It is high time that filmmakers recognise the fact that packing a two-hour film merely with chase and action sequences is not going to hold the audience’s attention. What is needed is a meaty story narrated in a coherent manner. Much was expected of Ravi K. Chandran’s debut film. But, it looks like his time hasn’t come yet.

With great hype comes greater burden of meeting expectations – ‘Yaan’ falls prey to this adage as it flounders at the start and fails to keep on its feet as it is dealt several body blows due to a weak script, poor execution and ill-advised knots in the storyline. A good one to give a miss!
