Maradona is an Indian Malayalam-language thriller film directed by debutant Vishnu Narayan[1] and starring Tovino Thomas in the title role.

The film's background score and songs were composed by Sushin Shyam, while the cinematography was performed by Deepak D. Menon and edited by Saiju Sreedharan.

The movie follows the story of a goon for hire, Maradona, a cranky young man who moves to Bangalore to stay with his distant relatives, after accidentally injuring a powerful politician's son.

However, the politician hires a goon named Martin to track down Maradona and his friend Sudhi, who picked up a fight with the man's son, Aravindan, and has lost his memory after the incident.

Maradona watches a story in a news channel in which a man is being severely beaten by a group of goons and identified it was Sudhi.

We also see Ousepachan returning the valuables that were missing from the apartment, revealing that Maradona had faked a robbery for the safety of his loved ones.

The film marks the directorial debut of Vishnu Narayan, who had earlier associated Aashiq Abu, Dileesh Pothen, and Samir Thahir.

[6] Asha Prakash for The Times of India has written that Vishnu Narayan’s Maradona is a movie in which the journey is more interesting than the destination.
