Mariyaan - Dhanush, Parvathi Menon ~ AR Rahman

[NOV]

http://fullfunpics.com/images/73085635746488331783.jpg


Mariyaan stars Dhanush in the lead role with Parvathi Menon and Salim Kumar, and is directed byBharat Bala. Produced by Venu Ravichandran, it music and background score is composed by A. R. Rahman and cinematography by Marc Koninckx.
The film revolves around story of human survival, partially adapted from a real-life crisis event of Indian migrants who were taken hostage in Sudan.

[NOV]

The film is based on a real-life 2008 incident involving three immigrant oil workers from India being kidnapped and held for 21 days under captivity in Darfur, Sudan. Bharat Bala has met the former hostages and obtained their stories first-hand.

The character played by Dhanush is of a simple, economically poor but physically strong guy from a very remote village in need of a job and hence, this forms the outline of the film.

The director was inspired by the 2008 French-Liberian film Johnny Mad Dog, which starred a real life group of LURD child soldiers and subsequently chose to retain them as well as the cinematographer of that film, Marc Koninckx, both to be a part of Mariyaan.

A press release of March 2013 along with a poster revealed the film's outline as "A young man is faced with adversity. Life deals him immense challenges, and forces him to struggle to thrive. But he does, nevertheless, fighting to survive by thriving on the sheer undying spirit of the human will to survive. Along his thrilling journey is a tryst with adventure, a smattering of drama and a gritty tale that shows the power of love in extreme circumstances. And that is the story of Mariyaan.

Not able to explain why, but I am not getting any positive idea about this movie. Other than Producer, Dhanush and Rahman, all other names involved in the movie look like aliens...

Being an ardent Fan of Dhanush since Thullavatho Ilamai days(I predicted the day I saw that movie as he is going to be a great performing star with inborn talance.I am proved correct. ) I am eagerly waiting for this one with rare combo.

Chennai: As much as Tamil audiences root for commercial films, they are open to fresh stories too, says Tamil filmmaker Bharatbala, who has made his upcoming film 'Mariyaan' for this reason.

"I was determined to make the film ('Mariyaan') in Tamil from the start for two simple reasons. Firstly, I believe Tamil audiences are more open to fresh stories despite their weakness for commercial films".

"Secondly, since my film is based on a true story, I didn't want to tamper with the setting," Bharat Bala told IANS in an interview.

Elucidating with an example, he said: "One of the recent Tamil films that did exceptionally well, boasting a fresh story, was Karthi-starrer 'Paruthiveeran'.

Even though the film had its share of commercial moments, the audience lapped it up for its portrayal of a story never told before". '
'Mariyaan', featuring Dhanush, is a story about human will to survive in extreme conditions.

"The film is an emotional journey of a common man to an unknown place with the hope to come home and lead a better life.
It's based on a newspaper article about three oil workers from India being kidnapped in Sudan," he said.He says he calls it "emotional" because the story "tests the human will to survive in the most unimaginable conditions".

Bharatbala made a name for himself by producing patriotic videos like 'Vande Mataram' and 'Jana Gana Mana'.
He also directed 'Jiyo Utho Bado Jeeto', the music video of the official song of the 2010 Commonwealth Games. 'Mariyaan' is his first Tamil film. His first film was the critically acclaimed 'Hari Om' in English (2004).

Queried why he chose Dhanush, Bharatbala said: "I cast him after I watched his performance in 'Aadukalam', which literally moved me. I believe he agreed to work because of the vast landscape this film offers for him to perform as an actor". So, has he done justice to his role?

"A few days into the shoot and I was referring to Dhanush as Mariyaan because he had immersed himself into the character by then.
Since we shot the film in reverse, it was emotionally and physically draining for him to arrive at the transformation, but he did it," Bharatbala said.

Talking further about Dhanush's professionalism, the director said, "He took classes for ocean diving.
He was required to dive in one breath and go up to 40 to 50 feet underwater. He would jump with the diving suit, go deep, settle down and get rid of the suit. Once he was ready, we would the shoot the scene," he added.

In Tamil, 'Mariyaan' refers to a man who never dies, but Bharatbala's Mariyaan is someone who is adventurous and courageous.
"Mariyaan is like a fisherman who would not throw a net to catch fish, but instead dives deep into the ocean and picks what he wants.
He goes out of his way to get what he wants and that's what makes him adventurous and courageous," he said. While the film may appear dark, he clarified it will be a beautiful journey.

"Even though it is about the fight for survival, it deals with several other emotions such as love, separation and struggle.
The story recounts a beautiful journey about the separation of the protagonist from his loved ones and his struggle to reunite," he added.

It was shot predominantly in the Namib desert and Kanyakumari. It also features Parvathi Menon, Salim Kumar, Appukutty and Jagan in important roles. "Parvathi plays one of the important roles in the film called Panimalar.

I was looking for someone rooted to the south Indian landscape in looks, features and body language. She has a very compelling role to play," Bharat Bala said.

He said 'Mariyaan' will also venture into uncharted territories.
"A R Rahman's music is embedded into the narrative in such a way that it serves as screenplay, while (French) cinematographer
Marc Koninckx will add a different perspective behind the lens. Marc's work will definitely be new to the grammar of Tamil cinema," he added.
Bharatbala is eagerly awaiting the release of the film in May. It is produced by Venu Ravichandran.

I can exactly understand what you are trying to say but with ARR there is definitely going to be something. Sakkrakatti paatha kootam thaan naan. This feels like it is going to be as fake as 'Kadal'. They (Dirs like MR, gautham menon, now Bharathbala) seem to have no understanding of the sentiment to make films with such intense intricacies of the Tamil state. Gautham has understood it and has kept his hands off such projects, MR has burnt his hands more than a couple of times. Let's see if BB proves me wrong.

OTOH Venkat Prabu who make such shallow films understands the sentiment. It comes to him naturally. Just saying.

We don't have good directors sir period. Added to that our main production houses won't approve a project without Nayanthara Item Number / Hero Intro song. So whatever comes out of low end of the spectrum is either half baked or indigestible.
Less than 5% is exception to this rule.

I seriously hope this movie doesn't fall in to that exception category. Daniel Craig and SL / Indian Fisherman .. " oh hell no"

So lets not blame , Venkat Prabhu :). Mankatha was the most entertaining movie for me after shivaji (purely based on entertainment value)in recent times.

Agree with you - for the color part, read on.


Moonu was not gripping ..after that school love portion things were not interesting for me ..antha green color la bommai pottathellam irritating ah irunthuchu ...

The school portions were quite long for me to set the ground for the story. Anyway it mostly works with main audiences - boy-girl-fresh-love.
For the color : Each color has a symbolism. Use of color in anything mounts the aggreebility or disagreebility accordingly. Colors are used widely in the movies (mostly no one pays any attention to them) to visuals potray whats in the creators minds and normally to communicate with the audiences richly. Not taking complicated movies or "unknown" movies, I draw Matrix as an exemple as most of us have seen it.
Green represents fertility, which indirectly represents nature. In "3" the director briliantly used green to potray that its bizzare for us, but natural for the affected person. u dont see it, he does "naturally", as anyone seeing normal things.
Going further, green also represent sexuality - again Matrix is a good exemple, but for "3", unless the creator gives us an input, I strike out this possibility. Maybe some one else have noted it, I am all ears.
Green is a plesant color for eyes. Maybe the "fizzy" visuals irritated you.

தனுசுடன் நடித்தபோது சவுகரியமாக உணர்ந்தேன்’’ நடிகை பார்வதி பேட்டி

‘‘தனுசுடன் நெருக்கமான காதல் காட்சிகளில் நடித்தபோது, சவுகரியமாகவே உணர்ந்தேன்’’ என்று நடிகை பார்வதி கூறினார்.

பேட்டி

தனுஷ்–பார்வதி ஜோடியாக நடித்த ‘மரியான்’ படத்தை பரத் பாலா டைரக்டு செய்திருக்கிறார். ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் இசையமைத்து இருக்கிறார். இந்த படத்தில் நடித்த அனுபவம் பற்றி நிருபர்களிடம் தனுஷ் கூறியதாவது:–

‘‘மரியான் படத்தில், மிகவும் சிரமப்பட்டு நடித்தேன். நமீபியாவில் நடந்த படப்பிடிப்பின்போது, இனிமேல் இதுபோன்ற படங்களில் நடிக்கக் கூடாது என்ற எண்ணம் ஏற்பட்டது. அங்கு பயங்கர வெயில். பாலைவனத்தில், செருப்பு அணியாமல் நடிக்க வைத்தார்கள். கொதிக்கும் மணலில் வெறும் காலுடன் நிற்க முடியாமல் கஷ்டப்பட்டேன். உடம்பெல்லாம் மண்ணும், தூசுமாக என்னை ஒருவழி பண்ணி விட்டது.

3 சிறுத்தைகள்

எனக்கு நீச்சல் தெரியாது. இருந்தாலும், நடுக்கடலுக்குள் இறக்கினார்கள். மூச்சு அடக்கும் பயிற்சி எனக்கு இருந்ததால், தப்பித்தேன்.

அடுத்து, சிறுத்தையுடன் நடிக்க வைத்தார்கள். ஒரு சிறுத்தை அல்ல. 3 சிறுத்தைகள். ஒரு பெரிய கூண்டு அமைத்து சிறுத்தைகளையும், என்னையும் அதற்குள் அமர வைத்தார்கள். அந்த சிறுத்தைகள் வெளிச்சத்தில் நிழலைப் பார்த்து பயந்தன. அதைப்பார்த்து நான் பயந்தேன். காலையில் இருந்து மாலை வரை என்னை சிறுத்தைகளுடன் உட்கார வைத்து விட்டார்கள். சரி, நமக்கு சிறுத்தையால்தான் முடிவு என்று உறுதியாக நம்பி விட்டேன். அதிர்ஷ்டவசமாக அந்த சிறுத்தைகள் என் மீது பாயவில்லை.

13 வருட கனவு

நான், ரொம்ப மெனக்கெட்டு நடித்த படம் இது. படத்தில் நடித்து முடிப்பதற்கு ஒரு வருடம் ஆகிவிட்டது. ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் இசையில் நடிக்க வேண்டும் என்பது என் 13 வருட கனவு. அது, ‘மரியான்’ படத்தில் நனவாகி இருக்கிறது. படத்துக்கு, இசை முக்கியமானதாக இருக்கும். நானும் ஒரு பாடலை எழுதியிருக்கிறேன். இவ்வாறு அவர் கூறினார்.

பார்வதி

நடிகை பார்வதி கூறியதாவது:– ‘‘பூ படத்தை பார்த்துதான் டைரக்டர் பரத்பாலா எனக்கு இந்த படத்தில் நடிக்கும் வாய்ப்பை கொடுத்தார். ‘மரியான்’ வாழ்க்கையில் நடக்கும் நிகழ்வுகள்தான் படத்தின் கதை. இந்த படத்தில், என் கதாபாத்திரத்தின் பெயர், பனிமலர். நெருக்கமான காதல் காட்சிகள் உள்ளன. அதில் நடிக்கும்போது, நான் சவுகரியமாகவே உணர்ந்தேன். மற்ற படங்களை விட, இந்த படத்தில் நான் அழகாக இருப்பதாக கூறுகிறார்கள். அதற்காக பிரத்யேகமாக எதுவும் செய்யவில்லை. டைரக்டர் சொன்னபடி நடித்தேன். அவ்வளவுதான்.’’ மேற்கண்டவாறு பார்வதி கூறினார். இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான், டைரக்டர் பரத் பாலா ஆகியோரும் ‘மரியான்’ படத்தை பற்றி பேசினார்கள்.

Ilaiyaraaja is my most favourite music director. His music was my lullaby, his music was my food, his music was my childhood, his music was my first love, his music was my failure, his music was my first kiss, my first love failure, my success... he is in my blood."

Being the most logical hubber, would you please bother to explain us the logic,sir? :)

[paranitharan]

Just answer. does someone need to use the service of an artist because he's a fan of said artist?

..meanwhile, it gets cloudy and some light showers start spreading and I start running in the open road looking for shelter... whilst at 1:41 it gradually transforms into dense rain all over, and at 1:55 mark it starts pouring heavily with hailstones, like I was right under a water fall which keeps building up force when my lungs start gasping, only for it all to come to a standstill at 2:40. Pause. The heart stops. Silence. Peace. Divine. Then the drizzle starts again and I remember that I have to breathe. I breathe and start walking along.. #engaponaraasa..

oh Maddy and other ARR fans from the same school of thought .. its time to dump Mariyaan and Raanjhanaa guys..

""You are doing now two films with AR Rahman — Raanjhanaa and Mariyaan. Who is your favourite music composer?
Ilaiyaraaja is my most favourite music director. His music was my lullaby, his music was my food, his music was my childhood, his music was my first love, his music was my failure, his music was my first kiss, my first love failure, my success... he is in my blood."

More often than not, that is the case. Fan is something different. But if I say someone's music is my snack,food,kiss,love then i would be expected to work with him at least in my home production. Since you are a wholesale agent of logic,you should be knowing this better. Aint you?

Budget thaan kaaranam for Thanus not using IR in his home production. I don't find any wrong in him saying food, snacks, beverages etc.

[paranitharan]

Don't cry. Stay calm. I just called you out on your illogical argument and in return you make it personal. Anyways I should have expected that from someone who couldn't use logic.

Dhanush also worships Gounder but I don't remember if he ever approached him for his services in any of his films. He doesn't need to prove to anyone his devotion to IR.

Kamal worships Sivaji but in how many of his films did Kamal use Sivaji?

Give him time, he took a leaf out of Kamal's book and put finanicial gain above favoritism and produced a film with Sivakarthikeyan in the lead and music by Aniruth. #jokes

Saar, FYKI IR's pay is less compared to Yuvan or Anirudh.


I don't find any wrong in him saying food, snacks, beverages etc.

I didnt find anything wrong too. I made it clear in a post of mine. My question was why Dhanush didnt use IR if he was such a die hard fan. When a releatively lesser known Pazha Karuppaiah wants his idol IR to compose for his production 'Naadi Thudikkudhadi',what stops Dhanush?

[Dinesh84]

Saar, FYKI IR's pay is less compared to Yuvan or Anirudh.

Very much likely IMHO :) Music directors' pay is decided by their market potential and Anirudh's albums have made it big.

Kadal raasa is at best an average.. lyrics does not sync with the tune at all ..

Africa music seems like some sports event music which we have heard before..

there can be no major criticism of this album from my side.. but nothing special .. my take is that even ARR fans wont like this album that much..

[mappi]

Paattu epdi irukku? Unga karuththu enna? :)

Not going into much details on composing and sound mixing, this is what I have to say about Mariyaan album :

Firstly, a soothing album from ARR. The only probleme that I could see is how its pictorised, as I do cannot visualise the song style with the suituation it would actually take place. For instance, I fear that couple of songs could extend the dragging moments, notably the "miraging" desert escape. Going by the lyrics, I am quite sure there is a song in there. Talking about lyrics, I usually had problems with the treatment of words given by ARR. For instance, Enga Pona Raasaa lyrics and the humming just don't blend, eventhough its my pick of the album - merely the chords beat it out.

Secondly, Nenjae Ezhu stands out to be an athem kind , rather than the motivating kind. Again the music and lyrics do not dance well. But ARR pitch was too good (sorry, getting technical here)

Thirdly, as in Kadal, I am surprised to see fisher men singing "Sona Pariya" (Golden Fairy) ... well if its to please the fans with a dance number I do not have a problem with it.

Finaly, the less talked about song I love My Africa song. Its just amazing to see it comming from OUR composer ARR. Here he has yet again set up a standard to the world.

Nenjae Ezhu : Athem

Innum Konjam : Lovely duet

Naetru Aval : Sad and dragging

Sonapareeya : Energetic (expect for the girl screaming in the middle of the song just as in the Tokyo Drift song)

Enga Pona Raasaa : Soothing

I Love My Africa : Best composition of an african song. I have heard a lot and this one is in par with them. Spl. Mention to the sound mixing. Its joyful, Mother Africa.

Kadal Raasa Naan : Nothing much to say except for YSR and ARR combo (does remind me of Kadhalar Dhinam - but I always had the "deja-heard" problem with certain ARR songs)

Mariyaan : Full meals.

[SoftSword]

Padan ... I really did not get what you say here ! is it how you (or someone else felt/feel) while listening to the song ?

try listening to the song peacefully and find it for urself at the mentioned places..

[Sunil_M88]

After many hearings, I Think I've compiled ALL MY FAVOURITES in order. Yes all
songs are my favourites... So Why Am I still being Fussy? Well here are some
factors and time marks which cause me to be moony!

"Nenjae Ezhu" - A favourite that still remains a favourite! There isn't any
technical jargon explanation behind this. To cut a long story short, when we
hear songs, we like to feel pure emotions and this song does exactly that.
Rahman Ji's voice causes a serious telepathic vibe which allows me to explore
what I want to with spiritual guidance.

"Innum Konjam" – The overall melody is highly diverging and yet somehow
possesses a soothing power. The best example of this melodic fluctuation is in
the second "Charanam" when Swetha Mohan sings, "Unakaaga Kaathirupen
Kaathirupenya.." There are many obvious evidences supporting my excitement but
I've chosen this one. Shweta Mohan's voice has this fragile texture which
resonates celestially. Furthermore, I feel the orchestration behests me to press
repeat every time. Without knowing the translation of this song, I had already
felt the essence of the song i.e. Tamil - M: Innum konjam neram irunthal-thaan
enna. Yen avasaram? Enna avasaram? English - Why don't you stay there for some
more time? Why such an urgency? What makes you to hurry? The lyrics convey my
feelings as I see myself hearing this numerous times on end!

So far my order for Maryan is following its track list order! The next one is
where things starts to get difficult. "Sonapareeya" or "Enga Pona Raasaa"? Hell,
what am I saying, all the remaining tracks make it arduous for me to decide my
favourite! If "Sonpareeya" exhibits those lovely raga touches via Javed Ali then
"Enga Pona Raasa" exhibits a dreamy highland like hum. If the former triggers
cavorting then the latter rocks you lightly as if you're a baby in a cradle.
Both are equally super depending on one's mood!

"Naetru Aval" has this choral in the ambiance which expands our boundaries so
much so that we become lost. Some call it the reverb effect but I call it a
perpetual sermon and Rahman Ji astutely makes us feel so tiny by creating such
grand majestic songs that we have no choice but to accept the fact that
ultimately we are nothing but slaves to his songs. They way Vijay Prakash
chants, "Aagayathil nooru nilaakkal. Angangey neela purakkalum parandhana" is
enough for us to forget ourselves. Chinmayi too takes us on a journey far far
away to an ethereal realm. We are floating after the song finishes!

"I Love My Africa"- The rhythm changes when Rahman Ji sings, "Welcome to
Africa!" which boosts wonderment in us. The horns have this warm feel that give
us great hospitality when we hear the song. The pads and the line, "Oh Mama
Africa" make me feel like reminiscing my childhood days in nursery. In the
song's penultimate part we have the authentic tribal sound (not that Blaaze
sounded faux) and the song matures to an unparalleled splendour.

"Kadal Raasa Naan" also comes with a fair share of repeat values, my favourite
being the "Shehnai" part from 03.44 to 04.00. The way the "Shehnai" tune ascends
plucks many emotional strings and it then descends, which causes butterflies
like the ones you get on roller coasters. The prelude and Yuvan's voice also
leave us grasping for more. Rahman Ji teases with us with many twists and turns
hence we feel dizzy after listening to such song.

Again all songs are equally my favourites but I wanted to challenge myself to
see if I can decide on favourites so here you have it:

1. "Nenjae Ezhu"
2. "Innum Konjam"
3. "Sonapareeya"
4. "Enga Pona Raasa
5. "Naetru Aval"
6. "I Love My Africa"
7. "Kadal Raasa Naan"

Oh! OK.
I have an exactly opposite approach the song had on me. It put me in a dry state. My understanding is that the sorrow embedded in the song is as a "bitter-wait (weight)" than griefness. I would say the rain is yet to come. Thats how I approached the song.

Anyway, interesting to see what others have to say.

Roja effect ?? :roll: .. husband in captivity, wifee longing for husband.. so Roja ? I dont think Roja is just that alone and Mariyaan too. Mariyaan will have its own flavors i believe, I think its more about survival/sustainability/inner will to stay alive in the dessert and go back to his love. I am very eager to see how danusss handled those survival scenes... i am sure comparisons to cast away/tom hanks will be made once the film is out

but still holding my tongue until the movie releases :???:

Maryan releasing in nearly 350 screens in TN. Advance booking is good in Chennai multiplexes.
Maryan is getting a lot of screens in North India, especially in multiplexes due to craze surrounding Dhanush & Raanjhanaa.

Mariyan got secondary halls only in chennai Multiplexes.. In Sathyam cineplex, it has got Santham; In Abirami Mall it is releasing in swarna sakthi... Even with Aascar banner and Rahman music Dhanush' movie could not get premium screens...

Excellent reviews from all who watched the preview show.

Award winning performance by Danush
Special mentions were made on AR Rahman, Parvathhi & the cinematography

[A.ANAND]

TFU Kannan ‏@TFU_Kannan 9时 #Maryan opens to amazing reports after the preview show today. Looks like a winner already! Can't wait to catch it tomorrow!!

[A.ANAND]

To start with 'Maryan' has some promising name in the cards. Dhanush , a National award winner, Bharat Bala- a former National award jury and a popular Ad film maker,Parvathy Menon- a sensible actress who opts for performance oriented roles, last but not lest the legendary AR Rahman's songs. Whether all these technically brilliant names created the much needed magic?, read no to know...

The film starts with Maryan's (Dhanush) telephone call from Africa to Panimalar (Parvathy). The first half of the film told as a flashback on the relationship between Maryan and Panimalar. Bharat Bala has beautifully sketched his characters which is one of the major strengths of Maryan. Especially the film captures the life of fisherman folks which so much reality and the natural film making gives the earthy feel to the movie.

Dhanush has one again come up with a splendid performance as Maryan. Maryan is a subtle,ferocious young man and he will go extreme to support his loved ones. There so many awe moments in the film, especially the scene where Dhanush slaps Parvathy during his closed ones death receives a thundering applause. Dhanush's phone call to Parvathy from the African terrorist camp is another scene which shows Dhanush is a tremendous actor at any day.The way Dhanush cries,laughs, suffer are close to sheer perfection and one must say that Maryan is one his best roles in recent times.

Coming to the heroine , Parvathy's character is not a ordinary glam doll role, if Maryan's energy during his struggle in Africa is Panimalar then Parvathy's character should create huge impact among the viewers and Parvathy did a fabulous job. The chemistry between Dhanush and Parvathy is so real and the magic is literally evident on screen.Parvathy once again proved that she is one actress who can deliver excellent performance in any kind of role.The other small characters like Appu Kutty,Uma Riyaz,Jagan,Imman found a place in our heart which is a victory for both the director and all these actors.

Marc Koninckx 's cinematography is crystal clear. The cinematographer has used different colour tones for the scenes in India and Africa. Even some of angles are too good, especially the African portions are simply superb. Editing by Vivek Harshan is adequate.

Coming to the music, after Mani Ratnam's films Bharat Bala has used AR Rahman's songs as a part of BGM and also an element in moving the screenplay of the movie. We all know the entire album is chart buster but in the film 'Nenjey Ezhu' stands tall so as Innum Konjam Neram. Nenjey Ezhu lifts the scene with electrifying energy and it is so inspiring.

Bharat Bala is a wonderful gift to Tamil cinema, his characterizations are well detailed and real as possible in a cinema format. Another interesting thing is that there is a novel, dramatic and musical touch to his scene conceiving which is a rarity is Tamil cinema. A best example is where Dhanush remembering Parvathy and her dream presence is something novel and the climax 'sea' logic during fight sequence is brilliant.

On the negative side though the director sketched all other characters in a detailed fashion, the African Terrorists were not sketched well. They were merely shown as a villain, instead it would be nice if they are portrayed with a solid reason on why they were very cruel. May be the director would have narrated the story in Maryan's point of view and Maryan don't know much about their demands or need.

On the whole Maryan is a feel good movie with a novel touch is present throughout . Watch it for the excellent acting, good music and a neat narration.







Verdict : Maryan - a heart stealer all the way!

[arulraj]

MARYAN MOVIE REVIEWAce ad filmmaker Bharathbala makes his Tamil feature film debut with Maryan, which sees the return of Dhanush to Tamil films after a sizable hiatus post 3. With the best possible technical crew assisting the director, Maryan comes with the promise of delivering great music and visuals. Maryan also continues the recent love affair that Tamil cinema seems to be having with the state’s coastal areas.

The trailer gave us the perfect gist of the tale with elements like love, separation, struggle, survival and hope being the pivotal emotions. We have to admit that the movie is exactly what the trailer led us to believe.

Maryan is a spirited young man who shares a deep bond with the sea and calls himself the ‘Prince of the Ocean’ as that is where he plies his trade and earns his livelihood in an adventurous manner. Circumstances surrounding his lady love Panimalar, force him to seek employment as a construction worker in Sudan. Just as he is about to return home, things take a turn for the worse.

Will the power of Maryan’s love for Panimalar cross geographical boundaries and prove to be his elixir?

The movie’s pace is leisurely all the way and the director might have deliberately slowed it down for the audience to feel the intensity of the emotions longer. The first half is mostly used to set up the deep bond between Maryan and Panimalar and whether this bond can withstand all the pain and suffering, is what the second half narrates.

Marc Koninckx’s visuals are poetic and out-of-this-world as he has fully exploited the wide visual canvas that Bharathbala has offered him. You might be reminded of Kadal and Neerparavai though, as the setting is the same.

A.R.Rahman has used the tunes of the magical ‘Enga Pona Raasa’ and ‘Kadal Raasa Naan’ prominently as part of the movie’s background score and this will resonate in your heart, long after the show is over. The wizard has brought his A-Game for the movie’s BGM score. His songs for the movie need no further mention but their visual treatment is mostly similar due to the repetitive situations and surroundings.

Dhanush has mastered pain and suffering on screen and he has apparently gone through an extraordinary physical struggle for the second half. His emotional prowess is displayed in the scenes when he mourns his dear friend’s loss, during his lovelorn phone calls with Panimalar and when he overcomes his starvation with an imaginary feast of seafood. When he bursts out and expresses how workers such as him are impoverished and helpless, you can feel his agony. Expect more awards to knock at the star’s doorstep.

His looks don’t have continuity at times and his hairstyle undergoes a noticeable change even within the same scene. The long production duration of Maryan shows.

Parvathy Menon is all oomph and looks really attractive in authentic native costumes. She is a terrific actress and shows her emoting range in Maryan. Her chemistry with Dhanush is really intimate and adds a lot of depth to the movie.

Among the support actors, Appukutty and Jagan have their moments as Maryan’s close friends while Uma Riyaz Khan is too loud and boisterous. The African villains are over-the-top and their modus operandi isn’t too logical and reasonable.

Ultimately, there is no questioning the crew’s hard work and the lead cast’s outstanding work. Maryan might not appeal to the common man seeking unadulterated entertainment but it is worth a trip to the theater nevertheless, for the very reasons mentioned above.



Verdict: A movie with breathtaking visuals, heart-stopping music,

terrifically talented cast set on a very leisurely paced narrative.

Padam romba sumaar. Press show reviewsa maranthutu expectation kammi pannitu paarunga.

[arulraj]

MaryanClearly, one of most awaited movies of the year, Maryan has been well worth the wait. This superbly crafted film has three heroes- Dhanush as Maryan (Man without death), AR Rahman’s outstanding score and Marc Koninckxx evocative cinematography.
Debutant director Bharath Bala has told a simple, clichéd story of an underdog's struggle for survival in a new milieu and that’s what makes the film entertaining and inspiring. Maryan is a roller-coaster ride of exhilarating romance in the first half and heightened drama after interval.
Maryan (Dhanush) is an aggressive fisherman who is slowly attracted to the feisty Panimalar (Parvathy) who is crazy about him. But Theekkurissi (Vinayakan) a local moneylender sets his eye on the beautiful Pani and wants to marry her in return to the huge loan that her father (Salimkumar) had taken. To get Pani, Maryan decides to go and work in Sudan, Africa as a construction worker under a contract of two years.
But on the day of his return, he along with co-workers is abducted and held ransom by Africans to get money from the company they work for! Does Maryan escape from the hot deserts where he is tortured and held captive?
Even when the film slackens in the second half, it is the characters that hold you spellbound by their interactions, particularly the two protagonists Dhanush and Parvathy along with the supporting cast of Appukutty as Sakkarai and Jagan as Sami who leave a lasting impression.
Dhanush has once again given a committed and riveting performance and is the biggest strength of the film. His complete submission to the character he played and the physical strain he took in the rough terrains makes him a strong contender for another award winning performance. Parvathy is the right mix of natural beauty and vulnerability. Christopher Minnie as Wolf the menacing villain is a face you're unlikely to forget.
Technically, Bharath Bala has made a brilliant film. Maryan wouldn't be half the film if it weren't for Marc Koninckxx breathless, dazzling cinematography with a gamut of varied camera angles to convey emotions against the backdrop of the beautiful sea and dry African deserts. Much credit must go to AR Rahman for contributing some great tunes and a sumptuous soundtrack which proves a worthy accompaniment to the film's crackling narrative. Songs are placed well and goes with the narrative.
On the downside the film is slow and slips into indulgent lapses like the much hyped cheetah scene, which is confusing for the viewer who isn’t clear if it was real or just an illusion of the tired and hungry hero!
On the whole, Maryan is an experience worth your time.
Verdict: Good

Horrible is that I can't make it to the theatres, its a sure miss *so sad*

[Anban]

why is life so predictable ??

reviews as expected .. must be a decent movie, i guess

[NOV]

Caution: Mariyan runs for four hours :shock:

If you are expecting a taut thriller with lots of action and fast screenplay, you will be severely disappointed. Bharatbala forgot to tell us that Maryan is a love story with the "kednaping" thrown in as an extra. Lots of logical loopholes - please Danush, don't ever beat up groups of people - your body ain't convincing enough. Also after nine days of hunger, no one would expect you to fight and win. :sigh2:

First half was okay, but 2nd half was insufferable. Amateurish direction is so apparent. And as for cliches... :roll: ... Sudanese kednapers will sing "africa-africa" show their bare bodies, and shoot in the air for no reason. (If Bharatbala takes a movie in US, will the song be america-america?)
The most :rotfl: worthy scene was the song maryan... kadavule :banghead:

Story: Pani loves Mariyan and tries to make him succumb to her. After a few futile attempts she succeeds. Meanwhile the villain demands to marry her as payment for the debts of the father. So Maryan goes to Sudan to work and pay off. Alls well until the end of the 2 years contract and on the way, he and two other get kidnapped by the Sudanese. The remaining story is how Maryan survives the kidnapping and reunites with Pani.

Danush and Parvati are about the only pluses of the film. Jagan to a smaller extent too. Will Danush get an award? Why not? When teh story is bland and everything else is plain, his role shines brilliantly.

AR Rahman's songs are not as catchy as in Kadal and the BGM is okay. Lots of cliches too.
Camerawork is good, but really... a santhosh sivan would have captured the scenes brilliantly. Don't know why it needed a hollywood cinematographer.

Given the Sudanese real life situation, in the hands of an able director like Vasantha Balan, a wonderful story could have been spinned which could have become a master piece. :roll:
And to think BharatBala mentioned Aadukkalam :sigh2:

Watch if you must, but be warned. ;)

When tweets mention acting, cinematography, music & nothing on the film as a whole, read between the lines. Maryan disappoints, not Dhanush!

#Mariyaan (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Mariyaan&src=hash) ~ 'Empty ground! Adhaan pattaa pottila'! Addicted to all #Parvathy (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Parvathy&src=hash) scenes! Thats it!!

My rating - 3.5/5...

[ajaybaskar]

Excellent first half with lot of 'wow' moments. Dragging second half with lot of 'sigh' moments. Post interval, the plot became quite similar to that of Roja. It also showed why Maniratnam is highly rated.

What an actor this Dhanush is becoming!! If Kamal has a successor in terms of acting, it should be this one. And TFI should feel for not having used Parvathy after Poo. Both made a great pair and the lead up to 'Innum konja neram' is one of the highlights.

ARR's chartbusters have been picturised well by BB. Netru Aval Irundhaal and Innum konja neram were visual treats. Missed watching the film in Auro 3D. I should've waited for it as I watched the film for only one man and Auro 3D would've given me the optimal experience.

they r telling the company moneys belongs to them.. they could do social activities against govt./company to get their rights..then y they r so rude..

If you had followed the 1st few pages of this thread, you would have easily made out that its a far fetched remake of PKS (Danush Version) and the sub plot is Johnny Mad Dog. These kids are "brain-washed" to carry out anti-social activities, so that, au milleu of the disturbances, "someone" can walk away with whatever theft they are trying to do. The lobby that provokes all this lies buried, even though there are many speculations but that's not the subject of this discussion here. So these kids take themselves as Demi-god - there is a scene in Johnny Mad Dog where the leader paints some "holy" oil on the kids and gives them chains and bracelets, prays and fires bullet into them. But they do not die, and then he assures them that they are protected by God. We are then shown that the shells are empty and the gunpowder was removed before in hand. You get the picture, why they are rude and aggressive - they are trained to be like that. Watch Lord of War and Blood Diamond, even though they are fictional, you can get an idea.

I also noted Nov taking about the "firing-dance". In Johnny Mad dog it is a terrorizing sequence which puts a depression in you while thinking the fate of these kids.

If anyone wish to watch Johnny Mad Dog => its in a documentary format. So be assured to get bored if you are not into this genre.

And I have not yet watched the movie Mariyan, don't know when I would. Glad that you liked the film.

Sumaar movie. Looks like critics watched different version. Movie moves at snail pace, esp 2nd half. Enjoyed the first half.

Felt this movie was running for 3 hours. Dhanush and panimalar was good.

I would prefer Aadukalam over mariyan.

I think nobody is comparing Aadukalam and Mariyaan. As you said the screenplay was bit in the slower side during second half but i think sometime directors need that time to give proper feel to the audience... ithuvey fast cuts oda , speed a pochununa, we might have said half baked, ootaveyila...etc etc...

This movie is not bad, anyday it will be in top 3 of Danush's

[kubrick]

Maryan never tries to be anything apart from being a story which unravels in a very beautiful way. That unpretentiousness of the maker has to be respected. Rahman's music has been, for once, been used aptly to tell a story and I was floored by the visuals. This movie is not an art movie and all but it is in a way like a grandmother telling a simple story in a very grand way to her grandchildren. This film had all the setting for being a political essay on the low lives of our fisherfolk or the racist/partiality of our political system against the poor and all. But it simply chooses to tell the story through Maryan who is aware of nothing much about the world apart from his Panimalar.

If the creator needs 2+ hours to tell the story he has in mind then we are not anybody to tell him otherwise. Not the kind of movie I enjoy and watch over and over again but this is not a pretentious or an over the top film which deserves heckling and pelting. Bharatbala is someone to watch for.

[kubrick]

:shock: his acting was so bad

Acting wasn't all that bad but dubbing was pathetic. That multiplied the awfulness of the character to too many levels. I think it was 'Thalaivasal' Vijay's voice.

Dhanush is touched and AR Rahman says ‘Ellapugazhum Iraivanukke’
Jul 20, 2013

“The first hero of Maryan is AR Rahman and then it is Dhanush,” applauded director Vetri Maaran after watching a special screening of Bharathbala’s Maryan. AR Rahman has been receiving some rave reviews and appreciations from the industry and the fans for his breathtaking work in the Dhanush-Parvathy starrer.


The Academy Award Winning composer, AR Rahman, floored by the response, posted in his page, “I am super thrilled and happy with the kind comments on Maryan songs, score and the success of the movie... Ellapugazhum irraivanukke!”


Dhanush, as usual didn’t fail to surprise the audience too. The dedication, variations and his mastery is evident on screen and no wonder the fans are ecstatic. Reacting to the comments, the National Award winning actor said, “I’m so overwhelmed by the grand opening you guys gave Maryan in spite of no publicity. This love is what I’ve earned in the past

[mappi]

Agree.
But if he fails to be crisp, from the viewership point of view he will be subjected to be criticized.

Not here, not here, there are few who are comparing these 2 movies. I was tempted to watch Mariyan after the initial over hyped reviews.It was decent effort, strictly one time watch atleast for me.

[sudha india]

Caution: Mariyan runs for four hours :shock:

If you are expecting a taut thriller with lots of action and fast screenplay, you will be severely disappointed. Bharatbala forgot to tell us that Maryan is a love story with the "kednaping" thrown in as an extra. Lots of logical loopholes - please Danush, don't ever beat up groups of people - your body ain't convincing enough. Also after nine days of hunger, no one would expect you to fight and win. :sigh2:

First half was okay, but 2nd half was insufferable. Amateurish direction is so apparent. And as for cliches... :roll: ... Sudanese kednapers will sing "africa-africa" show their bare bodies, and shoot in the air for no reason. (If Bharatbala takes a movie in US, will the song be america-america?)
The most :rotfl: worthy scene was the song maryan... kadavule :banghead:

Story: Pani loves Mariyan and tries to make him succumb to her. After a few futile attempts she succeeds. Meanwhile the villain demands to marry her as payment for the debts of the father. So Maryan goes to Sudan to work and pay off. Alls well until the end of the 2 years contract and on the way, he and two other get kidnapped by the Sudanese. The remaining story is how Maryan survives the kidnapping and reunites with Pani.

Danush and Parvati are about the only pluses of the film. Jagan to a smaller extent too. Will Danush get an award? Why not? When teh story is bland and everything else is plain, his role shines brilliantly.

AR Rahman's songs are not as catchy as in Kadal and the BGM is okay. Lots of cliches too.
Camerawork is good, but really... a santhosh sivan would have captured the scenes brilliantly. Don't know why it needed a hollywood cinematographer.

Given the Sudanese real life situation, in the hands of an able director like Vasantha Balan, a wonderful story could have been spinned which could have become a master piece. :roll:
And to think BharatBala mentioned Aadukkalam :sigh2:

Watch if you must, but be warned. ;)

p/s: Maryan does not run 4 hours. It just seems so :p

Agree with you NOV.

My comment : The move is a little bit Romance + Banged up abroad + I should'nt be alive + breakout (all programs in National Geographic channel). Parvathy is cute and amazing. Camera is stunning. RR is saving. Without which it would not be bearable. In the second half its like a song every 5 mins.

P.S. : Marakkaama tamil cinema formulava follow panni irukkaanga : Enthaan ella azhagaana ponnungaloda appavum ipdi egama kadan vangarangalo....... Kadan kudutha villan panam or ponnunu iruppan. Hero eppovum pola oru ezhai. When will they break this in TFI ? Idha maathavaavadhu Thamizh Padam 2 edukkanum.

dhanush's acting was superb.. and parvathi is pretty and looks good in closeups ( anaalum saravana stores ad-la samantha vandhappo theatrela whistle adhigam ) - first padamnu directoraa mannichu vitrualama.. i wish someone else had directed the movie... it was so slow that we lost touch with story at places.. i felt the second half was better...

Maryan: Labours of love

By Bardwaj Rangan - The Hindu, July 202013

"There are hyper-expressive actors who play to the gallery — so we can marvel at all that huffing and puffing, all that acting — and there are those who quietly vanish into the part, and then there’s Dhanush, who beautifully straddles the middle."

'ஆணியே புடுங்க வேணாம்' - ஆஸ்கர் முடிவு!
http://cinema.vikatan.com/uploaded/Mariyan-Movie-stills-07.jpgதனுஷ் - பார்வதி நடிப்பில் வெளியாகி ஓடிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் படம் 'மரியான்.' பரத்பாலா இந்தப் படத்தை இயக்கி உள்ளார். ஆஸ்கர் ரவிச்சந்திரன் தயாரித்து உள்ளார்.

சூடான் நாட்டில் வேலை செய்த ஒரு இந்தியத் தொழிலாளிக்கு ஏற்பட்ட சம்பவத்தை மையமாக வைத்து இந்தப் படம் எடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

ஒரே மூச்சில் 50 அடி ஆழ்கடலில் சென்று மீன் பிடிப்பவராக தனுஷ் நடித்துள்ளார். அவருக்கு நீச்சலும் தெரியாது, நீருக்குள் மூச்சு பிடித்து மூழ்குவதும் முடியாது. எனவே, வெளிநாட்டில் இருந்து இதற்காக சிறப்பு பயிற்சி கொடுப்பவர்களை வரவழைத்து, அவர்களிடம் கற்றுக் கொண்டு தனுஷ் இப்படத்தில் நடித்தார்.

50 அடி ஆழ்கடலில், ஆக்சிஜன்கூட இல்லாமல், உப்புத் தண்ணீரில் கண்ணாடிகூட போடாமல் மிகவும் தத்ரூபமாக நடித்துள்ளார் தனுஷ்.

படத்திற்கு ஒளிப்பதிவு செய்திருக்கும் மார்க் கோனிக்ஸ் பெல்ஜியம் நாட்டைச் சேர்ந்தவர். இசை அமைத்திருக்கும் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் உலக அளவில் புகழ்பெற்றவர்.

எனவே, 'மரியான்' படத்தின் இந்தி உரிமையை புகழ்பெற்ற நிறுவனம் ஒன்று 5 கோடி ரூபாய்க்கு விலைபேசி உள்ளது. ஆஸ்கர் ரவிச்சந்திரனும் இதற்கு ஒப்புக் கொண்டார்.

இதை அறிந்த தனுஷ், தனக்கு அதில் இரண்டு கோடி ரூபாய் வேண்டும் என்றாராம். ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானும் தனக்கு இரண்டு கோடி ரூபாய் வேண்டும் என்று கேட்டிருக்கிறார்.

தனக்கு ஒரு கோடி ரூபாய் மட்டுமே வரும் என்று தெரிந்ததும், 'ஆணியே புடுங்க வேணாம்' என ரீமேக் உரிமையை விற்க மறுத்துவிட்டாராம் ஆஸ்கர் ரவிச்சந்திரன்.

I agree that it will get criticized, mappi, but every movie gets criticized for something or the other but criticizing for the pacing of the film is something only we, in India, do. The film is never stagnant in any place and the story keeps moving unlike some recent films which called themselves "layered" which I thought was extremely pretentious. Dint you think Maryan was a honest film where the director just wanted to tell a story in his own way? I think that is something which should be appreciated.

[19thmay]

Wt a movie yaar ?? Yaar kaththukkoduthathu intha yaar ...

Peter review rejected

:lol: Neenga indha hub-in pazha nedumaran

[easygoer]

I think the director's objective is to show the emotional state of Maryan and panimalar for 2.40 hours. So its all about the incidents what these two people face and how it affects them emotionally. I had a feel that african terrorist portion was not handled properly but director used these sequences just to stimulate the emotions of protagonist and capture it and to present it to the audience. So everything takes backseat and prime focus is on lead actors alone. So pragmatically for a movie of this kind, fast screenplay, thrilling moments etc., are not needed and entire playing ground has been provided to the lead actors to showcase their acting skills

I subjectively feel bharat bala has achieved 50-60% of this objective. If he had fully achieved it, the movie would would have been on a different league. I felt the emotional intensity is missing. Though I was able to enjoy most of scenes, none of the scenes shook me off or I never felt a strong urge that both should get united at the end.

From revenue standpoint, director has to make some compromises. There are two side kicks to the hero and a villan whose profession being rape and finance. But these compromises are very meagre considering the premise. Bharatbala has tried to remain true to the story to the maximum

Camera work, Music and background score has been outstanding. Performance of Danush and parvathy is top notch. Danush is becoming a "nadipu ratchasan :) "

Some ideas which I liked are,

if a person gets caught in a helpless situation and if none of the doors seem to open, the person would lose his confidence, In order to gain the confidence, some motivation is needed and here, hero gets the motivation in the form of "love" which gives him courage and makes him to survive against all the odds., This has been captured beautifully. Similarly in one more scene, mariyan is in deep grief over his friend's death, panimalar reaches to him and explains her problematic situation but mariyan will not even give his ears and treats her badly though he is in deep love. The way climax ended was also good.

Overall, the movie may not be the best in all aspects but still worth watching...

[Dilbert]

Watched the movie yesterday @ AGS, OMR and liked it.
Great performances from both Dhanush and Parvathy. Dhanush, looks like has done enough already for some awards next year.
The first half was quite good and the second half comparatively looks a lil dragged.
Overall, though the movie is slow, the performance of both the lead actors makes it a sure watch.

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Just got to watch the movie. And for one it is very difficult to categorise the movie as a complete love story. It is basically two films rolled into one and in the end all we get is a convoluted plot....Its neither this or that.And am I the only person who believes that even the love track between Mariyaan and Pani (before he sets off to Sudan) looked contrived. I could never really feel the turbulence that Mariyaan goes through in his mind before accepting her love.At start, he treats her like nothing but a whizzing fly that irritatingly buzzes across the ears. And the reasons put forth for him to fall for her suddenly is what makes it contrived for me. You not only feel you'r watching two movies rolled into one, but also two Mariyaans. No. I am not talking the kadal raasa being reduced toa hapless victim in the palaivanam. Rather I am talking about Mariyaan the lover. There is some sort of tenderness in mariyaan when he speaks over the phone to Pani, a trait missing in him completely when he is at the sea. A change brought about by his love for Pani. We never get to experience the transition. we know the guy's changed, but we never experience it. We get a voice over at the start from Mariyaan about Sudan, Pani and man being the same irrespective of the geographical location.But the voice over is immediately chucked off once the movie moves to the flashback. Probably it should have been enforced here as well.....
