Kollywood audiences expected Maareesan would be a sure-shot blockbuster, as they believe that Fahadh Faasil would never disappoint with his choice of movies and that Maareesan would also become an iconic Kollywood film.
However, after its release, even though Maareesan has a different and interesting plot, the screenplay in the second half of the movie was a major letdown, according to Kollywood audiences who watched it in theaters.
After receiving mixed responses, Maareesan is now struggling to attract audiences to theaters, as many people are not even aware of its release. Some are preferring to watch Vijay Sethupathi's Thalaivan Thalaivii, which was also released yesterday and has received positive responses.
Current trends suggest Maareesan is heading towards disaster. However, it remains to be seen how it will perform at the box office in the coming days and whether it will cross the break-even mark.
