Screenplay Execution - In the beginning, the chasing scene used for the title card was nice. After that, the screenplay took some time to get into the core. But the screenplay was in a good speed without bored feel. When the screenplay gets into the track, it becomes very intriguing. It also broke some predictable scenes. The interval block was good. In the second half, the pace of the intriguing screenplay was on the right track without any deviation. Towards the climax, some usual treatment of screenplay and predictability made the engaging factor little bit low. The ending of the film was also good.
Main Negatives - There are some flaws in this film, which cannot be said as a great blunder. Some scenes in the first half cannot be considered as unnecessary, but disturbed the flow. Some logical errors were seen in the unusual plot. In few scenes of the second half, the usual pattern was followed which slows down the interest. But, these won't make you dislike the film. You will get fulfilled at the end.
Verdict
Maayavan is an usual crime thriller with the treatment of sci-fi in recent times. If the director concentrated on the above flaws, the thriller would have been more convincing. Still, it deserves a must watch for the engaging screenplay and for the performance of lead actors.
Cut Short Rating - 8.6/10
