Haunted stay
Overall, Yaamirukka Bayamey begins with a slow pace and promises to be a fearful horror-comedy. The narration could have been better to make it a complete entertainer joining the likes of Muni. But it never fails to make you laugh out & leave you scared at regular intervals.

After Super Star’s magnum opus Kochadaiiyaan missing its release date once again, Yaamirukka Bayamey team made a clever move by planning a grand release and making this Friday pretty interesting. Yaamirukka Bayamey is a neat thriller laced with comedy and manages to induce fear in audiences with its near-perfect screenplay. The movie with its limited star cast has come out reasonably well by not allowing the viewers to lay back and the debutant director Deekay proved that he is strong on his ground work.
The movie starts off with Krishna and Rupa Manjari who try everything possible thing to live a happy life. They fall out with a goon and end up finding a way to escape from the situation. In the meanwhile, Krishna gets a letter stating that his father has left a property for his future and dreams it to be a fortune. Then, Krishna follows the address from the letter, finds the place and gets to meet Karunakaran who has lived all his life under the patronage of Krishna’s father. Karunakaran and his sister Oviya plan to settle down with Krishna and Rupa to seek solace and they befriend them to take ownership for the property.
One fine day, Krishna decides to walk into a secluded place which looks forsaken and quite desolated. Not knowing what to do next, the four plan to clean up the mess and project it as a boarding place for tourists. They succeed quietly and welcome the first guest to the lodge and seek a bright shine for the future, very soon they end up finding the guest dead in the room to everyone’s surprise and they soon chalk out plans to hide the corpse to restrain from any legal issues whatsoever. Another guest arrives who also ends up dead. This leaves in awe and puzzled. Krishna and Rupa also cross check their doubts on Karunakaran for all the mystery happening in the place but convinced he has no role when they witness a dark image walking through the frames. Meanwhile an old man peeps in through the scenes and walks away horrified seeing guests entering the lodge. All these puzzles, hysteria, comedy and mystery make the first half of the movie set a perfect stage to find answers in an interesting second half.
Burying the corpse in the backyard of the hotel, lonely places, benighted shots filmed naturally and it helps giving the movie a perfect tone for the horror genre and glues the audience to curious about the next scene. The second half thoroughly entertains and scenes are replete with frightfulness neatly complimented by an interesting flashback from the old man.
Aadhav Kannadasan peeks in for a cameo for a bubbly song (Vellai Pandhu) in the flashback but very soon finds the place is completely haunted and it’s not the right place to live in. Krishna still finds a way to find out the real mystery and ends up seeking Mayilsamy’s help to make the place clean. As you would easily guess, Mayilsamy is of no use to Krishna but leaves the audience with his quintessential gags. The property has been shifting hands for years and all the owners of the property are being found dead in a mysterious way. Will Krishna, the current owner of the property escape or fall prey to the mystery surrouding it?
The BGM, Art works, CG and the screenplay make Yaamirukka Bayamey a clean horror-comedy but the dip in performances and predictable screenplay might make you frown.
