Vadamalaiyan (Yogi Babu) is cynical at first but realizes Karnan's stance was right all along. Draupadi (Rajisha) loves Karnan to the core, and also stands by him during difficult times. Karnan's sister is both proud and worried about her brother's revolutionary deeds. The village leader refuses to remove the scarf wrapped around his head when a vicious police officer (played by Nataraja Subramanian) demands him to - a move that is seen as servile by upper castes. Yeman, played by a superbly effective Lal, is Karnan's pacifist grandpa who stands against the troubles faced by his fellow villagers but also worries about Karnan's well-being. Even with a host of characters surrounding Karnan, each of them manages to leave a solid mark performance-wise. He doesn't shy away from showcasing the dark nature of the plot and the subsequent gut-wrenching violence in all its glory. In Karnan, Mari's writing actually gets better. If Pariyerum Perumal (Mari's debut flick) can be considered a more subdued attempt, Karnan goes all out in its craft, visual allegories, and (political) messaging. Mari Selvaraj makes a bold, powerful statement on caste-based oppression with Karnan - the titular role being played to spectacular effect by Dhanush.

Yes he is that GREAT! Karnan deserves your watch like you owed it to them and it's like you'll be doing favour for yourself. I would be laughing on the standard of all prestigious awards if this man doesn't get Best Director Award. Selvaraj has done such a great job that i can't tell in words. Even the action scenes have A Grade execution which is rare for South films. Screenplay, Dialogues, Cinematography everything hits the high bar. Dhanush acts like he's one of those villager who have endiree this torture for years. It's a soul-stirring fight against the entire system of those suppressed people who have been overlooked by the upper caste people and government for years. Karnan, a fearless village youth, must fight for the rights of the conservative people of his village, due to the torture given by a police officer. If you have seen that film then you know how big this compliment is for Karnan. Comparatively, Karnan is better than Pariyerum Perumal. With Karnan, Dhanush porves his intelligent choice of scripts again and director Mari Selvaraj gets his second consecutive Classic after Pariyerum Perumal. But there are some films which have that cinematic sense which we look for and stars like Dhanush are one of those countable stars who understand this.

A chunk of Smart Movie Buffs and Art Lovers always complaint about B grade action in South films and their illogical entertainers, i happened to be one of them too. This is how you make a Cult Film with Massy elements.

That aggresive climax which was missing in Dhanush's Asuran has been found here in Karnan. What Asuran Missed, Karnan has got it alright.
