Maareesan

Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu carry the movie effortlessly from start to finish. For Fahadh, this felt like a complete cakewalk-he slips into the role with ease. But the real surprise here is Vadivelu. This is truly his best performance to date, a side of him we've never seen before. Huge credit to Sudheesh Sankar for showcasing what a phenomenal actor Vadivelu is 👌.

The retro song was another highlight, it felt organic and natural, unlike the forced trend we see in many films these days. While the second half does have some lag, the movie overall remains engaging and delivers a wholesome watch.

It's a different type of road journey which appears to be a cat and mouse story but turns into a mouse and snake(s) story. Just watch this movie without any real(lity) expectations as there are not many ideal films. Only concern is about the staging of some serious events in the second half which could have been better. The goosebump moment is of course a Raja song , the timing and the staging (happening in a real stage) is a bliss.

A little bit slow. .but engaging and interesting . Both actors are superb.in future i have great hope from this director.. movie lacks tight script but subject is interesting. One song is very catchy even in Hindi.

I must say not very great but it would be remembered for its new style of telling a story which is also a copy right of malyalam industry.

Maareesan is a well made drama-thriller that follows thaya(a thief who's has been just released from a case)and an old man named pillai(an Alzheimer patient who's struggling with his life)performed by two exceptional actors Fahad fasil and Vadivelu,the two powerful pillars of the film. This isn't a story that is all new but the way they presented it with the screenplay is something that glued me to the screen in the later half unfolding multiple twists. It takes time to build the characters in the first half which might seem slow for some but people should normalise watching slow paced thrillers to get more unique works which gives a good experience overall. Of course it has some flaws and has some odd scenes but that doesn't make this film any weak. Do Watch it in theaters for the experience.

One important point - Vadivelu's disease - every movie he will urinate in his pant. In this movie also he did the same. I don't know what pleasure he is having in these kinds of scenes. Nasty habit from a good actor. Vadivelu being a very good actor, keeping urinating scenes, a usual habit in his scenes, spoils our mood to continue to watch the movie.
