Karnan Movie Review

The violence that permeates the lives of Dalits and the people of marginalised communities is undeniable.

Karnan might seem like a familiar tale of struggle between the oppressed and oppressor, but Mari Selvaraj's detailing makes the film feel both unique and universal at the same time.

That Mari Selvaraj is as a director and script-writer to watch keenly is unmistakable.

Director Mari Selvaraj's Karnan is a revolutionary, unlike Pariyerum Perumal, he doesn't take insults lying down. Karnan is fearless and he hits back when needed much to our satisfaction.

Mari Selvaraj’s follow-up to ‘Pariyerum Perumal’ is even more assertive, even more aggressive, and twice as painful to watch and introspect

Three years ago, when I wrote about Kaala, a lot of people, including some of my friends and Rajinikanth admirers felt the film was a letdown and had nothing important to offer.
