Review

As promised, Sivakarthikeyan tries his best to keep our interest even when the screenplay runs out of ideas, and the director gives the protagonist an intriguing characterisation. The hero’s odd behavior is justified by a compelling history in the first half.

Although it might have been further explored, the tension point between the primary pair makes sense. Once again entertaining with his performance, Sivakarthikeyan is at the prime of his life. His humorous moments with Biju Menon are amazing, as is the way he creates humor in serious circumstances. Rukmini Vasanth’s representation is tidy.

The movie has smooth, expertly planned action scenes that look stunning on a large screen. Designed to appeal to action fans, Madharaasi provides its intended audience with a number of entertaining moments. AR Murugadoss makes a commendable effort to convey a social message about the negative impacts of gun culture in our nation through the film.

Even though the idea was intriguing and appealing, AR Murugadoss was unable to produce a compelling script. Though Madharaasi lacks exciting scenes, it doesn’t replicate the same charm as Ghajini and Thuppakki, which the movie occasionally reminds us of.

Because there isn’t enough build-up, the well-designed action blocks lack impact. The sequences that build up to those high-stakes scenes are what really make the viewing experience better, not just the action. In this regard, Madharaasi may have been far superior. In addition to being predictable, the second half provides the sense that the plot is stagnating.

Sharper cutting was needed because the film feels stretched, and repetition sets in over the latter hour.

Conclusion

Overall, Madharaasi is an action-packed show that only works in certain scenes. The film’s strong points include the hero’s personality, Sivakarthikeyan’s mesmerizing performance, a few humorous scenes, and the cleverly planned action sequences. However, this picture is just passably good due to its plodding second half, which is filled with repetitious scenes, and its predictable storyline, which lacks exciting moments.
