Yes your honour review
'Yes, Your Honour' pleads for
junior lawyers (REVIEW)
By Paresh C. Palicha
Film: "Yes, Your Honour"; Cast: Sreenivasan, Padmapriya,
Innocent, Jagathy Sreekumar, Sai Kumar; Director: V.M. Vinu;
Music: Deepak Dev; Producer: P.V. Gangadharan
Sreenivasan plays a struggling junior lawyer in director V.M.
Vinu's "Yes, Your Honour".
The film is about a lawyer Ravi who has passed his prime years
under a domineering boss and has been denied all opportunities
to grow in his field.
Audiences are treated to typical Sreenivasan humour in the first
half of the film. The second half, however, turns out to be a
political thriller with the hero grappling with every issue
hogging the media in recent times.
The issues range from a money-laundering racket to a sex scandal
involving an ex-minister and smuggling of sandalwood from
forests to the factories owned by the same ex-minister, played
by ubiquitous Sai Kumar.
The writer-director duo T. Damodharan and Vinu has tried to fill
the narrative with every possible masala. By the end, one feels
the film deserved a little more ordinary treatment.
The emotional patches are filled by portraying Ravi's family
life. His wife Maya (Padmapriya), who hails from a rich
family, married Ravi after a long-time college romance. She was
impressed by the revolutionary zeal in Ravi.
Maya works for an NGO that fights for women's rights. But the
script fails to explore dimensions of the relationship between
the lead characters. It conveniently treads the familiar path,
particularly in the second half.
Sreenivasan holds our interest whenever he is in the frame. It
wouldn't be wrong to say that "Yes, Your Honour" belongs to him.
One wishes the script and direction had avoided the
political-thriller route the film takes in the second half.
Padmapriya holds her own opposite Sreenivasan. She uses
the character to showcase her acting prowess to the fullest. Her
performance gives her character an importance in the film, which
is notches above the scope provided by the script.
