#Maaman First Half So Entertaining & Emotional First 45 mins was super entertaining and filled with Fun moments after that moves towards emotional phase#Soori stands tall with his excellent performance Super engaging screenplay with emotions connect at most of places pic.twitter.com/M4E2akE3z4 Friday Facts (@fridayfacts_) May 16, 2025

Meanwhile, Friday Facts described the first half of Maaman as “entertaining and emotional,” noting that the screenplay was engaging and connected with the audience at several emotional points. They especially praised Soori’s performance as standing tall with confidence and skill.

However, not all reviews were glowing. Hashtag Cinema offered a contrarian view, calling both Maaman and another film “average,” and advised audiences to “wait for OTT” rather than watching in theaters. Despite this, such views remained in the minority.

Aishwarya Lekshmi’s performance also earned special mentions from multiple users, with many saying her presence, along with Swasika’s sincerity, added richness to the emotional layers of the story.
