Abrid Shine’s Mahaveeryar has completed two years of its theatrical release. Asif Ali, Nivin Pauly, Shanvi Srivastava, Lalu Alex, Lal, and Siddique play important roles in this multi-starrer. The makers should be commended for taking on the experimental project of creating a fantasy with time travel and courtroom drama elements. Here are some of the top reasons to watch this movie, which is available for streaming on OTTplay Premium and Sun NXT.

Reasons to watch Mahaveeryar

Intriguing narrative

M Mukundan's story served as the inspiration for the film. One side of the dispute involves Apoornananthan, a monk, who is accused of stealing a temple idol. The creators demonstrate how antiquated the nation's legal system is during the court proceedings by drawing comparisons to a case from centuries ago in which a minister abducts a woman in order to appease his king. The remainder of the movie's story revolves around how the case is handled in the modern legal system. Among the performances, the narrative undoubtedly steals the show.

Abrid Shine’s brilliant script

The boldest movie Abrid Shine has ever made is Mahaveeryar. The director tackles a serious and timely subject in the most ironic way possible while keeping the themes straightforward. The way that Shine sets up the courtroom, where a lot of the drama takes place, is one of the Nivin Pauly-starrer’s best part.

Relevant subject presented in a satirical way

The audience is guided through the concepts of prejudice, perceptions, the weighting of intangible emotions in court, and the relative importance of these emotions over facts and figures through Apoornananthan's defence. The fundamental theme of Mahaveeryar is the abuse of power. By drawing parallels with current events in the legal system, it illustrates how the State, the judiciary, the police, and even citizens have the ability to inflict great agony, while the majority can only watch in silence because they are compelled to think that it is being done for the greater good.
