One of the all time great Tamil Classics with a fantastic star cast, great acting and superb songs.
The movie is about one of the most controversial and much debated character Karnan, of the Great Indian Epic, the Mahabaratha.
Thespian actor Sivaji Ganesan as Karnan sparkles in this role. Sivaji perfectly portrays the despair of Karnan who does not know the secret of his birth, revels in the friendship of Duryodhana, and stands firmly alongside his friend even when he knows Duryodhana is wrong. A classical story of loyalty towards his friend and duty even after he knows who his family is.
N.T. Rama Rao's trademark role as Lord Krishna. Its a role he has made his own in so many mythological movies. He carries out the role with great aplomb and panache. I felt that he hijacked the later part of the movie.
