Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam Movie Review & Rating: Blatant Reality!
It's been a while since we were all treated with a Selvaraghavan flick. So quite naturally, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam had managed to create decent buzz prior to its release, even though the film is blessed only with Selvaraghavan's writing. Continue reading our review to know what this Gitanjali Selvaraghavan directorial has to offer.
Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam Plot:
Like most Selvaraghavan flicks, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam is about the relationship between two individuals. In this case, a classy woman's relationship with her husband, who is unorthodox as a person.
Showcasing a troubled marriage, which the hero (played by Balakrishna Kola) tries to save, the film is about the hard-hitting reality pertaining to a dysfunctional marriage, which some of us might find hard to digest.
Performances:
Since Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam doesn't have too many characters (which at times has worked against the movie), the lead pair (played by Balakrishna Kola and Wamiqa Gabbi) has done what it takes to shoulder the movie, along with Selvaraghavan's bold writing.
While Balakrishna Kola has underplayed his role really well, it is Wamiqa Gabbi who walks away with all the accolades, for the girl looks like a natural performer on the big screen.
Technicalities:
Apart from the screenplay, which makes this 2 hour flick look like a 3 hour watch, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam is technically strong.
Be it Selvaraghavan's intriguing and fearless writing and Amrit's pleasant background score, the film is blessed with a good technical crew.
While cinematographer Sridhar has done a decent job in capturing all the emotions this movie has to offer, editor Rukesh has done his best in keeping the run time close to 2 hours.
Overall View:
Though a ragged screenplay spoils the fun, Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam survives mainly because of its writing. Also, the film demands a matured viewership.
