Dhanush starrer, Karnan, which released in theatres earlier this year and proved to be a critical and commercial success, has now been given an OTT release. The Mari Selvaraj directed movie features Dhanush in the lead role. The action-drama film is loosely based on the 1995 Kodiyankulam caste violence that happened in Thoothukudi district. Despite the current situation, Karnan proved to be the highest opening of Dhanush's career, registering ₹10.40 crore at the box office. With the OTT release, the Karnan fever continues and it has been met with renewed praise.
"I was disappointed when I missed Karnan in the theaters, but I finally managed to watch it today on @primevideoin ... There are some films you watch that make you proud to be in this industry and proud of your craft. This was one such film. How does @dhanushkraja sir manage to be so brilliant time and time again.. There were moments when I felt disturbed, intrigued and amazed at the same time. But in fact, isn’t that what good cinema does?" actress Kalyani Priyadarshan wrote on her social media. Filmmaker Aanand L Rai called the film "outstanding and brilliant". “OUTSTANDING & BRILLIANT...This is how you can describe this experience called #Karnan @mari_selvaraj What a storyteller The way you painted ur thoughts on the celluloid. Take a bow!! @dhanushkraja You are a magician mere bhai ..u should have told me.I thought u r an actor. (sic)," he tweeted.
Karnan was Dhanush's maiden collaboration with Mari Selvaraj and following the thunderous response to the film, the actor had tweeted that he will be teaming up with Selvaraj again.
