Featured reviews
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.

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.

i don't think it is a boxing or sports promotional film. peter and his funny movements in boxing was so funny. he shows mann karate ( run for save life) to all of them. i watched some portions of the film again and again. it's worth of watching. haters , f*** you!!!! . but it is not fare because in this film Peter learns karate in last night before the game!!! that was F****** unbelievable. and the climax is similar to M kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi !!!. it's songs are good and the performance of Anirudh was good in the song "open the tasmac". overall it is a good entertainer to watch and worh of money.
Storyline 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 (Siva Karthikeyan) a normal middle-class guy who is supposed to win Rs 20 million 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. Finally, Peter has to defeat the menacing Killer Peter(Vamsi) in the finals.

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
