On a whole Maari is a regular masala movie, the ones which hardcore Dhanush fans would love to watch.
Whats more pricking is that Dhanush after establishing name across Pan India as a man who could pull of a blinder with Raanjhaana, 3, Shamitabh is back in a role which has little scope for experimentation, something which he always embraced with. For a man of his caliber, the expectation from an ordinary fan is always sky high and Maari falls short of that.
