Dhanush's
latest
release
Maaran
has
been
getting
average
response
from
the
audience.
The
political
thriller
written
and
helmed
by
Karthick
Naren
released
on
Friday
(March
11)
on
Disney+
Hotstar.
Audiences
are
evidently
unhappy
with
the
output,
with
many
calling
it
one
of
the
disappointing
films
of
the
leading
man.
Notably,
Dhanush
fans
had
earlier
expressed
their
agitation
over
the
film's
OTT
release,
and
now
looks
like
they
have
another
reason
to
bother
about.
Netizens
have
also
been
discussing
Dhanush's
acting
chops
and
going
by
the
tweets
on
social
media,
his
performance
was
sure
a
goosebumps-inducing
one.
Dhanush
as
Maaran
plays
the
role
of
a
young
journalist,
who
lands
himself
in
the
soup
after
he
publishes
a
story
that
exposes
the
true
face
of
a
highly
admired
politician.
Malavika
Mohanan
has
also
given
out
an
applause-worthy
performance
in
the
thriller
and
their
chemistry
looks
fresh
on
the
screens.
Having
said
that
the
lazily
written
storyline
and
sluggish
narration
were
highly
dissatisfying
and
clearly
didn't
impress
the
movie
aficionados.
Take
a
look
at
the
Twitter
reactions
here!
2.25/5.
There
were
only
a
few
scenes
which
was
meaningful
to
the
movie
in
the
first
half.
Second
half
was
decent
with
some
twists.
Positives
-
Dhanush,
Sister
character.
Negatives
-
Malavika
mohan,
Samuthrakani
character.

#Maaran
Dhanush's
acting
peaked
in
the
climax
of
Maaran.
When
he
goes

to
find
his
sister,
tears
just
cascades
down
his
cheeks.
