The film's pace could one of the reasons masses may not embrace "Maryan", as much as they have cheered for Dhanush's films in the past.
Be it the scenes in the fishing hamlet or in Sudan, where even the driest desert looks stunning, these scenes never fail to dazzle you every instant. In that instant, you want to cheer for the director for developing his lead characters flawlessly. You appreciate it only when you reach the climax. The romance between Dhanush and Parvathy comes alive on screen with a hint of charisma and passion.Ī fisherman's strength is in the ocean reference works brilliantly in favour of the film. I haven't seen a better build up of a love story in the Tamil cinema, so poignantly touching, in a long time. The first half of the film is a tribute to love. It's not for the underdog you root here, it's for Parvathy, who believes in Maryan forever. Typically, films starring Dhanush turn out to be a one-man show, but director Bharatbala deserves credit for giving us a stronger female character. However, what differentiates "Maryan" from his other films is that Dhanush has an equally strong co-star Parvathy, who at times looks too intelligent in her role, in the film. Playing a character suffering is not new for Dhanush, who has played such characters several times on the screen. Will he able to meet Panimalar again or not form the rest of the story. He successfully completes his tenure and packs bags in jubilation to return to his ladylove, but tragedy strikes in the form of Sudanese terrorists, who end up kidnapping Maryan and two of his co-workers and demand money for their freedom.Īfter 21 days in captivity, Maryan escapes and runs for his life.
Panimalar is caught in unfortunate circumstances and to support her financially, Maryan is forced to take up employment on contract basis for two years in Sudan. This eventually leads to Maryan falling for Pani. The more Maryan tries to keep Pani away from him, the closer she tries to get. Maryan is loved and longed by Panimalar (Parvathy), but sadly her feelings are not reciprocated. His life revolves around fishing underwater, smoking beedi and spending evenings leisurely with his friends. That's an apt title for the film, which features Dhanush as Maryan, a fisherman, living in a small fishing hamlet. The literal translation of "Maryan" is immortal. In realisation of love, there is always struggle, and to overcome it one needs strong will power. "Maryan", a simple story of love, makes us realise its power in the most visually extravagant way. But, would you believe if I tell you love has the power to make someone escape from his captors in Sudan, and run for his life in the scorching heat of African desert, because he wants to reunite with his lover waiting for him in a small town called Neerkodi?Īnswer is yes. It is believed that love has the power to move mountains.
