Story

After a hospital administrator dies, a policeman finds out the death is linked to a series of grisly crimes.

'Yaakkai' which means body begins quite interestingly as a billionaire Radha Ravi, hospital owner is killed, placed in his costly car and rolled down fourteen storeys. The arrogant son Guru Somadundaram arrives from the US and straightaway is established as evil who obviously engineered his dad's death. Enter the diabetic cop Prakash Raj who immediately marks Guru and starts his investigation. Then we are introduced to the hero Krishna, a VISCOM student who falls in love at first sight with college mate Swathi an angel in disguise as a human. An auto driver, ambulance driver and the hospital manager are killed and suddenly a twist occurs wherein the hero is shown as the killer. What happens next is forms the rest of the screenplay.

Swathi Reddy's character is reminiscent of Asin's much acclaimed one in 'Ghajini'.

Nevertheless she looks pretty, gives the right expressions and is the only saving grace. Krishna has been well utilised in films like 'Kazhugu' and 'Yamirukka Bayamey' but in this one he seems to be in constant doubt whether he can carry the role of a college student and sadly it shows on the screen. How much ever he tries to be sprightly , wearing a permanent grin he is unconvincing. Prakash Raj is his usual self assuredly executing the diabetic angle. Guru Somasundaram has built his reputation with his extraordinary work in 'Aaranya Kaandam', 'Jigarthanda' and 'Joker' should forget this one quickly as a bad dream. The badly written role makes Guru struggle like a novice and he suffers further trying to pass on as a US return leaving the audience in splits with his dialogue delivery. Radha Ravi is wasted while M.S.Bhaskar proves his mettle in a serious role.
