Yasakhan Review

Cast: Mahesh, Niranjana, Janaki, Jayachandran, Samuel ChandranDirection: ThuraivananGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 20 minutes
Synopsis: Surya is a do-gooder who is liked by everyone around him except his father, who constantly puts him down because he is unemployed. When he goes around asking for money to save a young girl, all the people he had helped in the past turn him down. Surya decides to teach them the importance of helping others in his own way.
Movie Review: We have seen movies with a message but Yasakhan is the kind of movie where the entire movie is a message. Its protagonist Surya is someone whose only job in life is to do good. He even withdraws from an interview because the job will benefit his friend whose family has shunned him after he eloped and married a girl of his choice! Throughout the first half, we see Surya doing nothing but help — he volunteers to pay the electricity bills for a neighbour, changes the bed clothes of a hospitalized one (who promptly utters a cliched dialogue: "petha pullainga kooda ippadi panna maataanga"), promises to take a child to the park and even takes on a group of scoundrels who are molesting a girl. The last one even gets him arrested and only invites more condemnation from his father who constantly puts him down.
These scenes of doing good are interspersed with a lifeless romantic track between Surya and Shalini ( Niranjana), the daughter of his father's friend.
