What will Baalu do now forms the rest of the story. 

Review

The basic storyline of the movie is very simple and there is nothing much to rave about. Despite having a simple story, if the narration is good, it would have been better. But the slow-paced narration and sloppy scenes will irk the audience. After a point, the main conflict is kept aside and the director only highlighted the unnecessary subplots and characters which will irritate the audience.  

Director gave priority only to the unnecessary points and dragged the movie. The sloppy screenplay and slow-paced narration became the major setbacks of the film. It would have been better if the director had worked more on the main conflict of the film and also the character arcs instead of working hard on the points which don't make any sense to the story. The music is average and the dialogues are decent. Production values are impressive and the camera work is decent.  

Sriram's solid performance is too good. His character is always frustrated and irritated and Sriram pulled it off well. Rahul Ramakrishna delivered an amazing performance as usual. His screen presence is too good. Especially, the confrontation scenes between Rahul and Ram Sriram came out really well. Gemini Ganesh delivered an honest performance in the film. Kathi Mahesh emoted well. The rest of the characters made their presence felt 

Verdict

'Y' has a very simple plot line but gets dragged with unnecessary scenes and predictable proceedings. The movie doesn't make any impact on the audience and can be considered as an average fare.
