolves entirely around the protagonist and how he lands himself in a crisis.
There is the redundant romantic track between Tulasi and Jiiva with some
predictable scenes. The first half of Yaan, simply made me Yawn!
But
the same can’t be said about the second-half. It is brisk, racy and keeps you
hooked. However, these elements don’t fully stay till the end. This is because
of long, high-flawed and unintentionally funny scenes. A special mention to the
scene where Jiiva takes on the ‘undertaker’
jailer. And also, the scene
where Malik speaks in Tamil at his swearing-in ceremony, in front of the Arab
crowd.
Meanwhile,
Malik is also a most-wanted terrorist who has an Ekta Kapoor sitcom-inspired
backstory. Who would’ve predicted the generous inclusion of the Indian element
in the script? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the visual presentation of
this movie. Ravi K. Chandran’s influence is reflected on its camera work and
makes the shots seem stunningly picturesque. Harris Jeyaraj’s music leaves you
with the “I’ve heard this before” feeling too.
