We have seen this in several Hollywood movies — more recently in James Wan’s The Conjuring. InYaamirukka Bayamey, we also have a ghost perched on top of cupboards, dramatically appearing when someone is peering through a key-hole, hiding behind curtains or getting into someone’s body. But it works because the film, thankfully, depends heavily not so much on visual effects to scare the audience but on focussing on the basics. Thus, we have sound to manipulate emotion, visual imagery to create scary atmospherics, and scene cuts that escalate the tension to the maximum before the final moment. The weak set-up is compensated for with a highly entertaining final act, where all the actors — especially Kreshna and Karunakaran — turn in exceptional performances. All in all, this is a fun summer film and should work regardless of whether one believes in the supernatural or not.
