    Please make some logic noise, we are not in 1980's

    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.

    Downright pathetic - avoid at all cost

    If I could only give minus stars.

    Absolute mockery of boxing. A man with those legs, with that build will be dead meat before the first round. I know it is supposed to be a brain dead movie, I mean so-called comedy movie, but still ending with the hero winning the tournament is just too much.

    Except for 1 or 2 places where you get a bit of laughs there is not much rib tickling comedy either.

    Siva Karthikeyan's antics don't bring out any laughs at all, at least not for me.

    You will only love\like this if you are a school kid, a deadbeat Siva fan or a grown up numb nut

    Pathetic package of Comedy

    Maan Karate is one of the worst movies that i have seen in recent times. Thanks for the DVD, otherwise i would have died in the theater.

    Maan Karate is a story of care free guy who doesn't know about Boxing (what a pity, he didn't even heard of boxing) becomes a boxer to get his lover.

    This movie is around 3 hours of hell. The acting, story, screenplay everything is dud in the movie. I still didn't understand that how it stormed the box office.

    Siva Karthikeyan as usual do his style of carefree guy who roams in town. He has to change this kind of selection (if he seriously thinks about the acting), otherwise in a couple of years he will be out of the industry. He did somewhat justice to the role, but in some scenes he was too irritating.

    Hansika Motwani: She once again proved that acting is not her field. She is irritating from the introduction scene to the end.. She was really testing my patience. I don't know why she is getting so many movies despite of her poor acting skills and extremely poor dancing skills..

    Anirudh's songs were enjoyable but was actually speed breakers. I think the director used the songs to complete the 150 mins duration. Anirudh's background score was the major highlight of the movie. Songs picturization of the movie was also good in the movie.

    This is thirukumaran's failed attempt as a director.

    I would rate 1 on 5.

    Verdict: Poor show

    Worst Movie Ever

    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.

    Warning: Sportsmen especially Boxer fans Do Not Watch this film ever!

    Siva the hero Peter doesn't know boxing is a 'sport' and has no interest in sports or boxing even after reaching finals but he still wins championship without even practicing because he is in Love. I don't want to say anything else.

    Maan Karate can be a humour film but its such a disrespect to boxing. Being a sportsman the film is more irritating than entertaining to me. How could it possibly happen? A Person who doesn't know what boxing is to reach finals? He goes to the finalist opponent and begs him to lose to him so that he will love Hansika! WORST SCENE EVER!!!! SO Stupid! How much love one would have had to win a championship? Just because the hero peter wants to screw hansika he wants the real Boxer to lose to him, the guy who doesn't know boxing! Please do not try to blow things by keeping LOVE as a medium my dear Kollywood directors. It's true that you want to show hero to be a funny guy, and to be a funny guy he should not be talented, but still why win Championship? THUMBS DOWN for maan karate even though i like Siva!
