Movie Verdict
Maayon fits the description of a treasure-hunting movie, but it doesn’t keep you interested the entire time. The story shifts and the initial intrigue to watch the rest of the movie wanes as a result. The film starts with narration that details the history of an ancient temple. Later, it shifts to the introduction of the characters.
Although Maayon has several intriguing plot points, its questions about science outside of miracles are its best feature. There are, however, a few action sequences and some exciting moments that keep you engaged for a while.
Although the rest of the cast gave it their best effort and Tanya Ravichandran’s role was well-developed, there wasn’t much opportunity for performance in this film.
The 2 and a half-hour running time of the movie left room for improvement in the VFX and cinematography by Ram Prasad, the music by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja, and the other technical team members efforts fell short of expectations, despite the fact that Kishore N’s statement is valid.
In conclusion, if you like watching adventure movies, you should check out Maayon.
Rating: 3/5
