Mahaveeryar - Review
Engaging entertainer
Mahaveeryar is the third collaboration of Nivin Pauly and filmmaker Abrid Shine. It is a film involving elements of time travel and courtroom drama.
The film's first half tells the tale of a king (played by Lal) with a weakness for women. He issues an unusual decree to his minister (Asif Ali), who is responsible for the execution of it. It is this journey that leads to a chain of events covering the first part of the movie. Meanwhile, a godman Apoornananthan, played by Nivin Pauly, arrives at a village set in the present times. He is soon accused of stealing an idol from a temple and brought to court. While the police and the rest of the village try to portray him in a bad light, he uses his sharp wit and unparalleled knowledge of the law and myth to defend his case. What happens when the King, Minister lands in the court for a trial.
Nivin Pauly is at his best. He evokes laughter and portrays his role convincingly. Lal and Siddique Ali adds strength. excellent job with the costumes in the film. Chandru Selvaraj, who is cranked the camera for the film, has done a fantastic job.
