Synopsis: Kiran gets his dad's property and decides to turn it into a hotel. Intriguingly, all the customers who come to stay there, dies inexplicably. What's happening?
Movie Review: Frankly, most horror films made in Tamil cinema have only ended up as unintentional comedies. Director Deekay seems to understand this and though Yaamirukka Bayamey is a haunted house story, he goes for laughs more than chills. This approach (a very wise one) is what sets his film apart from recent successful films in the genre like Kanchana and Pizza. It is classier than the former and lacks the visual flair of the latter; there is a ghost-looking-for-revenge angle as in Kanchana, and like Pizza, it has some haunted house spooks, but, the film manages to carve its own space as both these tropes are used to generate humour.
The initial set-up is definitely tentative. We are introduced to Kiran ( Kreshna, who continues to pick interesting scripts), a schemer, and how he gets into trouble with a local dada Dorai by selling libido enhancement medicine. He comes to know about an ancestral property around the same time and goes to the hill station Kolliyur with his girlfriend Smitha ( Rupa Manjari), only to find that the property is a dilapidated mansion. On the advice of Sharath (Karuna), he refurbish his contact in the place, he refurbishes the place (with the money he windless from Dorai's son) and turns it into a lodge. Intriguingly, the guests who come to stay there start dying.
