New Delhi: Maaveeran is a movie directed by Madonne Ashwin, who is known for his previous work on the film Mandela. It stars Sivakarthikeyan and Aditi Shankar in the main roles, with Bharath Sankar composing the music. The movie was produced by Arun Viswa under the Shanthi Talkies banner, and the distribution rights in Tamil Nadu were acquired by Red Giant Movies. It was released in theaters on July 14th.
In the movie, Sivakarthikeyan’s appearance is said to be similar to that of Superstar Rajinikanth in the film Thalapathy. Interestingly, Maaveeran is also the title of a Rajinikanth film released in 1986. According to sources, the story revolves around a gangster who undergoes a transformation to become a champion against illegal activities. The events in the movie unfold from there. The Telugu title of the film is Mahaveerudu.
Plot
Maaveeran is an intriguing tale that combines mystery, action, and comedy. It revolves around the clash between a powerful politician and the art director of a news channel. The art director, despite being naturally polite and gentle, finds himself unable to stand up for himself in typical situations. However, when he hears a whistle, something incredible happens—he undergoes a remarkable transformation and becomes a superpowered individual. The remainder of the film follows his journey as he utilizes his newfound abilities to bring about positive changes in the politician’s life or perhaps simply indulges in the fun of having superpowers.
OTT Release
Before its theatrical release, Maaveeran managed to secure a good deal by selling its rights for online streaming, satellite broadcast, and music. Amazon Prime Video acquired the Tamil and Telugu digital streaming rights for a significant amount. After the movie completes its successful run in theaters, it will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, most likely around five weeks after its release. Additionally, Sun TV obtained the rights to broadcast the movie on television.
Box Office Collection
The movie Maaveeran has achieved a significant milestone by crossing Rs 50 crore in worldwide box office collections. Now, it is aiming to reach Rs 100 crore. On Tuesday, July 18, the film continued to perform well at the box office, attracting a good number of viewers. Since there are no major Tamil releases in the upcoming weeks, Maaveeran is expected to remain a popular choice among Tamil cinema fans.
On its fifth day, Maaveeran maintained its strong performance at the box office. After crossing Rs 50 crore worldwide, the film earned an estimated Rs 3.25 crore in India on July 18. This brings the total domestic box office collection to Rs 34.70 crore (after deductions) in five days.
On July 18, Maaveeran had an occupancy rate of 18.42%. The film has received positive responses from various sources.
