Maaman

This film feels like a relic from a bygone era, clinging to outdated tropes and lifeless storytelling. The pacing drags unbearably, stretching simple scenes into tedious endurance tests. Dialogue is packed with clichés, making interactions painfully predictable. The characters lack depth, stumbling through forced melodrama. Attempts at comedy fall flat, inducing more secondhand embarrassment than laughter. Predictable twists and contrived conflicts make it exhausting to watch. Ultimately, it's a tiresome ordeal, best avoided unless nostalgia blinds you to its glaring flaws. I don't know why many people gave good rating to this movie, they should try to understand the new generation and give a movie like that.

One of best emotional and heart touching family drama I've seen after a long time. Director Prasanth Pandiraj has equally presented every character beautifully with rich Indian culture, family bonding, pain, fight, jealousy, rage and togetherness. The unique concept of the bond between Maama (uncle) and small chubby boy will steal your heart and keeps the "Soul Story" intact.

Soori and Aishwarya shines throughout who are stuck between real life scenarios. Soori's sister, grandpa and granny's acting will hit right to the core! What a gem of a movie filled with comedy and emotions. Watch it on Zee5.

Keep a small bucket to hold your precious tears! Don't miss!

This is a family movie and typical tamil drama ( that is it is lot of emotions, loud bgms, pretty illogical behaviour and a whole heap of cliches)

So I had clear perception going into the movie and the movie had all - a bit too cliched and climax and pre- climax was ridiculously over dramatic ( worse than TV soaps )

The highlight of the movie has been the performances - Soori, Aishwarya Lakshmi and Swasika and the surprise package of Baba Bhasker all were really good - especially Soori and Baba Bhasker (though his screen time low )

Had the pre-climax be better and ending a bit more paced ( it happens too suddenly - the whole section of pre-climax around their grandparents could have been trimmed or excluded and given more depth and detail to the resolution) - the movie would have been above average.

This movie is very unrealistic, boring & extremely cringe... Everything abt the movie is very clumsy , dissociated & forced , added useless songs in between just to kill the 2 hour time & poor screenplay from beginning till end...This is more or less a poorly executed over extended short film..

This is a total disaster & waste of time.

The first half of Maaman carries its share of narrative lags, yet somehow never loses its rhythm. Despite occasional dips in momentum, it sustains viewer engagement with just enough charm and curiosity. It's the second half, however, that truly shifts the emotional gears - a poignant, stirring ride that strikes a chord with even the most stoic hearts. This emotional surge elevates the film from a passable experience to a genuinely touching, feel-good watch, worthy of a one-time sit-down.

Through heartfelt performances and nuanced storytelling in its latter half, Maaman finds its emotional depth and delivers a message that lingers. Not flawless, but definitely memorable.
