Maanaadu

I went into this movie with 0 expectations, and it was SO MUCH better than I thought it would be.

People have tried different things in Kollywood in past with little success, while this different attempt deserves credit, if the movie is bad, it's just bad. But Tamil audience gets up in arms about the bad reviews and says "You'd watch the exact same concept in a Hollywood movie, but you trash it in Kollywood? You're anti-national!" LMAOwut?

THIS is how those movies should have panned out. Glad that the general Tamil audience has something to compare the deservedly trash movies to. Shoutout to Venkat Prabhu for trying something different and actually pulling it off really well.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Simbu, SJ Surya did a great job, however, the writing and editing steal the show. This bold script could have ended up being trash, but faaar from it. You, of course, have to suspend some disbelief (which you need to do for Hollywood movies as well) and this movie will keep you engaged, from start to finish. No mirch masala, no drama. No duets and unnecessary songs and dances; overall a no-nonsense movie, the likes of which you've not watched in Tamil cinema for a while.

Watch this in the theaters to really be immersed, especially for Yuvan Shankar Raja's music.

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil RECOMMENDED

The time loop concept is regionalised superbly. They added nice mass masala and the repeated scenes are handled cleverly.

Its definitely the comeback movie for both STR and VP. And cherry on the top is SJ Surya. I cant imagine anyone on his Role. He is so comic and con at the same time.

After second half the sequences between STR and SJ are high level entertainment points of the movie... it has its own drawback also like templated time loop sequences, bit slow pace in the first half and bit lengthy action sequences... Still the movie is entertaining to the core.

Worth the watch.

Maanaadu, One of the best Indian film in recent years. I am sure that this movie will be remaked in Hindi. Such a great movie. S. J. Suriya acting is really excellent.

I want the film to collect more than 100 crores. Every one watch the film in theatre.

A Time Loop concept which has used perfectly by Venkat Prabhu. STR shining in this movie. SJ Suriya's comic sense and villainism was really enjoyed by audience. A perfect entertainer for sure. This is an actual DIWALI🔥🔥🔥🔥

SJ SURYA acting is rocking. Simbu interval scene is the best in this movie. I expect part 2 from venkat prabu. Hats off to director for the script.

Yuvan Bgm is the terrific. For every scene different bgm. Simbu and yuvan combo are always a magic.
