Good storyline.
Even better cast. But there was something off with the final product. I struggled to get through the first half because I didn’t know what was happening and where it was leading to. The only reason I continued watching was because I thought there has to be something good in the story for Fahad and Vadivel to pick this movie. And then pieces started falling into place in the second half.
For anyone who plans to watch this movie, please stick through to the second half. It does get better.

One of the finest films released in Tamil this year.
Fahadh Faasil - Vadivelu combination is the key factor.

Maareesan, both Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu deliver standout performances.
Fahadh brings his usual intensity and nuance to Dhaya, the petty thief caught in a moral maze, while

#Maareesan has left me conflicted.
It boasts of a heartfelt first hour but a woefully generic second hour, anchored only by the brilliance of the Fafa-Vadivelu combo that makes

decent slow burn thriller with awesome performances.
Could have been a great film if the execution was a little more inventive but Vadivelu and FaFa saved the day!

Concept but execution?

I really liked the movie.
But... the impact that should have been a banger (like the treatment in Maharaja) ended up going out with a whimper.

Sudheesh Sankar's #Maareesan, like Maharaja, is a repulsive, nauseating
thriller that uses sexual assault as an excuse to show off its own cleverness.

Mareesan had moments that gripped me because the murders carried an undeniable
morality - and I must admit I had day-dreamed of doing this myself as a post-retirement pastime. I

Brilliant first half (had me constantly questioning where all of it was going)
and a cliched (but still very watchable) 2nd half.

A good story about posco.
A different attempt to deliver the already cooked story.

Maresaan, featuring Fahadh Faasil, is a film that thrives on the chemistry

Sudheesh Sankar shapes the first half of Maareesan as a measured, slow‑burn

Fafa did a role very similar to Thondimuthalum and vettiyan. Felt a bit artificial and not a trademark fafa. Meanwhile Vadivelu on the

Started out as something, became something unexpected & extremely farfetched.
I would loved to see a better plot line. FaFa was underused massively. Sad, could’ve been much better.
Srividya Vanamamalai
Vadivelu’s finest performance after Thevar Magan.
A slow burner with a nice setup and stays true to its origin.
