Maayon's intriguing premise let down by inadequate filmmaking
The tacky visual effects pretty much belong to the films we got when Marma Desam was on air. Perhaps realising this, Ilaiyaraaja comes up with an uncharacteristically bombastic score that tries to compensate for the lack of visual grandeur. The film leaves us with the feeling of having squandered an opportunity to give us a desi version of The Da Vinci Code.(more)

A VFX showreel in search of an intriguing film
Maayon is one of those films that is more amusing as an idea in mind or as text on paper. You can see the effort being poured in to translate this vision onto the screen, but somehow, the execution, although adequate, doesn�t do justice to the imagination of both the creator and the viewer.(more)

Go for this one if you fancy action adventures with the proper mix of myths and science.
What works best in 'Maayon' are firstly the grey lead characters and their treasure hunt that keep the audience interested. The film gives equal importance to the myth and the science explaining both the streams with conviction which is a plus. The second half especially where a clock is ticking speeds up the pace and things become interesting and most of the explanations in the end are convincing.(more)
