Direction: Mysskin
Yuddham Sei is based on a strikingly similar theme of a CBCID cop trying to unravel mysterious killings in town, using his brains more than brawn. The action scene in the film on top of a bridge, where Cheran armed with just a miniature file in a nail cutter takes on half a dozen goons armed with long knives has been superbly choreographed without making Cheran a super hero and makes the fight look believable.A series of crimes grips Chennai city, missing girls, gruesome attacks on people as their chopped hands are found in cardboard cartons in busy areas. The local police refer the case to Crime branch and the investigation is entrusted to J Krishnamoorty (Cheran) a boorish cop and his team consisting of Tamizh (Deepa Shah) and Prakash.
JK is himself a victim of the crime as his sister is missing for the last few weeks. He sniffs around for possible clues and undercover many dirty secrets of the rich and powerful in the city.
How JK and his team goes after the suspects and nails down the real culprits including some bad apples in the department itself is told in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Among the cast, Cheran as the forlorn sleepy looking cop who speaks very little is striking. There is no romance in the film which has a four minute item song by Ameer and Mysskin’s favourite lady in yellow sari, this time portrayed by Neetu Chandra.
