Maari

Just awful! Just watched the first season of Peaky blinders and realized how a masterpiece was obliterated by this mindless stolen copy.

Dhanush Sir is always known for his movies which are must watch but this movie is just a timepass movie. Not so good Not so bad. It is a masterpiece for mass audience but I like mass with class so it is a medium movie for me.

Total rubbish of a movie. A supposedly Gangster flick with comic elements, the film falls flat. Dhanush tries to gamely carry this so- called movie on his own, but despite his decent acting and timing, it really doesn't redeem it.

The story is the same masala related to a Don of a area. In Tamil, this guy will be a hero, a Porikki (tapori) type and a well heeled fair girl would turn up to spice the romantic angle. The bad cop item is also there. It was boring. Of course, these movies have audience and make some money. So, if you like Porriki type of tamil movie, this may be your timepass to watch. Otherwise, stay out.

This is the most unique rowdy movie u would ever see!! Loads of love for heart-throbbing Dhanush. Even in Nayagan movie, u guys rated 8.8/10, when in that film, Kamal Hassan faces lots of problems due to family life, which has been rightfully said as "WASTE" by our Dhanush. A must watch comedy movie. If real men don't like this movie, which explains real masculinity, u guys are not at all men.

Since the Baashha days, leading stars donning don roles has become a big trend. We have seen a Godfather-style Velu Naicker, a larger-than-life Manik Baasha, and a stylish David Billa but Balaji Mohan's Maari is different. Maari portrayed by Dhanush is a naughty and comic don who doesn't care about anything nor anyone. Dhanush's characterization is interesting in Maari and it's a delight to watch his performance. He is the complete entertainment in Maari with his ravishing swag look and his screen presence. Anirudh's background score adds the massy feel needed and it's a fire-cracking moment whenever we hear it in the film. Balaji Mohan has packaged Maari as a mass commercial entertainer but unfortunately, it does only shine for Dhanush's performance. Except for him, we haven't a strong antagonist nor strong supporting characters. Maari feels at some point really flat without any proper excitement. The film is slow and doesn't have any kind of plot twist. Except for the climax, the film isn't interesting because there are no memorable moments in it. Dhanush is the only savior of the film and he does lift the film on his own shoulders. Anirudh's album plays a big time in making the film much more colorful and gives it a festival feel. Balaji as a filmmaker did create a memorable role for Dhanush but apart from that, there's nothing to retain from the film. Overall, Maari is only watchable for Dhanush's performance and Anirudh's enjoyable album.
