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.
You might think these two movies are of same themes. Ultimately as we all know, Asuran was an effort to make a commercial movie set in rural background and for that you really need to pitch the title of whos hero, villain and other roles. While karnan, was ultimately a tale of oppression of a village with dhanush being an influence towards change. Mari Selvaraj has absolutely
Executed without a typical template of potraying a hero centric movie or even defining whos the villain here (The evil is the mind, was well shown with Natty playing the role of the police) Those references of Eagles, Donkeys and Dogs were beautifully explained.
Ultimately, Karnan has very blended with the mythological themes of mahabharatha, with silouhette shots against the sun and many more. Definitely, its a tale that would last for generations, with powerful storytelling and visuals, without hurting any sentiments of any particulars.
P. S;- These are some movies that even tarantino cant make it in hollywood. So go give a watch!

As usual dhanush acting at his best and rest of the other actors were brilliant.. mari selvaraj cleverly plays with an emotion of audience... bit slow in screenplay however movie has multiple mass scenes which surpasses it...great bgm and camera work , art work everything was upto the level.. watch on theaters have a blast...#stay_safe.
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.
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.
