‘Maamannan’ movie review: Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil’s impeccable performances save Mari Selvaraj’s weakest, politically-charged film
The HinduIn one of Maamannan’s most important and stunningly captured sequences, a bunch of kids are having the time of their lives, swimming and playing in the temple well. But it’s the way Mari Selvaraj frames this particular sequence that makes it stand apart and feels apt to be part of the Mari Cinematic Universe, if one can call it so. Maamannan Director: Mari Selvaraj Cast: Vadivelu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, Fahadh Faasil, Keerthy Suresh, Lal Runtime: 158 minutes Storyline: A father-son duo turns from pawns to players in the game called politics The film starts with a shot of our State Assembly and just like how Asuran asserted the importance of education, Maamannan stresses the significance of position and responsibilities that come with power. And it makes complete sense after watching the film as to why Mari drew parallels between Maamannan and Thevar Magan’s Esakki.
