Maareesan

A well written and executed movie. Vadivel & Fahad carry the movie. All the other characters couldn't come close to their performance, and Kovai Sarala's casting here doesn't feel right. An otherwise amazing film was marred by a few dragging scenes and the commercial elements in the final 10 minutes.

Maareesan is a well made drama-thriller that follows thaya(a thief who's has been just released from a case)and an old man named pillai(an Alzheimer patient who's struggling with his life)performed by two exceptional actors Fahad fasil and Vadivelu,the two powerful pillars of the film. This isn't a story that is all new but the way they presented it with the screenplay is something that glued me to the screen in the later half unfolding multiple twists. It takes time to build the characters in the first half which might seem slow for some but people should normalise watching slow paced thrillers to get more unique works which gives a good experience overall. Of course it has some flaws and has some odd scenes but that doesn't make this film any weak. Do Watch it in theaters for the experience.

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.

A little bit slow. .but engaging and interesting . Both actors are superb.in future i have great hope from this director.. movie lacks tight script but subject is interesting. One song is very catchy even in Hindi.

I must say not very great but it would be remembered for its new style of telling a story which is also a copy right of malyalam industry.

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.
