Maaveeran

In detail, Siva Karthikeyan has nailed his role in this movie with both comedy and action. He merged into his character. When u read comics.. u'll think what if u are a superhero... sure Maaveeran gives u the feel. When great power comes, a great responsibility... this movie does that n engaging... Siva has become a performer in Maaveeran... Yogi did his part very well & will not disappoint audience... Aditi done her role perfectly... Madonne Ashwin tried passing the pain of slum people's sufferings after entering the apartments & did well in that. Myysskkin a good villain with no trace as much. Music & bgm is good. Overall a good entertainer to watch with family n friends... Movie runtime should be trimmed. Rating 3.5/5.

The movie starts with a casual hero who never want to get into any sort of trouble in his life. And he even says - "We have to adjust and live". And, suddenly things change with a auditory hallucination. The good thing is the audience would have "believed" everything post that given it is fantasy. But the writers have carefully made it believable and everything happening in a series of "Final Destination" kind of screenplay with outstanding comedy from Yogi Babu.

Sivakarthikeyan is unbelievable in this role juggling between a possessed man who never want to be the chosen one. The small drawback is the climax plot making the villain look silly and foolish!!

MAAVEERAN: This was a really fun, beautiful film. The making was 💯💯 especially that climax cinematography. The acting was great and to me, Myskkin was a surprise. All the BGMs have that folk dance vibe which made me wanna dance, especially the climax BGM. While the 1st half was filled with comedy, the 2nd half gets less comical and more fun (in terms of dialogues and situations). But, the ending didn't feel that good to me.

The female lead only plays the role of most female leads in hero-led movies, which is to give the hero that motivational speech which makes him go rogue.

Still, a solid 8.5/10.

What is a trait of a hero in Bollywood or a telegu movie? He should be macho,able to beat at least 10 to 12 goons. Here it's totally opposite, he is coward as hell, one scene shows he finally thinks enough and goes with a pencil to beat them. Immediately realizes the wrong in that attempt and returns to the coward self.he keeps on saying life is about adjustments, so adjusting that he keeps on losing his personal space , dignity but hats off to the director the viewers will buy in that concept because he makes the viewer familiar about the heroes trait ( the very first scene shows instead of fighting in the que hero prefers to go to the train to fetch water , which in later part of the story used as a callback)

A lovely entertainer with comedic punches where a coward cartoonist is forced to become a warrior as the cartoons world and real world collides. It's a unique concept, presented beautifully where all the characters do their work efficiently ( although except the main hero everyone is a prop without a character arch).

I have never seen such unique usage of voiceovers/narrations before; In mainstream entertainers, they are primarily used in flashback scenes or to build anticipation around the central character, but the way 'Maaveeran' used this specific trope is quite intriguing, to say the least.

Not to mention, the action or the choreography, to be precise, seemed slightly refreshing as well. The way in which the camera moves and captures every kick and punch; it feels swell and looks damn cool. Some credit must also go to Sivakarthikeyan, who played his part with such unabashed conviction. Nobody else would have done a better job; he looked like an ideal fit for this role.

My only major complaint is its 156 minutes duration; it sometimes felt unnecessarily long. Other than that, it's a respectable commercial venture, a familiar dish, albeit served with a distinctive recipe and a much different flavour.
