Maaveeran is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language political superhero film written and directed by Madonne Ashwin, of Mandela (2021) fame, and produced by Arun Viswa. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Sivakarthikeyan and Aditi Shankar in the lead roles, while Mysskin, Yogi Babu, Sunil, Saritha (first appearance after 10 years) and Monisha Blessy in supporting roles. The film revolves around Sathya, a comic book artist, who is forced to take on Jeyakodi, a corrupt politician, when a voice he hears in his mind foretells events and puts him in precarious situations. Maaveeran was scheduled to release on 11 August 2023, but was preponed to 14 July 2023 in order to avoid clash between Jailer and received positive reviews from critics. The film was a commercial success.
The film takes a long time to set up things, and it gets excruciating to see Sathya , a coward, getting beaten up and shamed repeatedly. A comic artiste, Sathya sells himself short by letting someone use his sketches for a Tamil paper. He doesn’t have it in him to demand money or an opportunity from the one exploiting him. Nila, the sub-editor of the paper, ends up standing up for Sathya and gets him a job. Meanwhile, Sathya and others living in a slum are made to relocate to a multi-storey apartment as part of the government scheme. Things get worse when things in the apartment start falling apart, literally. The subpar construction makes the apartment inhospitable but people are left with no option. While Sathya’s mother keeps revolting against the contractor, the son keeps telling her to ‘adjust’. He instead uses all his troubles to create content for his comic Maaveeran, a superhero who solves all the problems of the oppressed. But when he realizes even his mom considers him unfit to live a respectful life, Sathya tries to take his life. Though he fails in doing this as well, he sustains an injury to his head, and he starts hearing a voice. With the new voice taking precedent to Sathya's actions, he acts on the voice's suggestions to make decisions in his life, ranging from minute decisions to major plot points. He eventually due to the suggestions of the voice, is led to a conflict with a politician Jeyakkodi, who was the brains behind the relocation of the former slum dwellers, to boost his political reputation. Sathya and the other dwellers of the new accommodation continually endure problems with the issues of the new constructions from wall cavings, leaking ceilings to major cracks which cannot be fitted by patch works. Sathya on the actions of the suggestions of the voice, becomes a public figure who's directly in opposition to Jeyakkodi. The plot follows how Sathya resolves the conflict with Jeyakkodi and how he saves the people from an imminent disaster of the building collapsing on itself.
Maaveeran had a theatrical release in 14 July 2023. It was initially scheduled for theatrical release on 11 August 2023. However, to avoid a box office clash with Jailer, the makers preponed it to 14 July.
A cowardly cartoonist starts being 'controlled' by a cartoon action figure, and takes on a corrupt politician.
