A village-based father and his fashion-freaked son who dreams to fly to America
Yuvan Yuvathi is a venture from G.N.R. Kumaravel of
Ninaithale Inikkum fame. Opening with the villainism of punishing lovers who run away from their village, the initial twenty minutes are cinematic with repetitive sequences as seen in various movies. The movie revolves around Bharath and Rima's ambition to settle down in America.
G.N.R Kumaravel has presented the movie without bothering to engage the audience with any interesting sequences. His script is unclear to such an extent that it seems that some pages have been lost. There is nothing new in the story, and the fact that the movie has been stretched when it could have been told as a short film is irritating. Intermittent songs have been used as fillers.
Kola Kuthu song forcefully added to the climax will test everyone's patience. The climax itself is below average and a major drawback.
The one and only relaxation is in the form of Santhanam's comedy, who has given us a lot of giggles. Bharath and Rima Kallinga have performed well. However, they hardly have any good sequences to impress the audience. Sampath plays the usual kind of villain role and has delivered his best. Kriashna, Sathya and Deivadharshini are wasted. Krisha and Satyan's characterization is irritating. Mayilsamy is in appearance only for a few minutes but scores well. Shakthi Vasu gives a guest appearance.
Cinematography by Gopi Jagadeeswaran is excellent, with his camera being the biggest strength of Yuvan Yuvathi. He brilliantly captures the beauty of the Seychelles. Another strength of the movie is in Illayaraja's art direction with adds a lot of value to the frames. Vijay Antony's music is good, with
Oh my Angel being the best number. Dialogues by S. Ramakrishnan is below average, and it is quite unbelievable that he has failed to deliver even one good conversation in the entire movie.
A talented cast, beautiful cinematography and good music are unfortunately not good enough to save a full length feature film. G.N.R Kumaravelan's narrative style, poor script and the stretchy effect makes Yuvan Yuvathi a Cant Watch!
