Vishal Menon Film Companion 07/11/2024
Despite the compromises in the second half, Mari Selvaraj's third film remains powerful, proving to be a testament to how his voice remains the loudest. Go to Full Review

...by the time that it ends, it turns into something more — a saga that is quietly affecting. Go to Full Review

Maamanithan doesn’t beat around the bush and tells a nice story straight from the heart. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 07/12/2023
Maamannan is hate-filled, idiotic garbage with excessive scenes of animal cruelty. It rehashes the same old plots of family feuds and murderous revenge that have already been done in much better ways in many other action flicks. Go to Full Review

5/10
It doesn’t function as the emotional, gripping political thriller the film wants to be. A weak lead actor and a frayed story that doesn’t seem particularly interested in its characters leave you rather cold. A.R. Rahman’s great soundtrack can’t help it. Go to Full Review

Purushotham 07/04/2023 I am a physician working in Mayo Clinic and had the opportunity to see a Tamil movie after a long time in theater in AMC Times Square. What a fantastic philosophy of disparity in caste and people approach in secularism, director Mari Selvaraj did a marvelous direction. Vadivelu was seen as best comedian so far, now he proved as a mature serious actor as father and he did a serious action in Rajakaliamman in front of Sakthi! Above all my younger favorite hero is Udhayanidhi Stalin who fabulously did along with Keerthi Suresh. Villain Fahad Fazil did a tremendous achievement in his actions. Well Done Red Giant productions See more Suarez 06/30/2023 Padama Idhu.. Kodumai Pa See more Aug 29 Mari Selvaraj has again proved that he is an exceptional director. The childhood event captured in the movie depicts immense pain and the socio-political issues still happening in the country. Fahadh & Vadivelu have done a great job. AR Rahman is the GOAT. Rasa Kannu & Nenjame Nenjame elevated the movie to another level. 'Nee anjile pinjile kanda kaayam, sollave illaye munbu yaarum' - These lines hold so much pain and love in the same level. 'நடந்த பாதை அத்தனையிலும் ராசா அதுல வேலிப்போட்டு மறிச்சதாரு ராசா' - Just brilliant. See more Ted J 02/10/2024 this movie is a dog killing movie and promote animal cruelty. See more Birithivy Y 08/29/2023 Maamannan - 9/10. The third best film that Mari Selvaraj has directed in his career. Nothing wrong with that, and its obviously very hard to top the stupendously brilliant Pariyerum Perumal and the very solid Karnan. Maamannan for the most part is a brilliant political thriller that has some optimism in it. Mari's hope is that people will exercise their voting privileges and vote for the right individuals, and also his hope is that the politicians themselves will respect each other without resorting to any hatred or beneath level minded things. The intermission and the scene around it is one of the best in recent times, and really captures the casteism commentary in this movie so brilliantly. Vadivelu is in top top form here, providing an incredibly layered and brilliant performance as the elder politician who gains confidence and respect within himself when he reconnects with his estranged son. As a whole, people might find the second half a little laggy due to the election portions, but in my opinion, this is another solid solid attempt from Mari in talking about social justice in a new and different way. See more Sachin E 07/31/2023 Udhayanidhi is a bad actor, but it was not his incompetence alone that ruined a well-intended political thriller. The screenplay and direction are subpar compared to Selvaraj's Pariyerum Perumaal. Even Fahad Faasil's acting couldn't save this badly written cliche story, presented in a new bottle of caste politics. See more Read all reviews
