Sivakarthikeyan's first big film of 2023, Maaveeran, has released in theatres worldwide today (July 14) and the early reactions for the fantasy action drama on Twitter are now out. Directed by Mandela fame Madonne Ashwin under Arun Viswa's Shanthi Talkies banner and released across Tamil Nadu by Red Giant Movies, the film has taken a solid start at the box office, with the first audience response turning out to be largely positive. Maaveeran sees Sivakarthikeyan sharing screen space with Viruman heroine Aditi Shankar, Mysskin, Saritha, Suneel, Yogi Babu, among others, and features songs and a background score composed by Bharath Sankar.
With Sivakarthikeyan essaying the role of a cartoonist, who gets into a conflict with a politician played by Mysskin, Maaveeran takes a turn when a fantasy element is introduced, as per fans on social media, who are singing praises for the team for delivering a well-packaged theatre entertainer. With the Maaveeran first-day first show now over, several fans have taken to Twitter to talk about their latest movie-watching experience, while also sharing their opinions on the factors that have favored the film. Below are some Maaveeran Twitter reviews:
#Maaveeran takes some time to set the strong premise. Barring some lag scenes and a clichéd climax, it is one of SK's best films, excelling in humor and slick action sequences.

#Maaveeran is a one of a kind film in KW. The film is treated like a superhero origin story and it works fantastically. All technicians delivered and the supporting cast is awesome. Finally the man of the hour, @Siva_Kartikeyan delivers his best performance yet. #MaaveeranFDFS
