Truth is like the Sun, would come out from behind the clouds. But justice, unlike truth, can be delayed or even hidden from the world. It is the role of us, man, to fight for justice and bring it to the front of the world. And when the individual is an advocate, he becomes righteous with his knowledge of law and sharp mind to analyze situations.
This is the base line of one of the most brilliant and realistic movie made in Malayalam in the year 2006. Yes your honour starring veteran actor Sreenivasan (playing Advocate Ravi), Innocent, Sai Kumar, Jagathy, Padmapriya etc. is a story about a struggling advocate. He works with a senior advocate (played by Innocent) who favors people who live against the law with their illegal activities ranging from money laundering racket to sex scandal. There is also a political thriller in the backdrop which is narrated with the right amount of suspense. A frustrated junior advocate, brilliant and sharp, is waiting for the right break, not to make it big and earn but to make sure that justice is delivered.
At one point of time, he realizes that he is being curbed and justice is not going to live. A usually calm and witty Advocate Ravi loses his mind to such an extent that he rises in rage; but the character still lives within the human range unlike any other movie. Appointed as the state commission advocate on a murder trial, he rises in form and figure tearing down the fake evidences presented to save the guilty. It becomes clear to the ill forces that it is hard to survive with Advocate Ravi on the front. They try threatening him and hurting his family but then they re-think and decide to convince and get him on their side. A frightened Advocate Ravi joins hands with the ill forces for factors like money, security and growth.
Following is an intense political thriller depicting the fall and rise of justice, the moments where the guiding angel of justice advises the bad to be safe from the hands of law and gives them directions for the same. A gripping script and a brilliant portrayal of characters, the age old saying that truth prevails besides whatever happens is proved right. The climax is presented so well that it shows a normal man’s limitations and his attempts to save justice which becomes fruitful.
Sreenivasan, as advocate Ravi, is at his usual best with a heavy dose of humor and the role of a frustrated subordinate who is denied all growth opportunities by a domineering boss. Sai Kumar pulls out his character with a natural ease and makes it yet another brilliant villain in Malayalam film history. Everyone else in the movie has done justice to their respective roles. Another noteworthy point of the movie is that no actor is wasted nor does any character lacks its depth.
Unlike the director, V.M.Vinu’s, previous works, this is not an emotional drama between relations / family. In short, Yes Your Honour is a brilliant movie with its legs strong on the ground with required elements in the right mix.
The word is - Do watch the movie (though 4 years old) if you havn't till now!!
