Maari 2 Review: Strictly For Dhanush Fans

Dhanush Maari 2 Review: Maari 2 is all set to hit theatres on December 21. The film featuring Kollywood actor Dhanush and Sai Pallavi is a sequel to the blockbuster hit by the same name which released way back in the year 2015. The sequel is directed by Balaji Mohan who directed the first part of the film too. Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas too is seen in a crucial role. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Vidhya and Unni Mukundan will be seen in key roles.
Maari 2 is a war between Badass Beeja who would go to any extent to get even with the protagonist. How does the hero handle him? Watch the film to find out.
Maari 2 plot: Hardened criminal, Beeja believes he's the force of destruction. Enter gangster Maari who takes on Beeja with all his might. There begins the Good Vs Evil story. If Maari 2 story sounds like routine stuff and doesn't excite you much. Read on the full review before you write this off as another old wine in a new bottle film.
Maari 2 Movie Review
Balaji Mohan is back with his favourite character—Maari. But has he managed to build a powerful role for Dhanush this time around? We will soon find out...
The first half contains enough elements to keep the audience engaged. Dhanush steals the show as Maari while Beeja too stands out as an intelligent villain. Wait, we are not done yet. There's more on offer in the package. Yes, you guessed it right! Sai Pallavi, as anandhi plays her role to the T. She shines as a female auto driver and is a pure delight to watch. She's her usual peppy, cheerful self and manages to entertain the audience.
So, the hero is not just Dhanush but also a strong female character—Sai Pallavi who has done a splendid job of delivering a spellbound performance. However, Varalaxmi is wasted! Despite the punch dialogues and larger than life characters shown in the first half, the film fails, miserably at that, in the second half. Maari 2 loses steam as the two most powerful characters are weakened in the end to make it appealing to the masses. However, the audience has loved Maari with all his flaws and may not like to accept his tranformed personality.
Verdict: Maari 2 is strictly for Dhanush fans.
The US premieres of Maari 2 were held sometime back. Here's what the audience response to the movie is....
Maari 2 Audience Review/Public Talk
Film critic Haricharan Pudipeddi has tweeted about the film
Sai Pallavi is the only saving grace of #Maari2, which fails to engage, let alone alone entertain, despite Dhanush's earnest efforts to save the film. If you thought Maari was bad, Maari 2 is super bad. — Haricharan Pudipeddi (@pudiharicharan) December 21, 2018 Nothing is exciting about #Maari2, which is a terrible follow-up for Dhanush after the impressive Vada Chennai. But the film assures, thanks to the outright boring second half, that there won't be a Thangamagan 2 in the making and that's a big relief. — Haricharan Pudipeddi (@pudiharicharan) December 21, 2018 #Maari2 (Tamil) - Interval - Comedy & romantic portions work out big time. Mass scenes could have been better, Yuvan's RR is also weak. Commercial elements are decently mixed. 'Pretty enjoyable' so far. #Maari2FDFS #Maari2FromToday #Dhanush — Review Ram (@MovieReviewRam) December 21, 2018 Happy to see here full of positive comments and reports on @Sai_Pallavi92 from #Maari2 . ? — Sai Pallavi™ (@SaipallaviFC) December 21, 2018 #Maari2Review Maari enters the court in his old getup and all who planned to kill him outside court are saluting him.
