A better screenplay would add more strength.
Director Singapuli could have tightened up the screenplay to give a crisp finale. Surya has given a superb performance. Jyothika is cute but does her bit of overacting. She has a put on accent for dialogue delivery which is quite jarring on the ear. Devi Sri Prasad's music gives a sense of déjà vu. He shows great promise in re-recording and background score.(more)

Fun and frolic.
You have to straightaway hand it to director Singapuli for having chosen a different kind of story. Though the handling of the same could obviously have been better and script much more taut, the point is Maayavi is no run-of-the-mill potboiler. To be sure, it is indeed commercial entertainer. But it is one with some finesse and finish. Surya is pure unadulterated fun. Jyothika passes muster. On the positive side is also the music of Devi Sri Prasad. Ratnavelu's camera work is easy on the eye.(more)
