Actor
Kalabhavan
Mani,
who
is
famous
for
his
villain
roles
with
the
Telugu
audience,
has
made
his
debut
in
Yevadaina
Sare.
The
film
is
a
dubbed
version
of
the
Malayalam
film
Payam
Puli.
Director
has
made
a
good
effort
to
portray
the
film
story
well.
The
first
half
of
the
film
is
extremely
slow
with
absolutely
no
action
or
scenes
of
interest.
The
story
itself
is
like
old
wine
in
a
new
bottle
:
the
same
old
story
with
the
hero
trying
to
make
the
heroine
happy.
Story:
Sivaji
(Kalabhavan
Mani)
is
basically
a
wild
person
who
works
as
a
collection
agent.
His
job
is
to
convince
the
other
party
to
pay
up
-
and
use
force
if
need
be.
Recognizing
his
ability
to
get
things
out
of
people,
a
finance
company
engages
his
service
with
30%
of
all
his
collections
as
his
pay.
After
starting
ark
with
the
company,
he
sets
up
home
in
a
new
house,
which
he
takes
on
lease
for
Rs.
100,000.
The
owner
of
the
house
is
an
old
man,
who
is
living
with
his
wife
and
two
of
his
grand
daughters.
Mallika
(Rambha),
the
elder
grand
daughter,
doesn't
want
him
as
a
tenant
but
she
accepts
him
because
her
grand
parents
are
allright
with
it.
Kotilingam
(Kotanna)
is
a
goon
who
wants
the
property
owned
by
Mallika
and
her
family.
He
tricks
her
stepbrother
into
selling
him
the
property
for
which
he
gives
him
the
advance
for
the
purchase.
After
closing
the
deal,
Mallika's
stepbrother
Ravishankar
(Raghu)
tries
ti
get
his
sister
and
grandparents
to
leave
the
house.
Sivaji
comes
to
help
them.
Sivaji
had
earlier
met
Kotilingam
when
he
went
to
get
a
payment
that
he
had
to
make
to
the
finance
company
for
six
lorries,
which
he
took
on
hire
purchase.
Because
Sivaji
forced
the
money
out
of
him,
he
has
a
score
to
settle
with
Sivaji.
He
tries
to
stop
him
but
is
not
successful.
Resorting
to
his
last
option,
Ravishankar
gets
all
the
necessary
documents
signed
by
tricking
Ravishankar
into
doing
it.
Kotanna's
son
then
kills
Ravishankar
so
as
to
avoid
paying
him
the
rest
of
the
money.
He
also
gets
Sivaji
falsely
indicted
in
a
liquor
smuggling
case.
Sivaji
escapes
from
the
police
and
stops
Kottana
from
breaking
down
Mallika's
property.
Kotanna
tries
to
kill
Sivaji
but
ends
up
stabbing
his
own
sun.
Plus
Points:
Kalabhavan
Mani
is
at
his
best
in
the
action
sequences
in
the
film.
The
fights
have
been
choreographed
extremely
well
by
the
film
three
fight
directors
-
Anal
Arasu,
Mafia
Sai
and
Rocky
Rajesh.
Rambha
fulfilled
the
glamour
requirement
of
the
film
well.
The
choreography
was
average.
Minus
Points:
The
films
script
has
been
written
excellently.
But
the
Telugu
audience
knows
Mani
as
a
villain.
This
film
being
his
first
as
a
hero
-
he
was
not
well
accepted
in
his
first
hero
role.
The
music
by
Mohan
Sitara
was
not
appealing
enough.
Conclusion:
Apart
from
the
same
old
story
line
of
a
hero
going
all
out
for
a
girl,
the
film
has
nothing
more
to
offer.
The
song
in
the
middle
of
the
film
is
totally
unnecessary
and
was
only
included
to
attract
the
masses
to
the
film.
Overall
the
film
doesn't
have
too
much
entertainment
value
nor
does
it
have
a
fresh
new
storyline.
