MADHARAASI is a cinematic uppercut. It is the kind of film that throws emotional trauma, psychological disorders, national security, shirtless fistfights and romantic flashbacks into a blender, hits maximum and pours out a 168-minute cocktail of chaos and charm.
Directed by action maestro A.R. Murugadoss and starring the ever-charismatic Sivakarthikeyan, this psychological action-thriller is soaked in slow-mo masculinity, sprinkled with just enough melodrama to soften its granite jaw. It is a full-course meal for those craving guns, guilt and good guys who cry. Think: What if Superman’s real kryptonite was love and his cape was untreated childhood trauma?
