    A brilliantly written emotional game

    This movie is Karthik Subbaraj's career best and this movie is amazing. The amount of care and thought put into every scene makes this movie the masterpiece that it is. It makes us think about duality of the society, what is morally corrupt and what is not and it is very well written. Karthik Subbaraj's team strikes again with one of the best camera and editing work in Kollywood history. This movie is a miles better than Jagame Thandhiram and Navarasa's Peace. Chiyaan and Dhruv Vikram, Bobby Simha, Sananth and Simran's characters were very well written and one of the best characters from Indian Cinema ever.

    Excellent

    Excellent writing and execution. Great work by director. Vikram asusual a great performance and now his son did a good job. Person living for his ideologies and principles and a person without ideology, principles both are extremists.

    Don't miss it

    One of the best movies I have seen off late, everything from screenplay, acting to directing is spot on, the story written with so many details and subplots played out incredibly well. Kudos to vikram to pull off the role with such attitude.

    Clever

    The first Karthik movie I've watched was Petta and I liked that movie then on Pizza - was outstanding horror film and jagame thandhiram - a gangster movie but I didn't like. Well this movie was excellent and every I got thrilled. It is excellent I've watched. I'd recommend this movie to be watched...

    Vikram Electrifies The Gangster Drama With Brilliant Act

    Mahaan tells the story of a simple school teacher, Gandhi Mahaan (played by Vikram), who leads a boring and regular life. He is frustrated as he has just turned 40 and has not done anything which excites him. He wants to break away from the shackles and lead an adventures life. His life turns topsy-turvy when his wife and son abandons him which gives him a chance to live the way he wants. He soon partners with his childhood friend and become a liquor baron only to meet his son later, who has turned into a police officer and vows to bring down his father's empire at any cost.

    Directed by Karthik Subbaraj (Pizza), Mahaan is like a bottle of wine which you will enjoy with each and every sip as you will get involved in the film with diverse characters that entertains you right to the core

    With his god-like performance, style and attitude, Vikram makes Mahaan a must watch film.

    • Alternate versions
      In Singapore, the film received an NC16 classification for a scene of drug use but later passed with an PG13 classification after the scene of drug use was edited. These cut involved a scene where a man talks about a drug-laced substance with his friend, piquing the latter's interest. The friend is later shown consuming the substance in the form of a paste dissolved in milk, and deriving a kick from it.
