Maan Karate by Thirukumaran (Review)



















***********Spoiler Alert****************************

Story:A story with half utopia and half masala. How fantasy was related to sports event, all well narrated in this movie. A.R.Murugadoss has creative mind when it comes to story. Filled with Comedy, Romance, Drama, Fantasy and Adrenaline Rush. The movie had a solid script with good dialogues as well. But the director could not deliver what exactly in the story.

Cast: Sivakarthikeyan as Royapuram or Maan Karate Peter. He improved a lot as an actor. Good sense of humour and he really improved in dance. But I personally feel he could have worked harder to prepare himself as an instant boxer and make some homework on it. He was unbeatable when it comes to comedy but the boxing setting was not compatible with him. Hansika as Yaazhini, Peter's love. She was just another girl next door and didn't do much anyway but bringing the song . I don't know when tamil cinema going to skip doing that, putting song in every heroine scene. There was 5 core character in this movie which was driving the story. One among the 5 was Satish as Sandy. He is a better comedian compared to many. Vamsi Krishna played Peter the killer. He really has that badass look. He did his  role very well with his boxer body language. Soori did a guest appearance as Tiger Tyson. And a few supporting characters played by Sayaji Shinde and many new artist.

Screenplay: The movie started well with some supernatural features. And it was brought up good up to first half then it started to get draggy. Surprisingly, Siva was given an Intro song like big stars and it was quite well choreographed. But when it comes to song transitions it was a bit not aligned. The songs simply comes when Hansika and Siva is together. And the boxing setting could have done with more momentum. It was an entertaining movie until the boxing ignited. Could have shown a lot more on boxing rather than Siva and Hansika's love. And Siva's boxing match was poorly choreographed, it was more like Tom and Jerry jokes between Siva and Soori. And Siva's transformation could have been done like Ethir Neechal. Lot more visuals on training could have been added. Final fight scene was ok but less logic, because a non boxer fighting a professional boxer and he was sustaining the hit like a boxer. Title fits good with the movie but could have shown more of Siva's agility. But good thing about the  movie it will definitely make you laugh with Siva and Satish instant comedies. And scenes involving Hansika's supportive nature was touching anyway.

Music: The songs by Anirudh are already chartbuster and it was well choreographed especially un vizhigalil song.

Plus Point: Story, Cast and Comedy.


Minus Point: Second half, Boxing Setup,Song transitions and Lengthy


Verdict: A very creative story done in average manner. Could have pumped in more adrenalin rush. Can be watched in Cinema
