He also does not like the fact that the men in the village do not bow in front of him and instead look him in the eye. A high-level cop’s pride gets hurt when the village head refuses to remove the turban around his head. The heavy emotions that the opening scene evokes in you will only grow stronger as you come to see how a community of people is dehumanised. Like a street dog, she is left alone on the road as if her young life has no value. This deity could be a symbol of a god, a superior power, or justice, whose face is superimposed on the victim. The girl transforms into a deity after her death. I am led to believe that Selvaraj wanted to tell his audience that the face of the girl doesn’t matter because this could be a story of anyone who has been oppressed but has suffered silently. As she lies there quietly, you can see the indifference of society. No bus or any other vehicle stops to carry her to the hospital and she stops breathing after a while.
The movie starts with a scene of a 10-year-old girl who is lying in the middle of a road struggling for life. The protagonist of the film, the eponymous Karnan (starring Dhanush), is a rebel with a cause and Selvaraj has drawn on his personal experiences to shape this film thus making it even more breathtaking. Karnan is a story of a man determined to break the chains of caste discrimination, and, in this film, Selvaraj gives us a feast of performances loaded with powerful dialogues.
Director Mari Selvaraj (L) and actor Rajisha Vijayan (R)Īfter the powerful 2018 debut film Pariyerum Perumal, Tamil writer-director Mari Selvaraj has returned with another brilliant film- Karnan.
