Featured reviews
First the movie started with the fun and it was good till the twist for interval. After interval the director had taken the match without logics and finally Peter had won the final because of his love
Positives- Due to SK the movie was so entertaining and fun
Negatives- rather than SK everything was such a holy crap
This movie cannot be seen by the boxing lovers but due to SK it was somehow watchable
For SK:8/10
For the crap storyline :5/10
Totally 6/10
Well what can I say about this brainless script. It would be a cross to bear for the boxing fans/ white collar boxers. I, being a huge fan of Rocky series and of course Raging Bull could not get through the boxing sequences in this movie (eg.. there ain't one good contender for the palooka-protagonist in a boxing tournament). Also there was a heavy inspiration of Chaplin's Boxer movie, yet was not up to the mark.
I must admit that there is still a fair quantity of humor in the script especially in the first half which I did laugh out loud. The comedy at the boxing tournament were also laughable but I felt like the director made the whole tournament as a joke and so the Indian Boxing club. The Climax was horrible with nasty sentiments that totally knocked out the good essence.
My verdict : If you are a classy movie viewer than stone-wall the movie at all costs. If you wanna just have some laughs the n watch it (Don't analyze anything) If you are a school kid and a huge-fan of the actor, you may love it

People Are Writing Caption Best Movie Great Movie It's Completely Waste Of Time Movie Overrated Overacting Unlogical Story Made Joke On Serious Sport In Starting Looks Something Different Bu After 15 Min Of It's Look Like Waste On Time Worst Acting Worst Screenplay And Direction Worst Movie Ever Watched.
Story - How a funny youth turns a professional boxer.
Positives: Some comedy by Siva Karthikeyan, Colorful visual, decent songs by Anirudh, Release under big banner.
Negatives: Except these few +ve all other seems to be huge -ve.
Hansika used only for songs. Soori special appearance doesn't make any sense. Writers tried jump from Fantasy to Sports drama. But story can't withstand all this genre. If this type of movie released before 30yrs, definitely MK would make some good business. Even now this movie made a good opening because of the big banner and not for movie quality.
If I know something about boxing then I could rate only 1 out of 10 star.
Bottom-line: Please make some logic noise, we are not in 1980's.

Sivakarthikeyan's Maan karate has got nothing fresh in the story, romance, comedy and logic.
Plot: It is the usual repeated cliché of Tamil cinema where the hero takes up sport for love and without struggle he wins at last. Here it's an over rated and excess melodrama. The movie has mixed the plot concepts of Rajini's "Baba" and Ravi's "M.Kumaran" and some portions from "Ethir neechal". At last giving as a mixed cinema which fails to engage or entertain. The comedy crackers what we expect from Siva was less in this movie. Towards the end it was dragging and boring.
Cast: Siva as Peter has failed to meet his current over-hyped status and makes us feel like he was better in VPVS, Ethir Neechal and Marina. Hansika Motwani as Yazhini who has considerably lost weight and comes with her new looks as a doll and nothing much to act. The chemistry did not seem to be working as well. Other cast which includes Sathish and his friends were used in the story track considerably. Soori and Shayaji shinde were not used properly and were unnecessary inclusions. Vamsi Krishna as the usual opposite villain boxer looses the match after his years of practice to his opponent who does not even know boxing is sports. Overall it is a below average Rom-Com flick. Watch it if you are die hard Siva fan miss it otherwise.
