Maha Movie Review
Actress Hansika Motwani’s 50th film ‘Maha’ has found a decent expectation with STR’s cameo appearance in the movie. Besides, the first look poster and the visual promos assured us of a plot that is unique and fresh. So well, does the movie meet our expectations?
Synopsis
When the daughter (Baby Manasvi), daughter of Maha (Hansika Motwani) is abducted by a psychopath, things get awry as the unexplored chapters of Maha gets unveiled. A police officer (Srikanth) is on the hunt of the miscreant, but eventually ends up with shocking revelations.
Story, Screenplay, Dialogues and Direction
No Doubt! The story is very much outdated as we can blatantly notice at least 2-3 movies based on child abuse being made. Following the season of crime-thrillers and horror movies, Kollywood has stapled itself to this premise now. The major disappointment with Maha is the vagabond like screenplay. The non-linear screenplay moving back-and-forth will work out for a good script, but when attempted with a flimsy tale, it eventually ends up annoying the audience. Maha turns out to be one such movie, where audiences literally get confused about the narrative.
Performance
Hansika Motwani has been personally promoting this movie for a very long time. Of course, a 50th movie is always special, especially for an actress. We at Studioflicks convey our heartiest congrats to the actress for a long successful journey. When it comes to Maha, we were really spellbound with the first look poster, which left us awe-stricken. However, as we end up watching the movie, it’s out and out disappointment. She has emoted very well in the intense scenes, and we need to appreciate the scrutinizing efforts, she has taken to maintain her physique, but still, the story and her characterization lacks substantiality. Silambarasan TR’s cameo is totally unwanted, and it’s been done for the sake of drawing his fans to the theaters. His role doesn’t add any value to this movie. Srikanth lacks confidence in almost all his episodes. Thambi Ramaiah is loud and noisy for no reason. Karunakaran always manages to give the best from his end irrespective of whatever roles he plays. He is good here. Baby Manasvi is a cute element in this movie. The actor playing the antagonist’s character looks dim-witted. His characterization lacks the punch that the story actually demands.
Technical aspects
Ghibran’s musical score is okay, and rest of the technical aspects don’t engross us vividly.
On the whole, Maha turns out to be a disappointing fare, where not even a single scene is engaging, and the entire show is nothing but a big letdown.
