Mariyan : Review

The plot deals with the emotional journey of the hostage, who will be kept in an unknown place. He will be kidnapped by Sudan Mercenaries. The plot is adapted from the real life incident, in 2008, few oil workers were kidnapped from India and kept as hostage.

Dhanush's Performance
Dhanush has given extraordinary performance especially in the second half, where he has to go through physical struggle.

Parvathi Menon's Performance 
Parvathi Menon plays a love interest role of Dhanush, who will force him to join as a construction worker in Sudan. She has got a typical native look with her costumes and has maintained a good chemistry with Dhanush.

Marc Koninckx Camera Work
Marc Koninckx, work should be appreciated, his camera work in the under-water scene is mind-blowing. The location reminds us of Mani Ratnam's Kadal. Mariyan is the third movie in recent days to have the story in coastal region.

Bharath Bala's Direction 
The slow pace of the movie helps the audience to feel the emotions for more time. It seems like director Bharath Bala has purposefully leisured the pace.

AR Rahman 
The tracks 'Enga ponna raasa' and 'Kadal raasa naan' have been is used as a background score in the whole movie. AR Rahman's score will make the audience to keep humming even after they are out of theater.

Verdit 
No doubt Mariyan will lend the National award for Dhanush. His sufferings on-screen, bursting and agony during emotional scenes have come out well. The movie is a must watch for Dhanush's fans.
