A Masterpiece From Tamil Nadu That Will Leave You In Tears | Karnan Review | Dhanush, Mari Selvaraj 

Pariyerum perumal had a submissive hero, karnan has a aggressive hero...

I wouldn't necessarily say he's submissive. At the climax, he's still pari still has the moral high ground. His character was innately innocent until he faced castism, and pari itself is "comparatively" better previlige to have education avenues. While in karnan even the mere existence is opposed

@@yesh8340 why i said pari submissive is due to the fact that he surpassed the urine scene at that instance, karnan would have faught them right there itself...

@@rajashekar7893 I don't think that's being submissive, he's helpless and innocent is more of a right word. Submissive means he's conforming to the authority. But pari doesn't conform, he rebels, but just in his own way, through education, because he saw through principal of the college what education can bring to dalit. That becomes the point of infliction in him, untill then he also shows his anger towards everyone, becomes agressive towards his bullies in college, even to Jo. But once he sees through his principal it changes him.

@@yesh8340 yeah he was helpless and moved away silently felt himself inferior untill he brings his true father (that feel of inferiority is form of passivity) after that scene he knows his responsibility as a student and also not willing to give up his self respect but karnan wouldn't have moved away silently in the first itself which u can see in kabadi scene too...

@@byethere not waiting for that at all I can't tolerate sara and akshay even if the film has dhanush I'd rather re watch his old movies

@@byethere his next movie is jagame thandiram and it is releasing directly on netflix

@@byethere same here Dhanush and ar rahman are the only reason i am waiting for atrangi ra

@@ani-po1td yahh I'm excited for that one I hope it's good fingers crossed🤞🤞

Yes better than chiyaan vikram

Like hollywood actors like Leo, bale others do

This movies is telling the plain truth that the Mahabharat and Ramayan actually took place in Tamil Nadu. The Sanskrit version over exaggerates the incident and manipulates some truths. Karnan is actually a goat, yes you heard me right he's a goat. A goat which has kundals in its ears. You can search in Google images. The Pandavs were actually the Pandya dynasty of Tamils. And Kauravas were the kuravas of Kerala. And krishna existed between Tamil Nadu and Kerala and acted as a middle man, trying to convince both the dynasties. More truth is coming people.

@@StarkEdits11 I m a Tamilan...Karnan movie is not about Mahabharata its about caste supremacy ...don't blah blah...definitely u r not Tamilan....

He has been instructed to be so. He has very big future. His real colour will come after that. He will be the real villain at that stage.

I literally had tears when elders were brutally beaten in police station. And then I rejoiced with so many emotions when Karnan took revenge. Dhanush is so perfect for this role. Periodt

Try 'Pariyerum Perumal'

நாடார் ,😏

thats a nice observation, I never thought of it.

Sangam period diction.

I think most were biased when they saw trailer But his acting in that movie actually changed views of many people I knew him before his raanjhanaa so i was not that surprised but many around me who dissed him before actually appreciated his craft I hope people do look past shammy glammy and complement true talent

Majority of North Indians are very racist, I being a North Indian know this.... And Indians cry when they face racism outside the country... See Bollywood for ex, name 1 dark skin lead actress? Actor? ( Apart from Vicky Kaushal)... SSR was one, and he was mocked as a rickshawpuller by many in the industry.

@@amreshsharma3064 in india, it's more colorism, than racism. But i get your point. Btw, statistically, india is known as the most racist country in the world.

@Kml Shrma yeah add Deepika Padukone also, but they are dark skin behind the screen, movie me to bc Katrina Kaif se jyada gore ho jate hain inlog.... Watch an interview of Nandita Das( Bollywood actress), you can find it in RU-vid, She is of dark skin, she was forced to wear makeup to look fair, to appear mainstream enough, she even revealed that she got roles of maid and village girl, a lot due to her dark skin( The filmmakers thought she can't represent a City girl due to her dark skin) despite being one the most beautiful actress ever , to come in Indian film industry....

wtf .. I never saw single guy from North said that... please stop generalized people Rajhanna was loved movie and even today many like it. Dhunush was already famous in north when did Rajhanna movie.

Thanks for heart bro

@The commentarr • Pattas was quite decent though 😅

@The commentarr • he does both kind of movies entertainers like Maari, Pattas and much based on content like VadaChennai Karnan He has come very long way, his face appeal has very large audience no doubt he'll be glorified as international star soon

@The commentarr • he makes some shitty choices in terms of commercial movies, mainly because he wants to get out of a serious character and get all loose with a jolly fun type one

@@conservativeliberal6777 Np !

Karnan from Mahabharata, the great warrior and archer born to a queen yet abandoned by her. He is raised amongst suta (Charioteer caste). He still has the ambition to learn archery which is denied to him. He doesn't give up and lies to Parshurama about his identity and learns Dhanurveda and all other scriptures at prodigious speed. The sad event starts happening now as he is cursed twice, once for lying about his caste as lord Parshuram finds it out due to Indrac's trickery and once he is cursed by another rishi for mistakenly killing his calf. Both these curses is what becomes the reason for Karna's ultimate demise. He then goes to Hastinapur and shows his skill in the exhibition meant for princes and let's everyone know his intention to fight Arjun, his arch rival who is another famous archer and is expecially known for being son of king of gods Indra. But Karna is stopped and his lineage is questioned, Bhima even abuses his entire caste for daring to oppose the princes instead of driving chariots after he recognised Karna's foster father charioteer Adiratha. Duryodhan uses the opportunity to recruit the formidable warrior at his side against Pandavas and shuts Bhima up by asking Bhima to challenge great warriors on the battlefield instead of badmouthing their caste and makes Karna the king of Anga thus making him an equal. Karna is so overwhelmed that he pledges his loyalty to Duryodhana and goes onto win the entire world for his sake in his famous digvijaya (conquering four directions). Karna is also known for his charitable nature, he was an ardent lord Surya's devotee and would worship the lord from dawn until noon and wouldn't Deny anything to anyone during that time especially, he was known for his love of giving which is once again is exploited by Indra the father of Arjun who comes in a disguise and begs Karna for his divine kavach kundal attached to his body that made him invincible. Karna knows the identity of who has come yet true to his words he slices off the armour and gives it to the king of gods. Finally the day of war has come, Karna is already demoralised as Krishna and Kunti try to persuade him to change sides and reveal that he is Pandavas elder brother. Yet the great Karna doesn't accept their proposal. Krishna even offers him entire world to rule and Draupadi as his wife but he denies for his friendship and loyalty. Duryodhan gave him recognition when the society was against him. He also denies to be called Kunti's son and wants the world to call him Radheya after his foster mother Radha from Suta's caste. So Karna thus fights from Kauravas side but Kunti manages to score a boon from the Daanveera that her 4 sons would be spared as she knows Arjun can't be killed with Krishna as his protection. Karna fights beautifully for days sending Lacs of Pandava warriors to yama's abode, he does as he has said and spares 4 Pandava brothers. Finally he faces off with Arjuna on 17th day. Karna is having the upper hand as expected since Krishna has already saved Arjuna twice from certain death but the curses of Karna activate and the great warrior's chariot wheel gets stuck on the ground rendering him immobile. His second curse is to forget his knowledge of Dhanurveda thus the supreme warrior who rose from a humble background is killed in an unfair manner as he is trying to take out his chariot wheel and distracted. It's said that all the people from heaven and earth cried aloud when the great and righteous Karna with Dharma in his soul was killed.

@Devil In hell you can find a lot of actors but its too hard to find a superstar like dhanush who is ready to do a laid back role just to provide a contentful film like this and also asuran.

@Devil In hell I mean most of the cast are tamil and mallu...which shows the talent pool and you need to be supremely good to even be in front of the screen. No offense to other regional films but their talent pool just stands out.

@Devil In hell name an actor who can play a role of father of 20 years old guy and as a 20 years old guy, who can give quality love film like moonu(3), just a clean shave he can look like a school student and with a trimmed beard he acted like an old man...

You missed out Chiyaan Vikram.

@Devil In hell He says Tamil and malayalam films are more content driven compared to other industries. Well Mollywood is fully content driven, in Kollywood you can find find bothcontent driven films and hero driven films equally.

@@Thisispri 😂😂 what is your point!? Your point is as weak as your English unfortunately. Listen brother, a set doesn't become great just because the movie is good or about social issue concept. It's an art and artistic vision. Hence irrespective of what concept the movie talks about, it's just a set. Nothing like before? Well you haven't seen movies where village sets have been done. Point is, you highlighting 'whole' as something like never before is ridiculous! Your love for movie shouldn't hype a set which is required for a movie and is very simple to lay such sets given the budget also shouldn't disrespect other movies, commercial or otherwise!

I am from North India just watched the movie and loved it , but I don't understand this dialogue , care to explain please .

@@lovepreetsoni5552 he's refering to the final scene between Dhanush's character and the IPS officer, where the former refers to their respective names with regard to their fathers'

@@lovepreetsoni5552 Like in other parts of India, there are certain names that generally being used in villages, specially from oppressed castes (although it doesn't always). Although 'Samy' literally means 'God', the prefixes actually carry the weightage. 'Karuppa-Samy' (literally mean Black God, originally represents the local deity) is very common and so is Maadasamy, another local diety, and the list continues. In this setting, these is considered 'names of poor / lower', while 'Karnan' is considered as 'Decent' (that represents something higher). Hero's dialogue meant to say, when Kandaiah's (lower name, as Iaiya- also sounds Ayya that means Sir) son can have a bettername as 'Kanna Bhiran' (lord Krishna), there is no problem. But when hero's father Madasamy (considered lower) name his son as 'Karnan' (cosidered decent), you have a problem". I am not sure whether I confused you, but I hope you got the gist of what they are trying to convey. This is my understanding on the dialogue, and open to interpretation.
