Mathagam

Atharva has done it beautifully in this movie unlike his previous plays. And s usual Manikandan had led this movie tremendously. Direction is very detailedly done. Everybody has done their best i would say.

Screenplay and languages been handled and placed in the right time and right places.

Must watch. I wonder why Manikandan is not getting many movies. It seems that he is having a lot of potential with him always. Such a wonderful actor. As usual Gowtham menon had proved himself again. He is not only a good director but also a good actor too. DD also played seamlessly.

Season 2 shall be released as soon as possible. We are waiting eagerly.

Its a classic theme of "Decent Gangster vs. Grey Cop" which often explores moral ambiguity and the thin line between right and wrong. Mathagam is the same where the screenplay weaves a complex narrative, highlighting the conflicting values of the characters. The characterization is crucial and (director has done amazing work here) portraying the internal struggles and motivations of both the "good" gangster and the morally ambiguous cop. It's a genre that thrives on suspense, intricate plot twists, and ethical dilemmas, providing a gripping cinematic experience for the audience. If you are a lover of details and good dialogues, Go for it.

Mathagam season 01 has five episodes.

The premise is interesting as it comes under the cop vs gangster theme which is always an interesting theme. But the problem with the series is that it is just expositions rather than showing. The series has a lot of interesting characters and performances but all of it is like a tease for the second season. The characters and their strengths are explained through dialogues but none of it can be experienced on screen. We can't tell if the series is interesting or not until we watch the next season. Screenplay is where it lags in this season, let's hope they write it better in second season.

Could have casted anyone else in atharva role.

His acting is the same in all his movies. So

predictable and boring. Didn't feel connected

because of the weak acting of the protagonist.

The series is overall good. But story moves too slow.

Not so gripping story line.

Even DD, Mani, GVM and other artists acted so well.

Don't feel like there is a need for season 2, could

have just finished the story in this season's episodes.

If the story moves a little faster, with a good protagonist, not be too draggy a story.

Maybe would keep the watcher more engaged and connected to the series.

Let's wait and see season 2.

Waste of time" would be an understatement when describing my experience watching "Mathagam." I was intrigued by the prospect of delving into a unique narrative, but what I encountered was a convoluted mess that left me questioning the director's intentions and storytelling choices.

In an interview, Atharvaa, one of the key actors in the film, shared that he had questioned the director about the possibility of turning "Mathagam" into a conventional theatrical experience. The director's response, claiming that such a shift would compromise the depth of character portrayal, now appears to be a baffling justification for a truly misguided endeavor.

The film sprawls over five seemingly never-ending episodes, attempting to dissect and elucidate the intricacies of its characters. However, this approach backfires, as these extended episodes add nothing substantial to the plot or character development. Instead, they merely serve as a showcase of the director's inability to effectively communicate his narrative in a concise and engaging manner.
