The film seems to not side with her many times. Be it when her happy college days are intercut with Anand struggling or when she tells off Viraj after a bad argument but he begins to blackmail her. Yes, she blackmails him first but the music supports Viraj.

Probably, having both sides feels like a neutral POV. But when one perspective overpowers the other, it is hardly neutral. Just because we include everyone's perspective, it doesn't give the intended effect, especially when the editing, music and dialogues say something else.

That said, a lot of these are written differently in the second half. Her father who was probably shown with silences here and there, finally, explicitly stands with her. She gets a long monologue to tell what all of it meant to her. But the ending shot undoes all of it again.

The symbolism of the dogs in
#Maamanan
is arguably the best of Mari Selvaraj metaphors.
If you see it from Veeran's pov, it is a reflection of Rathnavel & power. (The drawing pig vs. dog)
But from Rathnavel's pov, they are like people below him, who make him feel powerful.

When she roams around with Viraj, you get a scene of Anand being beaten up by the money lender. You see her call his gifts dappa, you see her as a materialistic person who also doesn't think twice before taking a dig at her lover's financial status.

When she chooses to avoid her old friend and not attend Anand's calls, when she chooses to kiss Viraj, when her parents approve of her makeover - you of course see why she does it from her pov but there is always some other layer that shows her in bad light.

The win mattered but the path looked very easy. There were casteist political moves yet they were won quickly. The video move was not just cliche but convenient
Finally watched

- Felt it is Mari Selvaraj's least impactful film (that doesn't mean it's a poor film in any way) despite featuring some incredibly affective stretches of filmmaking.

He isn't hesitant to accept that Aditi Shankar has more power and confidence than him. Likewise, the film's big strength is its humour. Not just Yogi Babu and Sivakarthikeyan, even Aditi Shankar, Sarita and others have rib-tickling dialogues that bring the house down(4/5)

Exactly, people just underestimate the power of fiction. It can do wonders like no other - it is an escape that also helps with self-reflection, relaxation, motivation and joy, and sometimes gives you the space to release your emotions.
Self help is a great genre (i read tons of it) but lol, fiction is the OG category of self help...do yourself a favour, read some stories :) it will enrich your life like nobody's business ♥️
