What more to expect when national award winner Dhanush teamed up with Bharat Bala, A popular ad film maker and a former National Award Jury and the Music Mastreo AR Rahman whose tunes for the movie are already leading charts. Have Maryan raised to our expectations ? Without a second thought YES !

Maryan is the classic tale of love and survival. The story begins in Sudan where Maryan, a youth from costal region of Tamil Nadu is setting to go back to his home land where his love Panimalar waits for him. The story unfolds though a flashback which portrays their realistic love story and the incidents which leads Maryan to come to South African for a job. A sudden twist changes the path of the story which takes it to another level both story wise and emotionally. The film captures the costal life with so much realism and shots in the sea will new to audience.. The second half is truly an experience with a feel good climax.

There is no point in praising Dhanush every time for the dynamic characters he has done in recent times. He has given a splendid performance as ‘Maryan’. The variety of emotions he emotes is a treat to any cine lover and the pain and struggle of Maryan can be felt by the audience because of his natural acting. Without doubt, Maryan has taken him to next level as an actor. Well done Dhanush !
Talking about Panimalar, the lady love of Maryan is done by Parvathy Menon who is a sheer mix of natural beauty and talent. Her character is the reason for Maryan to fight back against any struggle which comes in his way. The chemistry between Dhanush and Parvathy is unexplainable starting from the first scene to the climax. Parvathy is here to stay back from a long time. The supporting characters by Appu Kutty, Uma Riyaz Kahan, Jagan, Salim Kumar have proved enough backup for the movie.

Marc Koninckx's cinematography deserves a special mention. Whether it is the coastal beaches of Tamil Nadu or the dry deserts of South Africa, the cinematography was top notch. AR Rahman is awesome as always. His songs and BGM are connected with the screenplay and helps the movie to give what audience needs at most times. The Nenju Ezhu hits the screen at perfect time which rises the movie and audience to another level. Editing by Vivek Harshan is crisp and perfect. Director Bharath Bala is a new gem to Tamil cinema who has the ability to mix realism, music and novelty adequately. His long years of experience is reflected all through the movie.

Coming to the negatives, there isn't anything to spot out but the pace in the second half can be a problem for some set of audience. Enjoy the slowness with special mindset.one who enjoys it will love the movie to the core:) else..you may be disappointed.!!

Although Maryan is a saga of love, romance. faith, hopes with amazing performance and strong technical support.
rating 3.2/5
