Maareesan

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.

Honestly did not expect this one to hit me the way it did. Thought it would be a lighthearted journey with an old man and a thief but this film slowly pulls you into something way more emotional and intense.

Vadivelu is the heart of it. Not his usual comedy stuff. He is quiet and calm but there is something heavy behind his eyes in every scene. Fahadh plays off that energy perfectly. Their back and forth is not loud or flashy but weirdly gripping.

The story takes its time but it builds so well. At first I just enjoyed the ride but by the end I was fully invested. Some moments really stayed with me even after the movie ended. It talks about pain and memory and doing the right thing even when everything is against you.

There are a couple of small subplots that kind of just fade away though. Like there is this bit about the police trying to find a stolen bike after someone complains but it never really goes anywhere. Same with a phone that gets stolen early on and is never brought up again. Not a huge deal but just felt a bit random.

Still, none of that takes away from how powerful the film is. Not your usual mass movie. No punch lines or big action. Just a slow burn that gets under your skin and makes you feel something real.

Definitely worth watching. One of those films that stays quiet but hits hard.

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 first half of the film has been done with a slow pace of screenplay but which is actually needed to the second half writing. Eager begins with the pre interval scene and there film starts to run with many curiosities. Even though the first half was bit slow, but the visuals and there screen presence makes us never bore. Vadivelu and faasil perfectly done their screen presence. An experience of thriller movie you never had before.

It was good while starting 1st half nice executed till interval comedy doesn't work for me fahad and Vadivelu acted well 2 nd half screen play could be well executed suspense ends with in 2nd half's starting point.bgm cinematography plays good support for the film screen play get little bit flatt in the 2nd half fahad Vadivelu 100%
