MARYAN MOVIE REVIEW

19:01
To start with 'Maryan'  has some promising name in the cards. Dhanush , a National award winner, Bharat Bala- a former National award jury and a popular Ad film maker,Parvathy Menon- a sensible actress who opts for performance oriented roles, last but not lest the legendary AR Rahman's songs. Whether all these technically brilliant names created the much needed magic?, read no to know...
The film starts with  Maryan's (Dhanush) telephone call from Africa to Panimalar (Parvathy). The first half of the film told as a flashback on the relationship between Maryan and Panimalar. Bharat Bala has beautifully sketched his characters which is one of the major strengths of Maryan. Especially the film captures the life of fisherman folks which so much reality and the natural film making gives the earthy feel to the movie.
Dhanush has one again come up with a splendid performance as Maryan. Maryan is a subtle,ferocious young man and he will go extreme to support his loved ones. There so many awe moments in the film, especially the scene where Dhanush slaps Parvathy during his closed ones death receives a thundering applause.

Dhanush's phone call to Parvathy from the African terrorist camp is another scene which shows Dhanush is a tremendous actor at any day.The way Dhanush cries,laughs, suffer are close to sheer perfection and one must say that Maryan is one his best roles in recent times.
Coming to the heroine , Parvathy's character is not a ordinary glam doll role, if Maryan's energy during his struggle in Africa is Panimalar then Parvathy's character should create huge impact among the viewers and Parvathy did a fabulous job. The chemistry between Dhanush and Parvathy is so real and the magic is literally evident on screen.Parvathy once again proved that she is one actress who can deliver excellent performance in any kind of role.The other small characters like Appu Kutty,Uma Riyaz,Jagan,Imman found a place in our heart which is a victory for both the director and all these actors.
Marc Koninckx 's cinematography is crystal clear. The cinematographer has used different colour tones for the scenes in India and Africa. Even some of angles are too good, especially the African portions are simply superb. Editing by Vivek Harshan is adequate.
Coming to the music, after Mani Ratnam's films Bharat Bala has used AR Rahman's songs as a part of BGM and also an element in moving the screenplay of the movie. We all know the entire album is chart buster but in the film 'Nenjey Ezhu' stands tall so as Innum Konjam Neram. Nenjey Ezhu lifts the scene with electrifying energy and it is so inspiring.
Bharat Bala is a wonderful gift to Tamil cinema, his characterizations are well detailed and real as possible in a cinema format. Another interesting thing is that there is a novel, dramatic and musical touch to his scene conceiving which is a rarity is  Tamil cinema. A best example is where Dhanush remembering Parvathy and her dream presence is something novel and the climax 'sea' logic during fight sequence is brilliant.
On the negative side though the director sketched all other characters in a detailed fashion, the African Terrorists were not sketched well. They were merely shown as a villain, instead it would be nice if they are portrayed with a solid reason on why they were  very cruel. May be the director would have narrated the story in Maryan's point of view and Maryan don't know much about their demands or need.
On the whole Maryan is a feel good movie with a novel touch is present throughout . Watch it for the excellent acting, good music and a neat narration.



Verdict :  Maryan - a heart stealer all the way!
