Chennai's You Mee takes one on a flavourful journey through Japan and beyond
Sichuan Crispy Chicken, hibachi fried rice and dorayaki pancakes are a welcome addition to the options available at Express Avenue mall. You Mee, which opened recently, is already popular with diners. The welcoming manga-inspired decor at this pan-Asian restaurant, in white, black and red, is at once dramatic and cheerful, setting the tone for an immersive and inviting experience. Pan Indian food is having its moment, as Indian diners get more adventurous experimenting beyond fried rice and Sichuan noodles. You Mee offers a glimpse into trending cuisines and dishes from Japanese ramen bowls to dimsum and ramen. The model has proved so successful that they have opened across the country, including in Delhi, Mumbai, Kochi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mohali and Pune. I begin with a Prawn tempura sushi roll, which is light and crisp with perfectly-cooked prawns. The roll is accompanied by crumbled fish roe, cucumber, and a touch of mayonnaise The menu offers a well-balanced mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes and vegan options. In a bid to cater to a larger audience, the food is designed for Indian diners, so there is an interesting variety of vegetarian dishes, from eight different types of vegetarian sushi to an addictively simple Japanese salad made with spinach and seasoned with a creamy sesame dressing. Among the appetisers, while the crisp lotus stem is fairly standard fare, the chilli coriander chicken dumpling and crisp chicken Sichuan stand out for their punchy flavours. The coriander chicken dumpling, filled with minced chicken, red chilli, and shiitake mushrooms, has the right balance of spices, and goes well with its tangy coriander sauce topping. We also try their New York Chilli Cheese oil dimsum, a signature dish at You Mee. This is a cheese lover's dream, with a generous stuffing, made of cream cheese, mushroom, water chestnuts, then drizzled with chilli oil. Tempted by the description of their Sichuan Crispy chicken, we order that as well, and it turns out to be a bold spicy dish of stir-fried chicken with a Himalayan chilli, black beans and Sichuan pepper. The Japanese style Miso soup that we ordered arrives hot, with a pleasing umami from the dashi stock and miso paste. The soup comes with an option of tofu or prawn. For our main dish, we decide on spicy chicken ramen. The menu also offers five vegetarian ramen options, which include a vegan coconut curry, braised tofu and kimchi. Our ramen arrives piping hot, filled with stir fried chicken chunks, bell peppers, and vegetables in a spicy miso broth. The dish is not overly fiery but has a pleasant, gentle heat. Our meal ends with the coconut palm jaggery pudding, described as a Japanese souffle. WIth all the familiar flavours of a traditional jaggery dessert, this rich, caramelised pudding is made with coconut milk, palm jaggery and egg yolk, and flavoured with cinnamon and lemongrass. A drizzle of caramel sauce completes the dish. With generous portions and a thoughtfully curated menu, You Mee offers well-executed Japanese elements alongside pan-Asian influences, as well as a tasty break from shopping. You Mee, Express Avenue Mall. 11am to 11pm. Cost for two: ₹1,500. For reservations, call 8329002213.

What happens when a classic director chases the reels generation? The answer is Mani Ratnam's ‘Thug Life'
Filmmaker Mani Ratnam and actor Kamal Haasan collaborated last for Nayakan in 1987. The film was a blockbuster and continues to remain a high point in both their careers. Though Nayakan was heavily borrowed from Francis Ford Coppola's Godfather (1972), the performances, music and visual style allowed it to carve an iconic space in Tamil film history. And it continues to influence young filmmakers in various ways until now. So when the filmmaker and actor announced their coming together after 37 years, there was immense expectation for their new film Thug Life. However, post the very first show, the film has been uniformly panned by both critics and audiences. Ratnam's films were once inspired by Hollywood and Japanese cinema. But Thug Life shockingly comes across as a poor imitation of a Lokesh Kanagaraj film. There might have been a time in the past when it was enjoyable to indulge in a philosophical banter over whether cinema imitates life or life imitates cinema. But that debate is officially extinct today. Today, we wonder if cinema imitates YouTube videos or Instagram reels. Going by the attention span of the audience that has consistently been dropping, it is quite clear that the reels format is winning this game. In an effort to nail the blockbuster, young filmmakers like Kanagaraj (Vikram, 2022), Karthik Subbaraj (Retro, 2025), Nelson Dilipkumar (Jailer, 2023) and Adhik Ravichandran (Good Bad Ugly, 2025) are increasingly making films that resemble a compilation of unrelated Insta reels — but each delivering an adrenaline punch. In the process, storytelling, character development, narrative progression and emotional connection are all gladly sacrificed to keep the audience engaged at every moment. This is achieved through recurring sequences of extreme violence, action and bloodshed, adrenaline-filled, often illogical, twists and turns in the narrative, reusing iconic Ilaiyaraaja or Deva's songs from the '80s and '90s, hat-tipping moments from old classic films of the same male star and a post-climax surprise scene that should mandatorily hint at a potential sequel. So, instead of narrating a story that gradually builds to the climax, what we witness is a series of climaxes. This is the equivalent of doing away with a five-course meal and replacing every course with different desserts for a sugar rush. While this often tends to exhaust the audience by the end of the film, it does help in keeping them completely engaged throughout its running time. In his effort to compete with contemporary filmmakers, Mani Ratnam has chosen to make an anti-Mani Ratnam film this time. While he was lauded in the past for exhibiting his mastery over the amalgamation of light, sound and emotion, he has chosen to do away with it in Thug Life. Instead, he has attempted to make a reel-collage film. However, Thug Life proves that the filmmaker is still caught up in the old world of emotion and drama and might not be fully convinced by the new kind of filmmaking. In particular, he doesn't seem to relish violence or going over-the-top as much as contemporary filmmakers do. So, in trying to find a balance between the old-world emotional drama and the new-world adrenaline rush, his new film lands neither here nor there. It completely lacks emotional connection, but at the same time, the filmmaker's understatedness fails to offer the thrills of an over-the-top film. While it might be considered blasphemy to make this comparison, when one contrasts Thug Life with Ravichandran's Good Bad Ugly, it is evident why the former failed with the audience. Ravichandran's film was unabashed in its quest to thrill the audience. It willingly buries story and emotion under the deep ocean and focuses primarily on being deliciously over-the-top. It managed to create both a charm and an element of irony where it both hero-worshipped and parodied its male star. Unfortunately, Mani Ratnam's film has no such takeaway. Instead, in its greedy effort to have the cake and eat it too, it falls flat. The writer is a Chennai-based filmmaker
