Maryan

"Maryan" a typical movie came out this year with a very strong performance by Dhanush and Parvathy as the lead and also with A.R.Rahman's remarkable music.

Director Bharatbala who did "Jana Gana Mana" album with A.R.Rahman (an Oscar award winner) before given his first directional venture "Maryan" with some soulful love, emotions, pain and tragedy.

A real incident should be equally mixed with strong love and all commercial elements through "Maryan". But it is presented in a slow pace that creates the question "how this movie do well at box office collection?" "Maryan" plot remembers Manirathnam's "Roja" that's a major drawback of story narration by the director. Also the slow pace of the screenplay remembers the style of Manirathnam makings.

The plot is very simple and the scenes should be easily identified by the audience but through strong performance by the lead pair the movie gets more interesting towards the end. First half is packed with full of love and emotions by the lead pair. Second half is fully packed with tragedy and survival.

Dhanush (an award winning actor) has given a solid performance through the character Maryan and gives life to the movie. Definitely this year he should be the one who will give a strong competition to all other actors, those who are hungry to get the National award. As a fisherman and lover in the first half he shows all his skill of acting and as a hostage in the second half he is simply outstanding and brilliant. He goes to his next level of acting abilities through the second half. Especially in sequences like telephone speaking, just before Kadal Rasa song and at the climax portion. He should be appreciated for choosing movies like this after got an award. None of the actor can do this Maryan character except him. Hat's off to him.

Parvathy(who did "Poo" before)did an equally excellent role as Panimalar. She looks very beautiful in the movie and acted very excellent also gives a tough acting competition to Dhanush. One of the rare actresses who plays equal role to hero after a long time in Tamil cinema industry.

Other supporting characters should equally given their best acting. Especially Uma Riaz, Appukutty and Jagan did their job good.

The great plus of the movie is A.R.Rahman's music. Songs are already in chart-busters. All songs are done with beautiful emotions. "Enga Pona Rasa", "Netru Aval Irundaal", "Innum Konjam Neram" are the sweetest melodies "Kadal Rasa", "Nenje Ezhu" are packed with soul and emotions. "Sonapariya" gives the joyful pleasure. BG score also given more support to the movie. Especially in second half A.R did an excellent BG work.

Cinematography by Marc Koninckx is very valuable and shows technically brilliant in many sequences. Scenes like Dhanush waiting inside the sea and desert regions are brilliantly photographed by him. Editing by Vivek Harshan gives equal support for the movie.

Overall "Maryan" is a typical Tamil cinema and it should be appreciated for brilliant performance by Dhanush and Parvathy as the lead and for A.R.Rahman's best music.

Go and watch it for Dhanush and A.R.Rahman.

One of the best Tamil "genuine entertaining" films till date where the famous music video and ad film director Bharat Bala paints a beautiful scenario of a man who fights against all odds and gets himself saved from the shackles of initially the local villain in Tamil Nadu and then the local militia in Sudan. The film is a well crafted and brilliant narration laden film, which scores full points in the screenplay (Bharat and Sriram Rajan), the characters whose presence make the frames complete with their excellent performances. A word about A.R. Rahman's music score: REFRESHING. He hits with a large bang in giving the film a great music score which graces the film, continuing his excellence this year from Kadal and Raanjhanaa. A word about the cinematography: BRILLIANT. Marc Konnikx, AFC, turns every frame of the film into an outstanding piece of art, which makes your jaw drop. The editing by Vivek Harshan is slick and brilliant and the the Sound Design and DI work is again brilliant. Performances by Salim Kumar, Jagan, Uma Riyaz Khan and Dagbeth Tweh are brilliant. Parvathy Menon is beautiful and adorable in the film in her performances and beauty as well. Dhanush is EXCELLENT, who returns with his charms that he displayed in films like "Aadukulam", "Mayakkam Enna" and the recent cult "Raanjhanaa". The great and smooth narration flow makes "Maryan" a great weekend fare. A must watch even more a Non Tamil as the film has been released with English subtitles. My rating would be 4. 5/ 5.

This film is, was and will always be amazing. It was an amazing experience from director Bharatbala, Oscar-winning A.R. Rahman, and of course National award winning actor Dhanush. Firstly, the film had the best cinematography ever, kudos to the Belgian film maker, Marc Koninckx. The music was of course, breath-taking, no doubt about that. The story was simple and perfect to fit the 'hope' theme promised. Every actor in this movie has obviously given their best, mainly actor Dhanush. The first half of the film reveals his origins as a fisherman, while the second half is mainly in Africa, depicting his working life there. Every frame of this film has been shot with meaning and realism. This movie, in my opinion, has surpassed many Hollywood films in many ways. Overall, Maryan is an amazing masterpiece and is highly recommended for 'A' class audiences only.
