Maanaadu 2021 Movie Review
The film follows Abdul Khaaliq (Silambarasan), a man caught in a time loop, reliving a day where he must prevent a political assassination orchestrated by the cunning DCP Dhanushkodi (S. J. Suryah). The time-loop concept, though inspired by films like Groundhog Day, is executed with a distinctly Indian flavor, blending political intrigue, action, and emotional depth. Venkat Prabhu’s direction keeps the pacing brisk, with a runtime of 147 minutes that feels engaging due to clever writing and well-timed twists. The screenplay intelligently uses the loop mechanic to unravel the conspiracy, keeping viewers hooked.
Silambarasan (STR) delivers a career-defining performance as Khaaliq, balancing vulnerability, wit, and heroism. S. J. Suryah steals the show as the manipulative Dhanushkodi, bringing intensity and menace to the antagonist role. Kalyani Priyadarshan’s Seethalakshmi adds emotional grounding, though her role is limited. The supporting cast, including S. A. Chandrasekhar and Premgi Amaren, complements the leads effectively.
