    Sivakarthikeyan finally comes of age!

    Maan Karate is a comedy, barring the last 30 mins of so when it becomes serious. Until then its a laugh riot - let it be the main star, Sathish, Suri or the other co-stars. Lots of laughter in the cinema throughout.
    It is playing in two halls in Summit...!!! And both were packed for Sat afternoon show.

    Sivakarthikeyan gets an intro complete with a song
    Film starts in a mysterious manner, so typical of ARM, who wrote the story. The director Thirukumaran plays on Sivakarthikeyan's strength with excellent results.
    Everyone performs well.... Anirudh's BGM is good but his songs are speed breakers. I liked the last song which sounded like Deva, with Anirudh himself coming in cameo. But he looks like baby with bottle.

    Sivakarthikeyan has come a long way since Ethirneechal days.
    Although, its similar to a hundred earlier sports movies, it is fun.
    Go for it.
    Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!

    Maan Karate - vettaiyadu vilayadu

    Average movie TBH. I had higher expectations because of the cast and technical crew. The major dissapointment is story and screenplay. ARM and director thirukumaran (debut) dissapoints. Its in the tamil DNA to be sceptic, esp about fantasy related movies in tamil.

    The questionmark whether Sivakarthikyan can do other things than comedy remains unanswered after this movie. On the plus side he has improved a lot in dance. Hansika is loveinterest of the hero and has got minimal scope to act. Vamsi played his part ok, he was only hired in the movie to get beaten up in boxing ring for this movie, he was much better in Ivan Vera Mathiri.

    Comedy is ok, Sivakarthikyans mimicry is always good, arunpandian his sidekick from Vijay TV (Kalakka Povathu Yaaru) didnt impress on big screen. Soori, is one of the highlight of the movie, he may just appear in 10 mins, but still his cameo is good.

    Major highlight is BGM and songs by Anirudh. Royapuram peter song was bad, the other 4 were good. BGm during climax is unusual: two boxers dancing on the ring to sitar sounds, its brilliant.

    Director Thirukumaran's (or Thirumurugan like Ramya from Vijay TV called him) career after this movie?
    God bless all

    Maan Karate is a watchable fantasy entertainer. It is a good fun ride with Sivakarthikeyan in his elements and he holds the film together along with fabulous music and BGM by Anirudh and eye catching camera work by Sukumar.
    The film is tailor made as a summer holiday special for Sivakarthikeyan’s audiences, who like to have a fun time at the movies. It is a film that will have you laughing, rooting for the hero and ultimately you leave the hall with a smile.
    Here's a film where you have its every thrilling feature exaggerated in melodramatic detail – a boy-next-door, a glamorous, fair (?) girl falling for the hero in no time, rich production values, peppy dream songs at regular intervals, and the underdog triumphing in the end.
    Four IT professionals who are on an outdoor trip meet a hermit inside a jungle (!!) who predicts the future by giving them a leading Tamil newspaper which is going to be printed four months later!
    Going by the news in the daily, they track down Peter (Sivakarthikeyan) a normal middle-class guy who is supposed to win Rs 2 crore in the Tamilnadu boxing championship after four months and sign an agreement.
    Peter who doesn’t know anything about boxing is sponsored by these people who train him for the match. Meanwhile, Peter meets Yazhini (Hansika) in a mall and it is instant love for him and in lighting speed she reciprocates. After all the fun and duets it’s time for the climax, a long drawn-out boxing match. Maan Karate Peter has to defeat the menacing Killer Peter(Vamsi) in the finals.
    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. But director Thirukumaran’s idea is simple- provide a packaged entertainer where audiences should not ask questions and suspend disbelief. The interval block is one of the highlights of the film.
    At the centre of all mirth is Sivakarthikeyan. His comic timing and ability to mock and lampoon conventional notions of macho heroism makes it a knockout performance. Hansika is immensely likeable as Yazhini. She looks charming, light s up the screen with her cute expressions and her costumes are perfect. It’s a pure delight to watch her, especially in the songs. Satish and Soori in a cameo as a boxing referee provide additional laughter. Vamsi as the boxing champion is menacing.
    Technically, the film has many brownie points. Anirudh’s songs are a treat and are picturised in a glossy manner like a music video. ‘Un Vizhigalil’ and ‘Maanja’ are the pick of the lot. Cameraman Sukumar’s lighting makes it visually stunning. Editor Sreekar Prasad has made it like a typical mass entertainer.
    Minuses? The story and setting is unbelievable and there is a sense of dj vu as it unfolds. The way a boxing tournament is conducted is not presented in the right manner. It has a racy first half but starts plodding in the second half.
    On the whole, a perfect summer outing with your family.
    Verdict: A rollicking ride
