Maryan

Mariyaan is just-around-picture-perfect right from title to credits. {IMDB – 8.4 (singam – 5.9, 3 idiots – 8.3, batman begins – 8.3)}. The movie has four amazing elements that make it a visual treat: Parvathi, Mark, Dhanush and Rahman (in that order). Parvathi has put out a stellar performance. It is only a pity that much of the limelight is given only to the hero. Whether it is romance or her yearning for mariyaan's return, she has captured the emotions well and transferred it to the viewer. Secondly Mark has done a phenomenal work with his camera. The rolling scene in the desert and the scene under water with water on the lens are too good. A regular Tamil viewer will not notice the intricacies of the shots but a careful watch of Nenjae Ezhu will show some exquisite shots with panimalar's hair and water. Dhanush has canned out yet another good performance. Though the first half is more of a regulation character, the sufferings in the second half are well portrayed. The phone call scene and the imaginary treat stand out. Rahman, of course can simply not produce less-than-extraordinary music. Enga pona raasa, as I had said in my audio review, is simply the best in the album and he has used it widely in his background score. Uma Riyaz, Appukutty, Jagan and Annachi have done their roles perfectly. The only flaw in the movie is the editing and if some unwanted scenes had been trimmed, it would have been great. As far as the slow-screenplay is concerned, I think it suited the movie perfectly. The hallucinations are an awesome part of the movie. My final verdict is that it is a movie beyond Kollywood. PS: Just like all films where the heroine follows the hero (NEP etc.), this will not be acceptable to the local lads. Moreover, Tamil audience (in general) have no sense of appreciating art and hence they laugh (like idiots) when Dhanush speaks on the phone, when he calls out Aathaa in the climax, when Jagan looks into a mirror and the leopard scene. Bharath Bala deserves credit for the performances he has extracted, the story and for casting Parvathi.

People usually sit back and relax or even take a break during the songs in a film, but it wasn't the same with Maryan. Audiences didn't move from their seats because even the songs had a story to tell.

Maryan, inspired by true events, is the story of an Indian held captive in Sudan. It featured Dhanush and Parvathy Menon in the lead roles.

Dhanush was definitely an attraction. But the credit can't be handed over to him completely because Parvathy was equally powerful in her role and even the story managed to impress.

Dhanush and Parvathy breathe life into the story.

The cinematography done in this movie is excellent. It's a visual treat for the audience.

Dhanush + Bala = MAGIC

Reviews and criticism from people of poor ability and patience to watch some beauty in the screen always kept the real value of movies from south India away from reality making.

Every Year there is a surprise movie in Tamil Film Industry listing that stands top of the table ,for this year undoubtedly its Maryan on top 3.

Director Bharath Bala for his first movie but with years of experience in the industry has slowly crafted his vision on a simple script to a poetic screenplay with the support of the best cast. An emotional tale of love ,Pain, struggle so well delivered by the artist the best in south Dhanush,Parvathy in specific.

Cinematography Marc Koninckx is so brilliant and framed the best colors in both the countries and that never makes you feel the movie slow in second half supported by Vivek Harshan's cuts, just watch and admire.

AR Rahman "FASCINATING".

Keep the Spirits of Tamil movies UP

Dhanush has become the new word for acting. He's super natural and out performing at his best.

Maryan has brought the maximum out of Dhanush and the best of his film ever. Maryan; Starting with a great plot, strengthened by perfect characters, music that touches your heart by A.R Rahman & finally given soul by Dhanush.
