    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.

    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!

    Another sports melodrama tamil film with less entertainment quotient

    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.

    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
