Is it a Hit for Sivakarthikeyan?

One Twitter user found Madharaasi "unbearable" despite AR Murugadoss's efforts. Lackluster writing, over-the-top presentation, and excessive crying scenes are cited as drawbacks, leading to a 1½/5 rating and a "not recommended" verdict.

Rating: ⭐️½#Madharaasi is UNBEARABLE. Director @ARMurugadoss attempt is visible but the lacklustre writing makes it a disappointing affair. Constant over-the-top presentation, howling & build up leaves the audience irritated. The execution if flawed. NOT RECOMMENDED. 👎 pic.twitter.com/mnWOuBkKj5
