One aspect that particularly stood out to Shankar was the remarkable action sequences scripted and choreographed in the film. He recognized the hard work put in by the entire team, expressing admiration for their efforts.

Maaveeran tells the story of a comic artist Sathya, played by Sivakarthikeyan. Driven by self-preservation, Sathya stays away from standing up to power and those who exploit the weaker sections. However, as fate would have it, he ends up discovering a superhuman power within him, giving him an advantage in the fight for justice.

"Once you buy into the mythology of the movie, Maaveeran provides wholesome entertainment. You don't always need the "the world is under attack" trope to convince a superhero movie," wrote OTTplay's film critic Manoj Kumar R.
