Maan Karate movie review: what critics say (8)
What critics say Critics are divided: 0 of 8 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 1 gave it 2 or less.
The storyline is good but the execution could have been a lot better. Thirukumaran’s inexperience in handling a goodstory is visible in his screenplay.
Read the full reviewMaking use of AR.Murugadoss story, Thirukumaran could have worked harder on the screenplay to bring out a convincing product.
Read the full reviewMaan Karate is a watchable fantasy entertainer. In many ways, it is a typical formula film that sticks to hero image template. There is nothing new in this fantasy story, which is hard to digest.
Read the full reviewIt is difficult not to wonder what the heck the writing team must be smoking when they came up with this story?
Read the full reviewThe movie might be the commercial cinema that we want, but falls flat on a lot of aspects. Taking sport as theme the screenplay takes a toss with the second half of boxing matches making you scratchy.
Maan Karate combines elements like fantasy and the regular brand of commercial entertainment in true Siva Karthikeyan style. We also have the sporting angle with Siva being the quintessential underdog taking on a mighty champion.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
