The old-fashioned story-line and a feeble execution make Maari an underwhelming outing. Balaji Mohan thrives on Dhanush’s commanding screen presence and the dependence is visible in the umpteen numbers of slow-motion shots scattered through the film. Even with a not-so-good screenplay, Balaji Mohan has managed to break many mass-hero stereotypes. That’s where his real talent and ingenuity resides. That’s the Balaji Mohan I would like to see make a comeback in his next venture.
