Maareesan

The story sets the tone with Fahadh Faasil as 'Dhayalan' doing small level thefts and meets Vadivelu as 'Velayudham Pillai' in an unexpected situation and how they get close and setting their journey on a bike and facing lot of things in their journey make up the story.

Hatsoff to director Sudheesh Sankar for giving the audience an excellent movie. This movie is narrated in such a beautiful way and story plot is too good and combo of Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil elevated the movie to another level.

This movie kept us continuously engaging until very end. Completely very different shade of 'Vadivelu' as an actor in this movie is really very good to see and his facial expressions was so nice which reflects that he has some grim past and my respect to him reached different heights. What we pursue in the first half of the movie changes in the second half which keeps this movie in another League. Fahad Faasil acted effortlessly with his acting skills and his presence was too good to see and keeps us pumped up throughout. The director has communicated things in a precise and clear manner in this movie. Other Characters played by Vivek Prasanna & Kovai Sarala has done their role really well.

Overall a brilliant and excellent movie with story plot, narration and acting and makes us very satisfied after watching it.

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.

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.

I loved the movie Maareesan! Initially, I thought it would be similar to Meiyazhagan films, but it took a different turn. The first half was engaging, and the plot twist after the interval was expected yet well-executed. While it had some typical cinematic elements, it stood out in its own way. The only drawback was the climax fight, which felt a bit dragged. Otherwise, the movie was perfect. Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil carried the film effortlessly, making it a must-watch.

A well written and executed movie. Vadivel & Fahad carry the movie. All the other characters couldn't come close to their performance, and Kovai Sarala's casting here doesn't feel right. An otherwise amazing film was marred by a few dragging scenes and the commercial elements in the final 10 minutes.
