Maaran turns out to be a bland film. It seems like a film made with a checklist of elements but then the team doesn't really know what to do with these elements.(more)

Even Dhanush cannot rescue this bland crime thriller

Just half-an-hour or so into the film,the plot structure starts to feels too straight forward for a Karthick Naren film and we somehow sense a twist coming � and it does!

Even Dhanush and his performance cannot save this badly

Dhanush is basically a terrific actor and never disappoints you with his acting. But in this film, the story doesn't let him do much. His character is written so badly that even his acting couldn�t save him.(more)
