Maareesan

An Amazing Road Trip Comedy-Thriller in Tamil Cinema!

A brilliantly crafted film featuring two lead characters with equally strong and valid motives. Their individual arcs are unbelievably well-written and converge beautifully, creating a powerful and emotional impact.

The writing is razor-sharp - every single dialogue carries weight, adding layers to the story and offering clues that make the twist both surprising and believable.

With two legendary actors delivering top-notch performances, the film becomes a masterclass in acting.

Visually, it's a treat - the natural color palette and outstanding work by the DI team bring the road trip to life in the most realistic way possible.

Without a doubt, a must-watch film among recent releases. A perfect blend of thrills, comedy, emotion, and cinematic craft.

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.

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.

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.

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.
