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.

After some long time tamil cinema with some unique concept. The story was well written that from the beginning to end it will keep you engaged throughout the movie. I didn't expect that this movie would this much good.
The background voice dialogues are well disciplined tamil world that are pure. Just the way the comic story way. Shiva Karthikeyan did a good movie after some two lazy movies. He showed his true nature acting. Also Yogi Babu s comics timming was good as he is well in that. One of the best things is this movie had very good cinematography. It has range of wide shot from everywhere. Just like you are also part of the movie.

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.

SK rocks his role as a timid cowardly low class cartoonist. Story was simple and straightforward with unique element. Cinematography was mediocre and action cinematography could have been better. The use of close up shots in few comedy scene made said scenes more hilarious. Music by bharath was good but his bgm could have been more gritty. Yogi babu steals the show with his comedy timing. While, Myskin's character could have been more stronger but his performance was good. It's vital that we support these kinda out of the box films. So go and watch it in theaters.
Overall it's a fun film and worth the watch.

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).
