With Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav’s survival thriller, Tu Yaa Main, hitting the big screens recently, the film has been drawing strong reactions from both audiences and critics. The excitement reached a new high at a special screening held in the South, attended by master filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who also shared his words of appreciation for the film.
The audience reaction video captures the excitement that followed the special screening of Tu Yaa Main, as they stepped out brimming with praise. While some called it a fantastic film, others described it as a breath of fresh air.
Adding to the buzz, legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam shared his appreciation, saying, “Bejoy Nambiar has brought a kinetic energy to the film that is best seen on the big screen with an audience.
Directed by Bejoy Nambiar, Tu Yaa Main is produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma under the banner of Colour Yellow, along with Vinod Bhanushali and Kamlesh Bhanushali of Bhanushali Studios Limited.
Tu Yaa Main follows Avani Shah (Shanaya Kapoor), the immaculately curated influencer known as Miss Vanity, and Maruti Kadam (Adarsh Gourav), a hustling rapper from Nalasopara. Their meet-cute at a music event begins as a strategic collaboration, but soon their life turns upside down when they get trapped with a crocodile in an empty 20 feet deep swimming pool.
Besides Shanaya and Adarsh, the film also stars Amruta Khanvilkar, Parul Gulati, and Ansh Chopra, among others.
Filmfare gave the film 3.5 out of 5 and wrote in its review, “That split is the film’s biggest weakness. The early emotional conflicts, family pressures, career dilemmas, class anxieties, are largely abandoned once the crocodile clocks in. It feels like two parallel stories awkwardly sharing screen time: one about love across social divides, the other about not becoming lunch. Still, in a Hindi film landscape that rarely experiments with survival thrillers, Tu Yaa Main deserves points for audacity. It is stylish, tense and powered by two committed leads who refuse to phone it in, even when trapped in a drained pool with a predator.”
