Maaran, directed by Karthick Naren, is the kind of film one assumed to have kicked the bucket sometime in the last decade, when the hullabaloo of social media usurped a space reserved for news production and broadcast.He claims to have worked in seven different media organisations that fired him one after another for “speaking truth to power. ” Although you never see him performing anything close to serious journalism – researching a topic or interviewing a subject – the film calls him the best journalist in the country and flashes on screen his photo on the covers of top magazines.
