2023 – Maamannan

48. Maamannan

-Watched this movie in theatre only due to Mari Selvaraj and the hype created around Vadivelu
-The core plot is treat people equally which has been filmed with political background
-Vadivelu’s transformation is quiet different which was good to watch, but couldn’t avoid laughing even for his serious reactions
-Performance wise Fahadh has stole the entire show which is nothing new for him
-First half goes very fast whereas screenplay has nothing different in second half which thus makes it a normal commercial film
-AR Rahman has provided a excellent background score which has been highly elevated by Mari’s writing but the second half makes this an average film
