Movie Review of Maara
(released through Amazon Prime on 8 Jan 2021)
Colorful. Unusual theme for a Tamil movie.
Hero (Madhavan) is not a song singing, dashing, flashy, fist fighting, romancing guy. In fact, he looks mostly like something the cat dragged in. No high end cars, just a motorbike. No great mannerisms. No ‘punch’ dialogue - quite unlike a Tamil movie!
Heroine (Shraddha) is a modern young, disobedient (aren't we all!) good looking girl, who is seriously pursuing a book of pictures. Doesn’t talk much, but no need to, as her expressions speak! She doesn't seem to work for herself at all - unrealistic, but I guess that's what our movies are?!
Alexander Babu the stand up comedian, plays a small but significant role of thief! Apparently this is his 3rd in the movies! Pretty decent show!
Hopefully he might be considered for continued encouragement as a talented comedian in the movies!
Theme revolves around old folks with rural names, great natural cine photography. Velayya (Moulee) carrying the torch amiably for his lady love was a great touch to a romance drama movie!
A fresh change among the Tamil movies!
Some narrations could have been avoided. Much of adoration about liquor as though it is the best answer to all problems and a few unnecessary songs could have been clipped. After all, the hero and the heroine don’t sing together (running around the tree or in the wet rain), so why the other songs?!
6.5/10
Nice review 👌
