Maamannan

 In this review, the writer shares their thoughts on the film "#Maamannan" by Mari Selvaraj. While it might not be considered as great as the director's previous works like "Pariyerum Perumal" and "#Karnan," the film is praised for its well-written socio-political-drama premise that remains consistent throughout.The lead actor, #UdhyanidhiStalin, is noted for playing it safe with limited expressions, and the first half is appreciated for its great ideological subtleties.

However, the second half is criticized for turning into a regular political drama, leading some audience members to feel that the director compromised the film's potential by not exploring the exact ideology further. The decision to end the film as a regular commercial targeted film is also questioned, considering the opportunity for deeper exploration.

Regarding #FahadhFaasil's negative role, it is felt that the character could have been developed more, delving into inner perspectives, dilemmas, and disillusion of power, rather than just focusing on cruelty. On a positive note, the portrayal of #KeerthySuresh as a social activist instead of a feminist is praised as a decent female role in recent times. Despite the flaws, the film's central point and the title role played by #Vadivelu are highlighted as the reason why it shines and is considered a must-watch. Vadivelu's performance is highly lauded, with the belief that he successfully portrays various emotions and brings immense glory to the entire cinema, showcasing that comedians can be versatile performers. In summary, while the film has its strengths and weaknesses, the focus on the central point and the brilliant performance of Vadivelu make it worth watching, according to the reviewer.
