    A well written and best shots

    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.

    Shines in the 1st Half but not so much in the 2nd Half

    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.

    Can heroes adjust ??

    What is a trait of a hero in Bollywood or a telegu movie? He should be macho,able to beat at least 10 to 12 goons. Here it's totally opposite, he is coward as hell, one scene shows he finally thinks enough and goes with a pencil to beat them. Immediately realizes the wrong in that attempt and returns to the coward self.he keeps on saying life is about adjustments, so adjusting that he keeps on losing his personal space , dignity but hats off to the director the viewers will buy in that concept because he makes the viewer familiar about the heroes trait ( the very first scene shows instead of fighting in the que hero prefers to go to the train to fetch water , which in later part of the story used as a callback)

    A lovely entertainer with comedic punches where a coward cartoonist is forced to become a warrior as the cartoons world and real world collides. It's a unique concept, presented beautifully where all the characters do their work efficiently ( although except the main hero everyone is a prop without a character arch).

    Blockbuster Movie

    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.

    Entertaining first half and predictable dragged second half

    RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Amazon prime Source: Nil

    The director proved himself again that he can deliver social message in a commercial content. This time the commercial flavour is bit more, but still enjoyable one. The first half is 10/10, it racy, entertaining at the same time the screenplay is stick to the theme.

    The second half is quite manageable, but felt bit dragged. Even though the characters and approaching the politician is bit fresh, the predictability killed the entertainment. The climax scene is bit overdose of masala and still justifies to his cartoon story.

    The voice of imaginary character and how he handles the voice is awesome. The first half it was used for mostly for entertainment and the same is used for very good social message.

    Worth the watch.
