Maari 2

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...

A brilliantly plotted first half even if you feel a little bit cliché still it is the best part the 2nd part comes with a bit of lag with sudden twists and turns but overall predictable tovino as beeja and maari ruled the first half but tovino hasn't got the same in second half the mass scenes and humour was good somewhat equal to Maari 1 it really feels absence of anirudh the bgm and songs are not up to mark

The movie is highly under rated.. Nice story, movie above expectations.. 🙌👏

Maari2 (2018) was a Tamil Film starring Dhanush and Sai Pallavi in the lead. The movie was a sequel to Maari1 released back in 2015. The story revolves around the lead character Maari and how he manages with various situations and peoples.

Being a sequel the story doesn't have much to inherit from the Maari1. The story could be said with another charatcerisation and not necessarily with Maari. For Maari1 lovers, Maari2 will be a disappointment since the character wasn't expected to be like this. The energetic background score from Maari is the major missing.

The plot and story was good and had been better in another place and not as a sequel to Maari.

Positives: Dop, Bgm Negatives: Exaggerated Maari Characterisation

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.
