Maragadha Naanayam

I watched this film in Hindi dub on Hotstar. The film has good comedy meaning it's not over the top, it's comedy is light & the story too is fun and simple. It's a good family film.

The 'hero' with a few others try to get a cursed stone that belonged to an old Pallava king who died with with the stone. This film is the hero & his unusual team's journey and the petty villains they encounter. The film doesn't deviate with any songs or romantic story line and stays focused on it's path & that's the best thing about this film. Brahmananda makes a cameo.

Worth watching with family.

Good plot, liked the concept of curse on a ancient stone. Most importantly, the villain in this film is an old rusted truck, which reminds of a decade ago water lorries. Ramdoss(Munishkanth) has done his job extremely well. Climax is not that clear, could be expanded. I expected some terrific chasing scenes by villain (truck), but what available in scenes are usual boring runways.

Very good comedy movie, can watch it with entire family. I watched in hindi dubbed.

Totally fresh comedy movie.Must watchable; It was included in many tv shows in the catagories of top 10 tamil movies of kollywood 2017.

While the length of the film and its supposed sentiment towards the spiritual side may put you off a bit, there's still an exciting central plot hidden somewhere in the film that's not fully explored into. The comedy largely works because of its ridiculousness; the casting choices are sublime. Ramdoss, Anandaraj and Daniel Annie Pope fetch maximum points on hilarity. The short scene with M.S Bhaskar is a laugh riot (where he questions the gangster whose name is 'Twinkle Ramanathan' if he runs a play-school!). Cracks you up when Ramdoss tells his fellow spirits that the Black Nun from 'The Conjuring 2' is just a relative of theirs, hence there's no need to be scared of her, only to jump off the seat in sheer fright the very next second. More laughs emanate during the 'torture' scene.

The romance between Aadhi and Nikki is short-lived but how her character makes a return to the story is interestingly done. The scenes don't pack a punch as a coherent whole but are entertaining in bits and pieces. The climax sequence is also low on humor and more reliant on 'spirit-sentiment' and this works only in parts.

Still, there's plenty more fun to be had watching 'Maragadha Naanayam' than your typical (cliched) Tamil horror-comedy.
