Cast

Production

In June 2019, after the success of the film Kolaigaran (2019), producer G. Dhananjayan announced that he is collaborating with Infiniti Film Ventures to produce a film with the actor Vijay Antony, mentioning that Vijay Milton will be the director of the project.[6][7] Kamal Bohra, D. Lalithaa, B. Pradeep, and Pankaj Bohra bankrolled this venture under the banner Infiniti Film Ventures.[8] Initially, Hansika Motwani[9] and Sri Divya[10][11] were considered to play the female lead in the film before confirming that Megha Akash was going to be the female lead of this film.[12] The filming began around August 2021 after Vijay Milton finished his work for his Kannada directorial debut film Bairagee.[13] In November 2021, it was confirmed that R. Sarathkumar is portraying an important role in this film.[14][15] The crew finished filming the portions of Sarath Kumar on 14 December 2021.[16][17] A few portions of the film were shot in Goa.[18] Major portions of this film were shot in Daman and Diu,[19] and the Daman-Diu schedule was wrapped up on 3 March 2022.[20] In December 2021, the crew announced that Vijayakanth is also to be cast in the film, portraying an important role.[21][22][23] The portions involving Vijayakanth were supposed to be filmed in around March 2022,[24][25] but the actor's health condition made it impossible to include him in the film.[26] The dubbing work began on March 14 with a puja, including crew members.[27] The filming was completed on 16 June 2022.[28][29] In July 2022, actor Nakkhul dubbed for the Kannada actor Pruthvi Ambaar.[30][31]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the film was composed by Vijay Antony, Roy, Hari Dafusia, Vagu Mazan and Achu Rajamani.[32][33]

Reception

Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "a film that fell into the trap of trying to be a testosterone-filled crowd thriller. Even the meta references in the film fail to make an impact and seem to just be included for the claps."[36] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "They often say third time’s the charm, but in the case of Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan, the third instalment in the Salim franchise is no charm but just a lot of harm due to the possibility of a fourth. Now that is a big problem, but then again, it isn’t that bad a thing, right?"[4]

Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan is a lacklustre film that doesn’t have much going for it. The film moves at a good pace thanks to parallel tracks but sadly, there is no cohesive strong, story to talk about."[37] Janani K of India Today rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Mazhai Pidikatha Manithan is yet another bad film in Vijay Antony and Vijay Milton's filmography."[38]

Anusha Sundar of OTTplay gave it one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While the screenplay is fast-apced, the lack of character depth and unreal character arcs may leave you wanting more."[39] Prashanth Vallavan of Cinema Express gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Bizarre directorial choices make this film a chaotic mess".[40]
