One scene that I loved most and felt so light is Lal taking a 10/- and offering a kiss in return to the old lady. Beautiful scene!

[JaishreeCIyer]

The villager who considers helping an old bedridden lady to answer nature’s call more important than fetching a chair for the police officer ...
And the same lady wetting her bed when the war is on - excellent touches

You know baddy loves a movie when his review is more than 15min long.

I just completed watching Karnan yesterday and I noticed the following things:
1. According to Mahabharat, Draupadi rejected Karan and insulted him when he wanted to participate in her swayamvar. But in Karnan, the girl Draupadi likes Karnan and he doesn't even notice that in the beginning.
2. The police officer is beating up people from Karnan's village in front of Babasaheb Ambedkar's picture. It might be done to show the hypocrisy of the society. A police station is respecting a lower caste person but disrespecting other lower caste people at the same time. The other interpretation can be the disrespect faced by Babasaheb himself in his struggle.
3. Karnan is having a sword and rides horse. Here there can be multiple interpretations. The first is lower caste people aren't allowed to carry a sword and ride horse but Karnan is doing it. The second reason can be connected to Mahabharat. In Mahabharat, Karan's adopted father was a horse rider.
4. When Karnan and others destroy the police station, Babasaheb's picture is shown again. They are fighting back against the system the way Babasaheb did.
5. A donkey is tied in the beginning of the movie. Karnan notices this but is advised not to free him. The donkey is Karnan's anger against the injustice. Karnan frees the donkey and unleashes his anger at the same time. The donkey and Karnan both feel free.
All these are my opinions only. They might be right or wrong.

8:21 At first his father refuses him from going back. But after sometime when Karnan anyway decides to go back we get to see his father stopping Karnan and giving him the sword and making sure that he doesn't go into the war unarmed.

Just after this particular moment we get to see Karnan's father sitting there smiling and watch Karnan go. And he then turns back to his daughter (coming from the water)with the same smile. His daughter claps at him.
I think it's actually his daughter who changed his mind from restraining Karnan. Thus the father looks back at her telling her that he had done what she told him to do and the daughter is applauding her father's act.
So, for me this scene justifies the earlier scene which shows the connection between Karnan's father and his sister.

Vada chennai, asuran, and now karnan 🔥🔥🔥🔥 only dhanush

[kiransp]

The duration of this review itself tells so much about the movie.

[prakashraj]

Oppressed people will strive for Equality and Justice through Art forms. It's just the beginning..❤️🔥🔥

[vishalms]

When the girl with the mask was clapping in the I thought lal's character would also appear with mask beside the That would have again be a goosebump moment!!

[HariKrishna-lkwx]

its high time dhanush release movies in all languages like a pan india one
I feel he has got that popularity and has grown higher than petrol prices in Lockdown period along with VJS

[rithinnandrew]

I strongly disagree with the fact that Rangan puts forth with his statement that the love portion with Rajisha Vijayan is unwanted and could have been flushed down. Without the love track, the character of Karnan would have had scenes that only show his anger and angst and we as the audience couldn't have connected with him. The whole climax wouldn't have been hard hitting as much if we didn't connect with the main character. Otherwise, the review is awesome as always. And Rajisha Vijayan's performance was good too.

[jaykk]

I think we need directors cut version. We don't know how many scenes has been cut

கண்ணபிரான் தனக்கு நிகர் இல்லா ஒருவனிடம் தோல்வியுற்றதை நினைத்து மண் புழக்கலை எடுத்து மீன் பிடிக்க. கர்ணன் தண்ணீர்ல இறங்கி வால் எடுக்க யுத்தம் தொடங்கியது.

படத்தல நிறைய decode பன்னும் போல 😳

Whatever Karnan missed in Mahabarata because he is from oppressed caste was given here in this movie by Mariselvaraj to karnan like loving Mom, lover Draupathi and mentor(lal) how clever portraying this

[venisto]

omg i am a keralite yet i was crying with the emotions of the people..such an epic movie..vere level padam..mari selvaraj hats off...santosh musical uff touching...gem of a movie..national award loading!!

[RATHINA.]

Actually those Draupathy(Heroine)scenes there because in real karnan they both won't even touch each other that's why mari selvaraj wants to rewrite it and make them close

[sknandiphy]

Karn can win Draupadi swayamvar but he was not allowed to do it. He was also not allowed to be taught by Druna but here he got finally a chance to be an army person. The movie tries to overcome Karn's suffereings of Mahabharata. The boy who takes care of the horse never rides it. It is the representation of Mahabarata (sudra).

[nonpartisanrealist]

This is the baddy that initially I got drawn to.. right from his days of print review in The Hindu.. I felt off late he was going too mainstream and doing too many interviews.. stuff like this is gold standard of reviewing a film

[sachinunakal]

The length of the review says so much about brilliance of the #Karnan. #MariSelvaraj and #Dhanush are on fire.

[MrNo-dcwp]

Just finished watching the movie. Ngl. This is the best movie from our Tamil Cinema since Soorarai Pottru. Karnan was an intense, violent, haunting yet powerful film made by Mari Selvaraj and Performed by Dhanush. First Applause to Mari Selvaraj for taking such a Hard Hitting subject. He created an imaginary world and allowed us to roam with his characters. Karnan and his villagers doesn't even looks or sounds like actors, as they were filmed in such a lively method by DOP Theni Eswar. Dhanush literally carried the whole movie with his eyes, shoulders, Hand, Legs etc. Dude was just more than an actor. Santhosh Narayanan was the Back Bone. He composed a BGM which was both smooth and haunting at the same time. The Bloodshed in Fight scenes was spine chilling. Props to those make up artists.
Please go and watch the movie only in theatres wearing mask.✌❤
