Cast: Dhanush, Kajal Aggarwal, Vijay Yesudas, Robo Shankar, Mime Gopi, Kaali Venkat, Shanmugapandian, Kalloori Vinoth .Direction: Balaji Mohan.Genre: Action.Duration: 2 hours 18 minutes.
Synospsis: A local don locks horns with the new cop, who has come to his place, but both are not what they initially seem to be.

Maari largely feels like one huge build-up without any proper pay-off.
The story is set in a slum, where Maari (Dhanush, infusing the character with life), a small-time thug, whose heart is in pigeon racing. His rival is Bird Ravi (Mime Gopi), who has been completely overshadowed by Maari, who has become the go-to guy for a bigger don, Velu Annan (Shanmugarajan). Enter a new inspector, Arjun Kumar (Vijay Yesudas, making his debut), who is determined to crack an age-old murder that happens to be the one which gave Maari his fearsome reputation. We also get a sub-plot involving red sanders, probably to make this story seem topical.
