Maaveeran, directed by Madonne Ashwin and starring Sivakarthikeyan, sheds light on the controversial practice of relocating slum dwellers. Sathya, a struggling artist, is forced to move to a poorly constructed apartment. Chaos ensues as the building starts to crumble.
In the midst of turmoil, Sathya starts hearing voices, declaring him the true ‘Maaveeran’ who must protect his people. The film combines fantasy, comedy, action, and social commentary to engage audiences.
Tamil cinema is shifting towards fantasy films where heroes assist the vulnerable using superheroic abilities. Sivakarthikeyan delivers a convincing performance, transforming from naivety to confidence. There are scenes that seem unnecessary, prolonging the storyline and making the film predictable.
The entire cast, including Saritha, Yogi Babu, Nila, and Minister Jayakodi, deliver commendable performances. Maaveeran is captivating and enjoyable, marking Sivakarthikeyan’s comeback in Tamil cinema. The director presents the themes with finesse, making every aspect feel organic.
