The entire effort uplifted this wholesome masterpiece. How oppression strikes a set of peoples is the plot. With that plot,maari selvaraj writing for the screenplay and dialogues is perfectly splendid. Simple story with perfect output of music,art,dop,cinematography. All the actors gives their 100%. Each and every scenes elevation will haunt you for sure. How perfectly a team can work.? You will see the answers in Karnan. Highly recommended.
Karnan is a story of a youth who can't tolerate any injustice. This story has been shown in many films but what differs Karnan from other films is it's superb execution by Mari Selvaraj. From the opening song of the movie you'll start to feel goosebumps. The film is too long because it started slowly in the 1st half but it became a gripping tale in the 2nd half and then you can't move your eyes from the screen.
You'll find many Mahabharat references here but fully opposite way. The animals are used for visual storytelling. The music & specially the BGM is superb. Not just Dhanush but the entire cast did a commendable job. Finally, I can't say Karnan a masterpiece but I'm sure you'll have a wonderful experience.

First of all.. congratulations to the entire crew for such an extraordinary work..it was just emotional catharsis throughout.. with the heavy impact by the deities. Mari exposes us to a different world altogether..he seems to be the artist who will define tamil cinemas next-generation.
As Usual Mr. D Dhanush Sir Nailed to the Core. Each one of the cast and crew members had given their Best. Mari Selvaraj another Gem for Kollywood. Not a Commercial Content But Worked Well for Experimental Content. Worth to Watch.
