Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu have reunited on screen after their successful collaboration in ‘Maamannan.’ The duo returns with ‘Maareesan,’ a suspense-filled drama that has already captured early viewer attention ahead of its July 25, 2025, theatrical release.

Director Sudheesh Sankar presents ‘Maareesan’ as a grounded thriller-drama that unfolds its narrative gradually. The film features Vadivelu as an Alzheimer's patient who embarks on a road trip with a petty thief played by Fahadh Faasil. Early Twitter reviews suggest the film delivers engaging content through two standout performances.

Maareesan Twitter Review

Twitter users have shared overwhelmingly positive reactions to ‘Maareesan.’ Film critic Karthik (@get2karthik) expressed complete satisfaction with the movie, calling it his "most expected movie of the year." He praised the "brilliant script and performances" while highlighting the work of both lead actors. The reviewer also commended composer Yuvan Shankar Raja's background music and songs, describing them as "fire" and noting the film's socially responsible message.

Another Twitter user, Karthik Ravivarma (@Karthikravivarm), gave the film four thumbs up. He noted that despite a "slow start," the movie delivers "very good interval and engaging 2nd half." The reviewer appreciated the one-liner humour and praised the social message conveyed at the film's conclusion. He specifically mentioned that while Fahadh Faasil delivers his usual good performance, "Vadivelu steal the show."

Film critic Rajasekar (@sekartweets) awarded "Maareesan" a rating of 3.25 out of 5, describing it as "a slow burn thriller that is impressive with its twists and turns." He highlighted the intermission twist and pre-climax sequences as particularly intriguing elements that keep viewers engaged.

The critic noted Vadivelu's completely different role, describing it as "a role that was once a dream for many big heroes in Tamil, especially in 90s and early 2000s." He praised Fahadh Faasil's performance as a thief who "transforms into someone toward the end."

Rajasekar also appreciated Yuvan Shankar Raja's experimental approach to the music, particularly mentioning a twist given to his father Ilaiyaraaja's famous track. He concluded that "Maareesan is for thriller lovers, especially those who love to see twists and turns coming in at the important moments."

Siddarth Srinivas (@sidhuwrites) rated the film 3.25 out of 5, calling it "good drama with a dose of thrill." He emphasised that "the combo of Fahadh Faasil and the veteran Vadivelu works out well for the film, they click together."

The reviewer appreciated the film's ability to maintain doubt in the first half, with the second half featuring reveals and an emotional backstory. He compared Fahadh's performance to his work in "Thondimuthalum Drikshashiyum" and praised Vadivelu's serious role after "Maamannan."

Srinivas specifically commended Yuvan Shankar Raja's score, noting it's "not easy to compose for a film like this which is a mix of genres, but Yuvan does a great job." He described the special remix track as "a nice theatre moment in the second half."

Trade analyst Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) gave "Maareesan" a strong 3.5 out of 5 rating, calling it "a bold attempt that pays off!" He praised it as a "two-man show with strong performances" from both Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil.

Bala noted that the "second half shifts gears with solid thrills" and described Yuvan Shankar Raja's songs and background music as "fantastic and layered." He credited director Sudheesh Sankar with delivering "a gripping, content-driven ride" and concluded the film is "worth a watch."

The early reviews consistently highlight ‘Maareesan’ as a film that successfully blends drama with thriller elements. Critics have noted the movie's ability to maintain engagement through strong performances rather than relying solely on high-octane sequences.

The collaboration between Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu is the film's strongest asset, with both actors stepping into roles that showcase their versatility. The social message woven into the narrative has also received appreciation from early viewers.

As ‘Maareesan’ prepares for its theatrical release on July 25, the positive Twitter reviews suggest audiences can expect a well-crafted thriller-drama that delivers both entertainment and meaningful content through exceptional performances by its lead actors.
