Maaveeran

MAAVEERAN: This was a really fun, beautiful film. The making was 💯💯 especially that climax cinematography. The acting was great and to me, Myskkin was a surprise. All the BGMs have that folk dance vibe which made me wanna dance, especially the climax BGM. While the 1st half was filled with comedy, the 2nd half gets less comical and more fun (in terms of dialogues and situations). But, the ending didn't feel that good to me.

The female lead only plays the role of most female leads in hero-led movies, which is to give the hero that motivational speech which makes him go rogue.

Still, a solid 8.5/10.

After some long time tamil cinema with some unique concept. The story was well written that from the beginning to end it will keep you engaged throughout the movie. I didn't expect that this movie would this much good.

The background voice dialogues are well disciplined tamil world that are pure. Just the way the comic story way. Shiva Karthikeyan did a good movie after some two lazy movies. He showed his true nature acting. Also Yogi Babu s comics timming was good as he is well in that. One of the best things is this movie had very good cinematography. It has range of wide shot from everywhere. Just like you are also part of the movie.

The movie starts with a casual hero who never want to get into any sort of trouble in his life. And he even says - "We have to adjust and live". And, suddenly things change with a auditory hallucination. The good thing is the audience would have "believed" everything post that given it is fantasy. But the writers have carefully made it believable and everything happening in a series of "Final Destination" kind of screenplay with outstanding comedy from Yogi Babu.

Sivakarthikeyan is unbelievable in this role juggling between a possessed man who never want to be the chosen one. The small drawback is the climax plot making the villain look silly and foolish!!

In detail, Siva Karthikeyan has nailed his role in this movie with both comedy and action. He merged into his character. When u read comics.. u'll think what if u are a superhero... sure Maaveeran gives u the feel. When great power comes, a great responsibility... this movie does that n engaging... Siva has become a performer in Maaveeran... Yogi did his part very well & will not disappoint audience... Aditi done her role perfectly... Madonne Ashwin tried passing the pain of slum people's sufferings after entering the apartments & did well in that. Myysskkin a good villain with no trace as much. Music & bgm is good. Overall a good entertainer to watch with family n friends... Movie runtime should be trimmed. Rating 3.5/5.

I have never seen such unique usage of voiceovers/narrations before; In mainstream entertainers, they are primarily used in flashback scenes or to build anticipation around the central character, but the way 'Maaveeran' used this specific trope is quite intriguing, to say the least.

Not to mention, the action or the choreography, to be precise, seemed slightly refreshing as well. The way in which the camera moves and captures every kick and punch; it feels swell and looks damn cool. Some credit must also go to Sivakarthikeyan, who played his part with such unabashed conviction. Nobody else would have done a better job; he looked like an ideal fit for this role.

My only major complaint is its 156 minutes duration; it sometimes felt unnecessarily long. Other than that, it's a respectable commercial venture, a familiar dish, albeit served with a distinctive recipe and a much different flavour.
