Maaman

I watched Maaman and it touched my heart in a very personal way. The bond shown between the uncle and the child reminded me of my own uncle, who sadly passed away. Watching this film brought back so many memories of the love, care, and protection he gave me. I couldn't stop thinking about him throughout the movie.

The film beautifully captures the importance of a thaimaman's love - a love that is often pure, selfless, and deeply emotional. Soori's performance felt real and relatable. It's not just a story, but a feeling for those who grew up close to their uncles.

This movie made me smile, cry, and most importantly, feel grateful for the time I had with my uncle. I truly miss him. Thank you to the makers of Maaman for showing such a meaningful relationship on screen.

This film feels like a relic from a bygone era, clinging to outdated tropes and lifeless storytelling. The pacing drags unbearably, stretching simple scenes into tedious endurance tests. Dialogue is packed with clichés, making interactions painfully predictable. The characters lack depth, stumbling through forced melodrama. Attempts at comedy fall flat, inducing more secondhand embarrassment than laughter. Predictable twists and contrived conflicts make it exhausting to watch. Ultimately, it's a tiresome ordeal, best avoided unless nostalgia blinds you to its glaring flaws. I don't know why many people gave good rating to this movie, they should try to understand the new generation and give a movie like that.

A heartfelt family drama starring Soori, who gives his all as a devoted uncle. His performance is genuine, funny, and deeply emotional. Aishwarya Lekshmi shines as his wife, adding warmth and realism. The bond between Soori and his nephew Laddu is touching, but the story also shows how love needs balance. Prasanth Pandiyaraj's direction keeps things grounded in rural life. Music by Hesham Abdul Wahab enhances every emotion. Though reviews were mixed, the film delivers solid acting, meaningful themes, and a lovable family message. Every character was portrayed with so much depth and sincerity that it felt incredibly real and relatable. The emotions in this movie are raw, honest, and beautifully expressed, making it a truly emotional rollercoaster for the viewer. It's worth watching for its sincerity.

The first half of Maaman carries its share of narrative lags, yet somehow never loses its rhythm. Despite occasional dips in momentum, it sustains viewer engagement with just enough charm and curiosity. It's the second half, however, that truly shifts the emotional gears - a poignant, stirring ride that strikes a chord with even the most stoic hearts. This emotional surge elevates the film from a passable experience to a genuinely touching, feel-good watch, worthy of a one-time sit-down.

Through heartfelt performances and nuanced storytelling in its latter half, Maaman finds its emotional depth and delivers a message that lingers. Not flawless, but definitely memorable.

This is a family movie and typical tamil drama ( that is it is lot of emotions, loud bgms, pretty illogical behaviour and a whole heap of cliches)

So I had clear perception going into the movie and the movie had all - a bit too cliched and climax and pre- climax was ridiculously over dramatic ( worse than TV soaps )

The highlight of the movie has been the performances - Soori, Aishwarya Lakshmi and Swasika and the surprise package of Baba Bhasker all were really good - especially Soori and Baba Bhasker (though his screen time low )

Had the pre-climax be better and ending a bit more paced ( it happens too suddenly - the whole section of pre-climax around their grandparents could have been trimmed or excluded and given more depth and detail to the resolution) - the movie would have been above average.
