MAAMANNAN , one of its kind and all credits goes to the most adorable actor "Kalaimamani Kumaravadivel Natarajan" aka "Vadivelu", if not for him this is a movie to be dumped. Mariselvaraj like that of Pa Ranjith has that fascination for triggering so much disturbances in people's mind in the name of Caste . Agree to the fact , that caste based issues are still there in rural areas but need not be told in every movie, for it's not going to solve the issue but only to trigger more . I should say that initial scenes of this movie has lot of disturbing visuals, hate Mari for this and sorry those cannot be considered realistic, it's rather Brutal, But there comes a huge saviour by the name Vadivelu, who gets the character deep to his skin and ensures every frame he pops up it becomes a goosebump moment for us. It has taken him 31 years to deliver such a brilliant role after being Isakki in Devar Magan , it just tells us that he's been under-utilised for 3 decades and more . I could see him in par with top actors these days when it comes to acting. And there's Fahad who is a very very natural actor doing his role so very competitively, a true treasure for the Indian Movies . For a change , the usual emotions of Udhayanthi Stalin best suited for this character and felt he's bettering off these days . Keerthi Suresh is fine for the role and there are many more including Lal filling up frames . BGM by ARR is not upto his usual standards , while there are places where it elevates the movie experience, there were quite a lot of other scenes where it could have been lot better . Nenjamae Nenjamae by Shaktisree Gopalan is just WoW😍. Couple of other songs are good and few didn't get in sync with visuals . Stunts are fine but again too much heart wrenching visuals . We sat the entire movie just for Vadivelu hence we couldn't ignore the movie . Interval block not to be missed. Enjoyed few of the dialogues. Mariselvaraj sir , try not to Cast Caste as part of your movies. Sure this movie could have been beautiful without CAST(E)ing it, still a must watch for the Wonder-Cast Vadivelu. Not a kids friendly movie . Overall MAAMANNAN, MAHANADIGAN !
