OPINION
-------------
The film is visually superb and engaging. The opening shots of the film are really good. The color tone is mostly dark and it adds to the mood throughout the film.
The film is shot in a different style. The actual culprits and incidents are shown in the film many times as incompleted images. It adds to the suspense the film is building and the chillness gets to your bones through the well-planned shots.
" Kanni theruvu kanna " is a good song but it doesn't really suit the situation and stands out as a sore thumb. The director kind of handles the situation by adding a crucial scene at the end of the song which gave moviegoers an illusion that the song was crucial while it was not. After the culprits are revealed, the movie loses it's momentum and lags a bit but considering the superb storytelling till then, we can neglect these minor issues.
This is a slow-paced film. It slowly builds one scene after the other until you get addicted to that poisonous slow rhythm. The film ups your tension with superb shots and intriguing music.
Cheran played J Krishnamoorthy to perfection. His subtle expressions and superb fighting techniques complement the character well. Dipa Shah did well for a debutant. Judas played by V Jayaprakash was another noteworthy character.
Final verdict
--------------------
Yudham SEI is one of Myskkin's finest works. It's a good crime thriller. I give 3.5 stars out of 5 for the thrill this film gave me
Verdict: Excellent
