Rating: 2.5 out 5
Cast/Crew: Director Karthik Subbaraj's new movie Mahaan starring Vikram Dhruv Vikram, Simran, and Bobby Simha is now out on Amazon Prime.
Story: The film opens with a prologue, set in 1968, involving three boys playing a game of cards and Ending up having a falling out with each other. Years roll by, and we see one of them, Gandhi Mahaan (Vikram), leading an unfulfilled life with his wife Naachi (Simran) and son Dada (Dhruv), Where he is compelled to follow Gandhian Values. Having just turned 40, he's in the middle of a midlife crisis moment. So he decided to go out and drink and have fun. He accidentally meets Sathyavaan (Simha), his childhood friend who has taken over his father's alcohol business both decide to party the night away. But, the next day, his wife Naachi finds out and leaves, taking their son with her. Suddenly Life had taken a dramatic turn for Gandhi and soon, he has to Take a Big life choice to make.
Reveiw: Vikram, as usual, is fantastic as Gandhi Mahaan seamlessly, transforming from a timid school teacher to a menacing gangster and the rest of the main cast does a fine job as well.
One of the main problems with Mahaan is it takes a lot of time to enter the main Story in fact the entire first half is a setup for the Main Story. Another issue is the emotional depth, So it does not hit you as it should. As always, There's a Karthik Subbaraj twist in the end as well.
Overall the movie turned out to be neither good nor bad to watch.
