John (Venkat Reddy), an architect-designer, who lives all alone at his posh villa in ECR is plagued by various happenings around him. Trouble begins when a mysterious stranger enters his life. John spots him often in his house and feels that he is being followed by this man. He gets recurring dreams of some tragic incident and is disturbed by various characters that come knocking at his door. Either they disappear soon enough or are found dead, like the ghost buster sent by a friend who thought the house was haunted. His friends and colleagues seem to be conspiring against him and his girlfriend Pallavi (Upasana RC) cheating on him. He finds a hidden camera in his house that has a clip of two men and a murder being committed. John is panic-stricken and realises his life is in danger and races to unravel the truth.

Reception
The film was released across theatres on 4 February 2022. A critic from the Times of India wrote "this film deals with a lot of subjects, but fails miserably to connect deeply to your thoughts. If only the first half of the film had been written well with some fresh elements, Yaaro could have been another good psycho-thriller in Tamil cinema.[10] Also, a few scenes look amateurish and don't fit into the movie's template."[11] A reviewer from Maalai Malar also noted that the film was "forgettable".[12]
