Overview - Written and Directed by Mari Selvaraj, Karnan is a socio and political dramatization featuring Dhanush and Rajisha Vijayan playing the lead jobs while Lal, Yogi Babu, Lakshmipriyaa Chandramouli and others assume essential supporting roles. This is the second film of Mari Selvaraj after Pariyerum Perumal, which was a great success with its social commentary on racial systems.
Karnan opens with a teenage young lady lying on the widely appealing having fits and no passing vehicle halting to help her and she passes away right there. With the guide of a tune a whole town petitions God for the arrival of its legend Karnan who is enduring police mercilessness. The scenes at that point slice to 1997 and we are acquainted with Karnan a youngster who like the others in his town is furious about the mistreatment of the adjoining town men that forestalls even a transport from halting for them which implies the youthful can't read or go outside for work. How this proceeded with persecution and concealment on account of the privileged men upheld by the administration powers this standard man to rouse a disobedience and transform him into the boss of his kin is the thing that 'Karnan' is about.
Beginning at a sluggish speed, Mari Selvaraj has kept a great deal of allegorical discoursed and shots that depict the circumstance of individuals living there and indeed, each one of those analogies help in building the expectation for the last half of the story. Crowds realize that there will be inconvenience in the town eventually, yet don't have a clue when. Every one of these allegorical shots keep that expectation alive in the crowd's psyche. The pressing factor is developed all through the principal half of the film and the stretch square impeccably sets a roaring beginning for the issues that will happen in the subsequent half. In the second part of the film, individuals of the town endure the result of the episode that occurs before the break block. This piece of the film conveys a ton of chivalrous minutes that make the crowd thunder in energy alongside a couple of passionate scenes that thoroughly help in causing the crowd to get associated with the film.
Director Mari Selvaraj is clear in his goals and understands what he needs to tell. Mari offers a significant and solid expression with Karnan. He addresses different points like mistreatment, caste separation, and the legislative issues behind every single part of life, including the name of an individual. The composing has been first rate and it contacts a decent high in customary stretches. Mari Selvaraj has made another world and the characters in this world are perfectly composed and portrayed. The film could've vacillated at any spot, thinking about its touchy story and the reason, however Mari, with his execution abilities, ensures that Karnan stands tall.
Karnan is one more gem in the crown of Dhanush and he should be praised first for tolerating a film that puts its motivation over his fame. Lakshmi Priya Chandramouli as Karnan's senior sister who takes the roar from every other person with her immaculate depiction of the Tuticorin town young lady and she likewise nails the slang flawlessly. Malayalam star Lal's character in the film has a significant influence all through the film. Rejisha scores in pretty much every scene she shows up. Santhosh Narayanan by and by leaves you puzzling over whether its his songs that help most in the narrating or his background score. Theni Easwar's cinematography makes the falsely made town look so genuine and he switches back and forth between rambling wide shots of the area to minute articulations of the subjects to additional Selvaraj's vision.
Final Word - A film that is both convenient and immortal, Karnan opposes entwining recent developments with historic figures. The film is intense, undeterred, and strikingly significant, it's an absolute necessity watch for all.
