'Tu Yaa Main' Movie Review: Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor's Battle with a Crocodile Yields Passable Results
The film adapts a Thai survival story to explore urban class divides and social media culture through a couple trapped with a crocodile in a drained hotel pool.
- On 13 February 2026, Tu Yaa Main stars Adarsh Gourav and Shanaya Kapoor in a survival romance trapped in a drained 20-foot pool with a reptile after a professional meeting turns romantic.
- Framing water and floods as motifs, the film adapts Ping Lumpraploeng's Thai film The Pool, with Himanshu Sharma's story and Abhishek Bandekar's screenplay, set in Mumbai's class settings.
- Running 145 minutes, the film features a frighteningly convincing swimming-pool set and feral animatronic crocodiles, bolstered by Remy Dalai's cinematography and cameos from Parvathy Thiruvothu, Amruta Khanvilkar, and Shrikant Yadav.
- Critics judge Bejoy Nambiar's direction to be his most watchable in years, though the ordeal feels stretched and Shanaya Kapoor faces typecasting risks, despite well-etched leads.
- For date-night viewers, skip the slow first half and check into the survival drama just in time for the second-half pulpy thrills and jump scares, with a peculiar love triangle and padlocked ladder adding tension.
