Maya Story

Maya is a Tamil Horror movie direction by debut director Ashwin Saravanan. The movie has Nayantara and Aari in a lead role. The movie title has been changed from 'Night Show' to 'Maya'. Story Line Aari works for a print media and is assigned a horror series. While working on it, one particular episode involving an old mental institution inside the forest of Mayavanam fascinates him and his friend, played by Amzath Khan.  Since the episode they are working on is based on a book which claims that the story of a certain Maya Matthews is true, Aari and his friend dwell deep into the story, hoping that the subject they are handling is nothing more than a mere fiction. On the other hand, Nayantara's life is narrated.  She is an actress and a single mother with serious financial crunch. How is her life connected with the character named Maya Matthews forms the crux of this fascinating story. Production Ron Ethan Yohann has composed the music for the movie while lyricist Umadevi, who penned Naan Nee from Madras, was roped in to write the only song in the film.  The producers were insisted that a leading heroine played the lead role, despite it being shot on a modest budget and Nayantara was subsequently signed on. Aari was also selected to play a pivotal role in the film, after the makers were impressed with his performance in Nedunchaalai (2014). The film began shoot in June 2014 and schedules were canned continuously in Chennai. The film completed shoot in October 2014 and the team revealed that the film would be released in late 2015. The movie recevied grand opening on the release date after positive signs from preview shows.

Maya Critics Review

Filmibeat.com
The film has countable characters and each of them have come up with laudable performances. As expected, Nayantara delivers yet another powerful act. When I say powerful, it doesn't mean shouting one's lungs out or showcasing fear to a great extent. Of course, Maya comes with such gimmicks, but what will impress horror lovers the most is Nayantara's restrained acting, for her character demands it. Ron Ethan Yohaan's background score not only spooks you but also makes sure you are barely seated, right from the word go. Overall View: Maya cannot be categorized with some of the other Tamil horror flicks that released in the recent past. This film's sole intention is to scare you and the debutant director Ashwin Saravanan has managed to do that pretty convincingly.
Behindwoods
Maya takes a special spot in the victory stand for having employed Digital Interface (DI) for the core purpose of storytelling. In the course of deep thinking, mere techniques can become the narrator too! Maya stands as a substantial example for the same. The director has indeed taken advantage of the potential that Nayanthara has as a performer. There is not one frame in which we see her stepping out of her character. Verdict: Maya does what it is supposed to do! Keeps you intact through its runtime.
