Adding to the celebration, ace filmmaker Shankar joined the chorus of appreciation by sharing his thoughts on social media. In his post, Shankar called Madharaasi “an engaging commercial entertainer with many enjoyable theatrical moments,” while lauding Murugadoss for blending the crime and love tracks seamlessly. He further praised Sivakarthikeyan’s unique characterisation, noting how the star balanced emotional depth with his action-hero persona. The director also highlighted Anirudh’s energetic background score, which elevated the intensity, and Vidyut Jammwal’s stylish screen presence that left audiences wanting more.

With positive reviews pouring in and screens witnessing packed shows, Madharaasi has set the stage for an impressive weekend run. For Sivakarthikeyan and Murugadoss, the film marks another high point in their collaboration, and early trends suggest it is well on course to becoming one of the season’s big commercial successes.
