A woman enters a contest to watch a horror movie alone in a theater. The horror movie itself is placed parallel to the plot with the woman and they converge towards the end.It is a needlessly intricate Tamil horror film. I am not aware of too many horror films from that language. The first half was intriguing but the film falls apart in the second half. The action scene towards the end went on and on. The sentimental crap involving Nayanthara's kid was unbearable. And lots of name dropping of classic horror films. The director even uses the done to death ropey haired ghost girl in a nightie trope. Jeez! Nayanthara is pretty as a damsel in distress. The rest of the cast was unremarkable.Most horror movies are 90 minutes long. You can make longer ones if your name is Stanley Kubrick or William Freidkin. Ashwin Narayanan isn't allowed this luxury. Got it? And why the hell was there a prolonged action scene near the end? Did this Narayanan person think he was making Thevar Magan or something? That was really tiring.The other reviews suggest that most Indians don't watch world class horror movies. Please watch them before reviewing Indian horror movies. It is so grossly overrated.

This is probably the best horror movie I have ever watched.Maya is even comparable to the Hollywood blockbuster "The Conjuring".It deserves such greatness.I really congratulate all the team,cast and crew of the movie.The story is very well built and organized and it is been shot so well in realistic places .The music part played a great role to make the audience feel the presence of a ghost.I really appreciate the captain of the ship,director for his efforts to make such a brilliant movie.And last but not least i guess Kollywood is competing with Hollywood by making such grandeur films.I am feeling proud to be a Indian

The opening shots, grippy editing and camera handling makes this movie to stand out from the other so called ghost thrillers that are being made in Thamizh cinema. As soon as the movie began, the plot was very clearly presented to us and so the intention of the director.The detailing is very good as it provides everything in the first half but we are left clueless about what they are relating to actually. We can get the clear view only in the second half. The acting of the lead characters are very crucial in this movie and they did their part very well. BGM and editing deserves special mention as they made this very gripping. Nayanthara did her part very well.Overall, it is a very well made thriller which deserves our attention. Must watch in theaters.

This is the best horror movie ever I have seen and this movie is like a Hollywood movie. You have to travel with the movie otherwise you will not understand. Cinematographer Satyan Sooryan has done a great job and big kudos to music director.Director Ashwin narrated the story very well. He proved he was a technical guy. Finally Nayanthara has given her mass performance for this movie. In the same month she given her best acting in Thani Oruvan now in Maya. And the hero of the film Aari proved that he is a talented actor also Lakshmi Priya done her great job. Thoonga Kangal lyrics is really awesome, it was giving the feel like an affection of a mother.I think this is very first time a horror movie came in Tamil without comedy and dances. Once again Kudos to the team..
