Madharaasi: Why watch Sivakarthikeyan and AR Murugadoss film

An out-and-out commercial actioner

Madharaasi is touted to be an out and out actioner, which will also contain some quintessential commercial elements, making it a wholesome theatrical experience for all. The film has placed itself to be an entertainer, much like the previous Sivakarthikeyan films, while AR Murugadoss also has a track record of delivering hero-centric films with ample moments to enjoy.

AR Murugadoss’ potential comeback

AR Murugadoss, whose last film was Hindi Salman Khan-starrer Sikander, had bombed at the box office, is expected to make a comeback with Madharaasi. Not only that, the filmmaker’s last Tamil outing was five years back with Rajinikanth’s Darbar. With both the films not living up to the name of Murugadoss, Madharaasi is expected to be that one comeback film.

Sivakarthikeyan’s next after Amaran success

Sivakarthikeyan’s last film Amaran had released for Diwali last year and had opened to critical acclaim and box office success. After receiving fantabulous reviews for the film, the actor’s next is Madharaasi. Sivakarthikeyan, who appears in an intense avatar, headlines an AR Murugadoss film for the first time, and that has set up more expectations.

Talented cast and crew

Besides AR Murugadoss and Sivakarthikeyan, the film also features Kannada actor Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, as the Thuppakki villain Vidyut Jammwal returns as antagonist to Tamil cinema. Biju Menon, Vikranth and others are also part of Madharaasi, which has gained a lot more expectations on the film, not to forget Anirudh Ravichander has scored the music.

A film with not a message but ‘warning’

While the plot of Madharaasi have not been revealed, AR Murugadoss has earlier said that the film will have a warning about a potential danger that can strike us, rather than a message he wants to tell through the story. This has increased anticipations on what would be the potential conflict in the film.
