    Best Horror movie ever I seen

    This is the best horror movie ever I have seen and this movie is like a Hollywood movie. You have to travel with the movie otherwise you will not understand. Cinematographer Satyan Sooryan has done a great job and big kudos to music director.Director Ashwin narrated the story very well. He proved he was a technical guy. Finally Nayanthara has given her mass performance for this movie. In the same month she given her best acting in Thani Oruvan now in Maya. And the hero of the film Aari proved that he is a talented actor also Lakshmi Priya done her great job. Thoonga Kangal lyrics is really awesome, it was giving the feel like an affection of a mother.I think this is very first time a horror movie came in Tamil without comedy and dances. Once again Kudos to the team..

    A very underrated movie

    The screenplay is literally ahead of its time and this movie can only be enjoyed in theatres. Because of piracy and OTT, this movie got very low user rating as people didn't had that theatre experience!

    The dialogues, music, color grading, transitions, story play, the actors everything is so good. It's like in search of gold we lost a diamond. I can only imagine that this movie in the future will have a sequel because it's a underrated gem and no one has an eye on it. Kudos to the entire team who made this movie. It must be heartbreaking to not see the movie as a blockbuster.

    I would recommend to watch this in a home theatre setup, you'll enjoy it.

    Vibrant Horror movie

    This is probably the best horror movie I have ever watched.Maya is even comparable to the Hollywood blockbuster "The Conjuring".It deserves such greatness.I really congratulate all the team,cast and crew of the movie.The story is very well built and organized and it is been shot so well in realistic places .The music part played a great role to make the audience feel the presence of a ghost.I really appreciate the captain of the ship,director for his efforts to make such a brilliant movie.And last but not least i guess Kollywood is competing with Hollywood by making such grandeur films.I am feeling proud to be a Indian

    worth watching

    First of all.......two people deserve a very special mention..... the DIRECTOR and the MUSIC COMPOSER. Even though they are newbies, they have done a very professional job.

    Saying any detail about the story may rip the movie off its suspense quotient but putting it simply in words, it's about a woman who dares to take an challenge upon her only to know that she alone wasn't a part in it but also a supernatural force which is on a quest for something.

    The movie starts off with a decent pace, initially stumbles down and recovers well only to find the audience super thrilled with the proceedings going on. The audience won't even notice that the interval card's come up leaving them wanting for more and eventually the later half doesn't disappoint about which I don't wish to reveal.

    The movie has no star cast apart from Nayanathara who looks gorgeous as ever. She shouldered the character of Apsara(Mayuri in Telugu) and made it past the finish line gracefully. Aari, Amzath Khan, Robo Shankar and the rest have complimented the content of the movie very well.

    The director was superbly successful in co- ordinating all the units together to produce a near-perfect output. He didn't waste time in providing cheap thrills in the name of horror. The editor must be appreciated for providing some really good cuts essential to keep the horror factor up especially in an unconventional thriller like maya. Minor glitches which i force myself not to point out were well covered by the technical team to make sure the audience come out with a terrific experience with a tint of emotion. Sound editing and visual effects deserve applause too. The BGM reverberates in the minds of audience keeping the horror element alive.

    Overall Maya is a movie I would recommend to true movie lovers and especially it's a feast for horror movie lovers who've been waiting for something really thrilling and spooky on the Tamil screens rather than the usual horror-comedies which are more targetted at the BO for raking in the moolah.

    Thoroughly enjoyable and fresh horror.

    Just when we thought we had seen it all débutant director Ashwin Saravanan bring to table new ways to frighten movie audience. Though I don't know much about camera and editing I can bet that it was good. I was completely immersed in the movie. Although some portions that seem to lag as it nears the climax it makes up with the climax twist that was unexpected and also touchy. Nayanthara was perfect. Her first role portraying as a mother the scenes with the baby oozes with motherly- hood. Aari and all others did their role neatly. I especially liked the acting of the friend of Nayan. I don't know whether its because have a crush on her now. She stuck to her character as a caring friend. Overall a thoroughly Enjoyable, Touchy, Frightening and Fresh Horror Thriller.
