Madhavan, Ghibran, and Shraddha Srinath in Maara (2021)

Review by saileash

Maara

9/10

Maara is nothing short of visual poetry

Maara with R. Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath in the primary roles narrates the story of a restoration artist Paaru (Shraddha Srinath), in search of a carefree vagabond Maara (R. Madhavan) after finding a sketchbook and a picture of him while staying at his house. While most of the plot and screenplay is adapted from the original.

R. Madhavan was at his natural best, charming, and portrayed the role of Maara with ease. Shraddha Srinath's innocent, spotless look and body language fitted her character well, she carried the film with her enchanting looks, expressions, and her ability to perform is impeccable.

The best part was how the director hand-picked the supporting cast enhanced the movie, be it M. S. Baskhar, Guru Soma Sundaram, and Kishore. Even though they appear for a relatively short screen time, they added positivity to the film. Veteran actor Mouli scores the best in the heartful climax, and his pure love for his lost-girlfriend was portrayed splendidly on-screen.

Ghibran's songs and background score blended into the movie solidly as they did not serve as a disturbance to the ongoing narrative. Cinematography is my biggest take from the film. The movie is visually rich, capturing the various colours and exquisite locations.

Debutant director Dhilip Kumar does his job flawlessly by telling an emotional story with Maara. His ability to beautifully capture those subtle emotions.

On the outset, Maara is nothing short of visual poetry. The cast along with the story lives in their character and with a top-notch technical team, Dhilip Kumar delivers one of the finest remakes that has the potential to overshadow the original.
