Maari 2

It could be a good movie with another title, didn't have to bring the character "maari" here! let alone any connection with the previous movie, where is the min tone of maari?! pigeons, local gangs, rowdyness were the attracting theme of maari, trying to make him a superduper cool hero, you guys just spoiled the character. I would like this as a single movie, but as a "Maari" sequel? hell no!

I felt like the scriptwriter slept off after writing the first half of the film. When he start writing the 2nd half, he forgot the tone of Maari. And by the end, somehow managed to bring it a full movie. 2nd half doesn't fit well and it makes Maari2 a half baked show spoiling the fun. And 2nd half is too predictable too, (felt it same as Vijay's 'Theri' in storywise.)

Nobody knows why 2nd part of this movie was made but it was better than the 1st half in certain aspect. Awesome music, it is Yuvan. Moderate story/screenplay. Average performances. Very Good watchable action sequences. Kutty Don's dialogues were elevating. Definitely a one-time watchable.

Movie directors need to understand ..we have seen lots of masala movie and we can't take it more ...our new generation peoples are becoming smart to understand the depth of movie that impact their life not just some sloppy and useless mass audience film .. This was cringe Worthy when someone glorify a hero for his repulsiveness...

After the success of Maari, Balaji Mohan and Dhanush teams up again for Maari 2. But this time Yuvan Shankar Raja replaces Anirudh Ravichander as the Music Director.

Mari, the don who kills, smuggles for his living but treats well the people around him and he values his relationships. Apart from the first part, we have new characters like Kalai (his longtime bestie), Anandhi (his love interest), Vijaya (the collector),etc. He always roams around with his sidekicks Sani & Adithangi. Maari 2 mainly revolves around the life of maari, the reign, the reformation and the resurrection.

Balaji Mohan's direction and narration is nothing new in tamil movies but it didn't lose its steam in any moment. He tried to make as entertaining as possible like any masala movies. The scripting could have been much more better especially in the second half where it is reminded me of Thangamagan. Maari 2 showcases the Naughty & Whacky Goon with a golden heart which is a dud. Maari 2 is a total blend of comedy, mass scenes, action and sentiments. The comedy works out well even in the sentimental / serious scenes. The dance choreography is commendable mainly in Rowdy Baby which is already a chart buster but the placement was not convincing. Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score was appreciable and he really did a good job to the nature of the movie. Songs were okay. Action choreography was also convincing whole throughout the movie.

Dhanush totally rocked in his role with his macho attire and looks, dialogue delivery and his power packed perfromances. Sai Pallavi as Anandhi, the naughty and bold character delivered her finest performance and was a worth to watch. Almost all the lady characters has got its space to performance. That was a good sign. Varalaxmi Sharathkumar was fine, but the screen space were less. Kreshna's character was also commendable and his performance too. Tovino Thomas, who plays the antagonist was excellent in parts but the repeated dialogues and style made a bit boring. The character Beeja was safe in Tovino's hands even in the second part with a new attire. His tamil accent was fine but the modulation could have been better.

All in whole, Maari 2 is nowhere near to Maari but is an entertaining one time watch.

If you're BAD, I am your DAD.
