Bottom Line: Madharaasi AR Murugadoss के “old touch” की return है sophisticated storytelling के साथ। Sivakarthikeyan का most challenging role aur Anirudh का music मिलकर एक “complete treat” create करते हैं जैसा कि early reviewer ने describe किया है.
Recommendation: September 5 को FDFS experience करें – यह सिर्फ movie नहीं, career-defining moment है तीनों key contributors के लिए। U/A rating Madharaasi movie family-friendly है, लेकिन psychological thriller elements mature audience को ज्यादा appeal करेंगे.
Cultural Impact: अगर यह film succeed करती है, तो यह prove करेगी कि AR Murugadoss अभी भी Tamil cinema के top directors में हैं aur Sivakarthikeyan action hero के रूप में भी establish हो सकते हैं comedy के अलावा.
