Maara

 Watched the Tamil film Maara(2021) which is a remake of the Malayalam film Charlie(2015).

The film stars R. Madhavan and Shraddha Srinath. From the start it is a visually delightful film that is full of colour and creativity. The locations are breath taking and the music is melodious and hummable.

Madhavan is awesome as the wandering soul with a heart of gold. Shraddha looks her part and shares an amazing on screen chemistry with Madhavan.

The artefacts, paintings and the houses all provide an alluring charm to the narration and are a feast for the eyes. The climax brought tears to my eyes.

In the film Charlie, it was Dalquer Salman who stole our hearts and in this film we just cannot stop being mesmerised by Maara played by R. Madhavan. I only wish Madhavan dressed better like Dalquer did in Charlie. This is a film for dreamers, artists and wanderers. This is a story about love and hope. The story is engaging and is like a fairytale taking shape before our eyes. All the characters have a role that they give full justice to. The movie does drag a bit towards the end but yet it is worth the watch. We cannot tell which is better, the original Charlie or Masra as both are worth a watch.They are similar but not the same, if you know what I mean. Just watch both.

Maara is a must watch film. For Madhavan fans, this is unmissable! He is fantastic as always! I loved Shraddha Srinath too. Her attire and accessories too are amazing. So colourful and bohemein! The paintings, sculptures, colourful graffiti, Shraddha's bracelets, dresses and earrings, the background score, Madhavan's smile, all so beautiful!

So final verdict is, you must definitely watch Maara.

It is streaming on Amazon Prime.
