A predictable collision course
Despite competent performances � Shane Nigam and Kalaiyarasan do their level best to rise above the din � Madraskaaran can�t overcome the weight of its own contrivances. By the end, you�re left wondering why it took so many fights and tear-stained close-ups to say so very little.(more)

Shane Nigam and Kalaiyarasan headline an outdated action drama
Madraskaaran is one of those classic cases where the story might sound fascinating on paper and with prudent making, can make for a decent action drama. But it�s the making in which the film falters the most and with very little support, it comes down crumbling soon after. In a bid to get to the crux of the story, we have to go through two back-to-back songs with one of them being a remix of the classic �Kaadhal Sadugudu� (Why?) and hear Sathya tell the girl he�s getting married to his backstory because that�s apparently the only way we know why the �Madraskaaran� is not in... Madras. It�s these writing choices that weigh down Madraskaaran�s otherwise decent plot.(more)
