Maaveeran (transl. The Great Warrior) is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language superhero film written and directed by Madonne Ashwin and produced by Arun Viswa. The film stars Sivakarthikeyan and Aditi Shankar, while Saritha, Mysskin, Monisha Blessy, Yogi Babu and Sunil play supporting roles.
After a head injury, cowardly newspaper cartoonist Sathya hears a voice in his mind, foretells events and puts him in precarious situations and forces him to take on a corrupt politician. Maaveeran was announced in July 2022. Principal photography began the following August and wrapped in June 2023. The film was released on 14 July 2023. It received positive reviews from critics and became a commercial success, grossing ₹89 crore in its theatrical run.
Sathya is a talented comic book artist who undermines his worth by allowing someone to utilise his sketches for the comic strip Maaveeran in a weekly newspaper, without asserting his right to compensation or confronting the exploiter. Nila, a sub-editor at the paper, takes a stand on Sathya’s behalf, securing him the same job that he was being exploited. Sathya and his neighbours, who were previously residing in a slum, are compelled to relocate to a multi-story apartment as part of a government scheme aimed at improving living conditions. However, the situation takes a turn for the worse when the apartment’s structural flaws become apparent, causing the walls to crumble due to an unstable foundation. The substandard construction renders the apartment uninhabitable, thus leaving its residents with no alternative options.
Amidst these challenges, Sathya’s mother Eshwari stands up against the contractor, refusing to accept the unacceptable conditions. Sathya implores his mother to “adjust” to their new circumstances and channels his difficulties into creating content for Maaveeran. After realizing that his mother regards him as incapable of leading a dignified life, Sathya attempts to end his own life which results in an unsuccessful attempt that leaves him with a head injury, where he soon begins to experience the presence of a mysterious voice. The newfound voice takes precedence over his actions, compelling Sathya to follow its suggestions when making decisions in his life, ranging from trivial matters to significant choices. After getting increasingly guided by the voice, Sathya becomes entangled in conflicts with a minister named Jeyakodi, who orchestrated the slum dwellers’ relocation to bolster his political career and reputation.
