Mayaanadhi

Poignant love story that will leave you in tears. The couple has a great chemistry in this movie. If you are looking for a feel good romantic movie to watch over the weekend. Just go for it. It will make your day. Great acting by both the lead characters, Tovino Thomas and Aishwerya lakshmi. Music is also good. College portion could have been more. It would have reached more people if the Tamil dubbed version is available in ott. The plot is kind of unique and didn't remind me of any other movie. I ended up watching this movie after watching Aishwarya in Ponniyin selvan and Ammu. Kudos to the director as well.

Mayanadhi is much more than a viewing experience alone, it makes you feel the love. Mathan and Appu will leave a mark in your heart.

Excellent script, amazing music and ashique Abu's making of this is beyond comparison in Malayalam cinema.

Totally out of the league from formula movies. If you are a movie buff , it would also make you wonder, how could they get all the elements beautifully knit it together.

If it was released in 2021 in the OTT age, it would have have got national and international level attention , like other good movies this year.

A beautifull love story that shown in a different way. Good story line and the screenplay. Songs and bgm is enhanced the movie. Tovino's performance was vera level. Ended with positive.

The promos of 'Mayaandhi' didn't reveal much about the plot of the film and was more or less confusing without any high-point in particular to evoke excitement in the mind of the audience.On the contrary,Mayaanadhi,the film is an intense and emotional romantic thriller that offers a haunting cinematic experience making it undoubtedly one among the best feature films to come out from Mollywood this calendar year.

The screenplay scripted by the duo of Dileesh Nair and Syam Pushkaran is top-notch and utilizes subtle humor and real emotions to deliver an utterly realistic romance that's presented in the best possible way by Aashiq Abu who has created yet another passionate handiwork after his 2015 drama film 'Rani Padmini'.The narrative by Aashiq is riveting and utilizes its realistic pace to make us root for the lead characters Mathan and Appu in just few minutes into the presentation.

Mollywood has seen many intense romances in the past,but Mayaandhi will be long remembered for its uniqueness in expressing bold statements like "sex is not a promise" without being offensive for any section of the audience.The best thing about the romance here is that its volatile like every other real life romance and the subtle variations in the relationship has been presented brilliantly without any element of melodrama and cinematic masala.There are plenty of satirical one-liners that exposes the social scenario of today and the writer duo have worked-out them pretty well to evoke smiles from such social commentary bits without losing the element of thought underneath.

The movie can boast of the career best act by Tovino Thomas who has given out a splendid act as Mathan who is madly in love with the female protagonist Appu.Aishwarya Lekshmi who debuted earlier this year with the Nivin Pauly starrer 'Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela' has done a brilliant job as Appu,a struggling actor in the industry.All the supporting performances were impressive with notable ones being that of Leona Lishoy,Harish Uthaman and Ilavarasu.

This review will be incomplete without penning atleast a line about Rex Vijayan who has created a stunning background score and 4 haunting songs that uplifts the mood of the film big time.The solo 'Mizhiyil' sung by Shahabaz Aman is an awe-inspiring work that's sure to be in the playlist of music lovers for long time.Jayesh Mohan's frames were literally poetic and complimented the beauty of the narrative.Edits by Saiju Sreedharan were good.

Overall,Mayaanadhi is a brilliant on-screen romance that's not to be missed from the big screens this holidays.Go for it!

One of the best beautiful malayalam movies ever made. Mathan and Appu will haunt you for long.
