The film is an emotional journey of a common man to an unknown place with the hope to come home and lead a better life. The film revolves around a story of human survival adapted from a newspaper article of a real-life crisis event, when three oil workers from India were kidnapped and taken hostage in Sudan.

A well crafted slow burn survival/ romantic drama, that stands out for its extraordinary coastal visuals, AR Rahman’s mesmerizing musical score and for the brilliant characterizations and performances from Dhanush and Parvathy. Though the African portions carries a few stereotypes and far fetched elements dragging the drama down, the movie ends up a worthy watch for its soulful love story.

days till dhanush’s bday: 10
TEN YEARS OF MARYAN 🗣️🗣️🗣️
(get ready for an essay!)
let me be very honest: i had no idea july 19th marks the tenth year of this movie- i only found out from our lovely rahman sir’s insta feed, which is kind of funny because i’m one of the biggest advocates for this movie.
i believe that there are 8 characters that dhanush has acted as which shaped his career (i’ll let you guess what movies): kumar, prabhu, sivasamy, ram, karnan, anbu, karuppu, and maryan- it’s just that maryan is SLEPT. ON.
the first half is just okay, but the second half really solidifies dhanush’s title as kadal raasa in this movie. not to mention…
What a film!!
Went like a 1000 times better on rewatch.
all i gotta say is...parvathy.
Maryan :-
Maryan being beautiful and emotionally provoking, heartbreaking at same time. Well made in terms of picturising how one's life is bouncing with happiness near sea and went through sorrow and pain in desert, a melting performance from Dhanush. A delightful music of ARR. One of the Overlooked movies from Tamil.
Nenje Ezhu...
Rating :- 7.5/10
Another day..another gem we failed to celebrate
Climate nalla irunchu, so felt like watching this today 😋. The most gorgeous Dhanush and Parvathy has ever looked on screen and oh that chemistry 🥵🥵🥵.
Unnale illai, unakaaga...
adutha moochiku vandhruven...
Yet another year of me turning older while watching Maryan, I really don't know what would I have become without this movie, maybe soon I will sit down and write about it properly, but just wanted to log it here too and not just in my journal, I love you Maryan, I am glad I exist🧿💚
Aayiram sooriyan suttaalum,
Karunaiyin varnam karaindhaalum,
Vaanvarai adharmam aandalum,
Manidhan anbai marandhaalum,
Valiyaal ul uyir theinthaalum, un kaadhal azhiyaadhey.....
Even if a thousand suns burn you down, even if the lustre of compassion melts away, even if injustice rises sky high, even if love is forgotten by humans, even if pain erodes your inner soul, Your love will never die.....
Is somebody gonna match my 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴? A soft love with the intention to devour each other. my Panimalar yearnings for her Maryan and how she became his sun in the midst of all the cruel shadows he was in. How her warm love let his guard down and their souls became entangled forever.
How her longing turned into his strength…
dhanush looks absolutely angelic in this he should stay dripping in water at all times
Celebrating 30 years of Rahmania l AR Rahman Film Festival Screening:
Maryan is one of those films which I found underwhelming back then upon it's original release but has grown on me leaps and bounds ever since that I love it so much now. Safe to say the film which didn't do too well back then, has found its intended audience over the years that it has gained a cult following of sorts in how they celebrate the love story, songs, visuals and the performances now (For a 10 year old movie and a Working day Matinee show, movie hall was 75% full today).
To those who still don't get it, in the same modulation of Maryan's first call to…
Just watch it for the songs
