Performances

Dhanush once again gave a excellent performance as a suffering Maryan. He is perfectly suited for the role and his emotional scenes are connective.

Parvathy Menon is good in her villiage belle role. She is simply beauty and performed with ease. Her on-screen chemistry with Dhanush came out well.

Christopher Minnie is effective in his role , Appukutty is impressive and Jagan is ok

Technical Analysis

AR.Rehman musical scores are good and his background score is effective. Cinematography is excellent and it is the one of the asset for the film. Dialogues are good at parts and production values are standard.

Analysis

Maryan picks up the first half with Dhanush spell bound performance and his journey of love towards Parvathy Menon. On go the pace suddenly falls down and the intense drama starts which leaves the audience bitter boring.

The second half takes the pace the suffering of Indian Migrates in Sudan region and emotions will stick audience to the character.  But the same repeats with the pace while involving to the story. Screenplay is too sluggish and climax is a big minus for the film.

Main plot of the film is connective but its is too lengthy to digest. Dhanush love making scenes are well scripted.

ZC Take :- 

Have a Watch for Maryan
