Right from Autograph and Thavamai Thavamairandu you expect Director/Actor Cheran to come up with a winner this time. To an extent, Cheran does suceed the viewer but he looses their patience in the 2nd half. Bottom line - Back to rural you go Cheran.
We are introduced to Kumar (Cheran) and Maheshwari (Navya Nair) as hair stylists. Both of them are friends turned lovers trying to come up in Society. One day, Kumar overhears a scheme to becoming rich and he gets Maheshwari to quit their jobs and follow that scheme. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out. The real purpose in life is to get everything that every wealthy person can own. Cheran gets another idea by trying out to be an actor for Tamil Cinema. That also doesn't work out. The rest of the story unfolds such as parents health, money problems and love matter.
Cheran's given his best performance. Watch out for the well-executed scenes such as his acting profile and his scenes with Navya. Navya does okay but she needs to lose some weight. Radha Ravi is adequate. Guest stars, Shwetha Konnur (Malavika), Sarath Kumar, and Arya make their presence felt.
Music by Ilaya Raja strikes a chord in your mind while his Background score (Instrumental of Oyele Yenga...) lingers forever in your heart.
On the whole, Mayakannadi is a average flick that might reflect on your lives but not as much as the Director's past flicks [AUTOGRAPH, THAVAMAI THAVAMAIRANDU].
