How's Maareesan?

Maareesan is a mind-blowing thriller with twists, especially the interval block and pre-climax scenes. Vadivelu plays a role that was a dream for many big heroes in the 90s and 2000s. Fahadh Faasil shines as a thief. Yuvan's music is experimental and interesting, using a popular song by his father, Ilaiyaraaja. Overall, Maareesan is for thriller lovers.
