Director: Sakti Rajasekaran
Cast: Kalaiyarasan, Satna Titus, Gautham, Krishna
Krishna (Kalaiyarasan) - a small-time entrepreneur who makes currency-counting machines - is a happy man who lives with his doting parents and younger sister (Soumiya). He has a girlfriend Janani (Satna Titus) who is a cop. All goes well till a tragedy strikes. Soumiya aims to become a doctor and despite passing out plus 2 with high grades, she could not get a seat in government college.
In order to fulfill her dreams Krishna borrows money heavily and pays the capitation fees through a middleman and gets a seat in a private medical college. A few months later, much to their shock they realize that the license of the college was cancelled and students were left in the lurch. Krishna was left with no answers when he tried to catch hold of the middleman and he realizes that Gaurav (Gautham) who runs the medical college is behind the greedy act of amassing wealth through evil means.
Now, Krishna is on a revenge mission. He comes across gangster Dharma (Krishna) and joins hands with him, who is also on the lookout for Gaurav for his own reasons. Over time, Krishna learns that it is Dharma who is responsible for his sister’s death. How Krishna cleverly moves his coin and avenges his enemies forms the rest.
Kalaiyarasan has given a neat performance and one wishes Satna Titus had more screen space. Newcomer Gautham does his spoiled brat role with impressive ease. Krishna returns after a gap and his villainy act is appreciable. Aadukalam Naren is adequate.
Debutant Sakti Rajasekaran’s Yeidhavan deals with the topical subject of corruption and bribery in the form of capitation fees that is largely prevalent in our educational institutions. He should be commended for his effort. Till interval the racy pace is maintained with interesting twists and turns. Latter parts lack focus. The movie had all the potential to become an engaging thriller had the director concentrated more on the coherent screenplay and avoided commercial compromises like the item-song and a romantic number. The film has its moments and can be a one-time watch.
