Maragadha Naanayam

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.

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

A comedy filled fantasy film. Its definitely a perfect family entertainer. I found that the acting was not that great. A cast change would have been great. The storyline is super interesting. 2nd half was filled with comedy. Overall a good movie

With Aadhi and Nikki Galrani leading a stellar cast, the film navigates through an intriguing plot centered around a mythical emerald with finesse and humor.

The impeccable pacing, engaging storyline, and memorable performances make it a standout movie that captivates from beginning to end. "Maragatha Naanayam" is a must-watch for its innovative approach to storytelling and its ability to entertain and engage audiences across the board.

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.
