Director AR Murugadoss' Tamil comeback after 5 years is marked with the release of Sivakarthikeyan-lead Madharaasi today. Madharaasi first shows began at 9 AM in Tamil Nadu, and a little earlier than than in other domestic and overseas locations. Early Madharaasi reviews have started pouring in, and some of them found on the X platform are listed below. MovieCrow's Madharaasi review also follows. 

Given the recent drought of well made masalas, quite liked #Madharaasi . A bit overlong but this is action masala that is done mostly right. An interesting core and some good old basic entertainment! #MadharaasiReview

Decent Action Thriller👍#Sivakarthikeyan & #RukminiVasanth were good✌️

#Madharaasi - This Raghu-Malathi love story in the backdrop of an action packed theme is very interesting & well made. Highly engaging and emotionally connecting making by @ARMurugadoss sir.

Rukmini Vasanth’s character writing is pretty good, she has a major part in driving the screenplay at many places.#RukminiVasanth pic.twitter.com/YfHhaEM4MZ

#madharaasi : Good Watch ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/(3.75/5)

Action / Thriller | Tamil | Theatrical | 2 hr 50 min

மதராஸி ஒரு வரியில் வர்ணிக்கணும்னா “Action Packed Visual Extravaganza” 🎬🔥

சுமாரான முதல் பாதி, அதன் பின் சூப்பரான இரண்டாம் பாதி… குறிப்பாக கடைசி ஒரு மணி நேரம் full அதிரடி தான்… pic.twitter.com/QneL4QBMLx
