Cine-goers
can't
stop
gushing
over
Dhanush's
brilliant
performance
in
the
recently
released
film
Karnan.
After
a
long
wait
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown,
the
rural
drama
rolled
out
in
theatres
on
April
9.
With
no
major
competitor,
the
Dhanush-starrer
managed
to
woo
the
audience
with
its
unique
charm.
What
surprised
even
more
is
the
fact
that
the
film
received
5-star
reviews
from
most
critics,
which
is
not
something
we
see
everyday.
Talking
about
business,
the
film
has
grossed
Rs
10.50
crore
(and
Rs
8.90
crore
net)
in
Tamil
Nadu
on
its
opening
day,
which
is
very
impressive
as
per
Kollywood's
standard.
This
also
marks
the
first
time
when
Dhanush's
film
has
crossed
Rs
10
crore
mark
on
its
opening
day.
As
per
film
critic
Kaushik
LM,
Karnan
has
emerged
as
Dhanush's
career-best
opening
in
Chennai
city.
He
tweeted,"#Karnan
emerges
as
@dhanushkraja's
career-best
opening
in
Chennai
city,
grossing
92
lakhs
on
the
opening
day👌👏
It
comfortably
crosses
his
earlier
best
#VadaChennai
city
opening
day
gross
of
81
lakhs.
BO
Rampage
all
over
TN
y'day!
Phenomenal
in
these
times!
#Dhanush."

On
the
other
hand,
film
analyst
Rajasekar
shared
that
the
film
has
collected
impressive
numbers
from
regions
of
Tamil
Nadu
including
Kovilpatti,
Tuticorin
and
Tirunelveli.
Sharing
the
detail
he
tweeted,
"Fantastic
numbers
coming
in
for
@dhanushkraja's
#Karnan
in
#TamilNadu
Kovilpatti-
8
Lakhs
Tuticorin-
13
Lakhs
Tirunelveli-
43
Lakhs
TK
area
-
80
lakhs
career-best
for
#D.
Also,
the
best
opening
for
the
actor
in
Tamil
Nadu
in
his
18
years
of
film
career."
Well,
with
the
film
weaving
magic
at
the
box
office
and
the
government
slashing
occupancy
to
50
%
in
theatres,
fans
of
the
star
are
dubious
about
the
collection
and
are
indeed
hoping
for
the
best,
given
the
fact
that
Karnan
is
a
deserving
flick.
The
National
Award-winning
actor
plays
the
role
of
a
youngster
who
is
on
a
mission
to
safeguard
the
rights
and
lives
of
his
people.
Dhanush's
flawless
performance
and
emotions
have
blended
beautifully
with
the
acting
chops
of
the
other
supporting
actors.
Santhosh
Narayanan's
music
with
Theni
Eswar's
cinematography
has
also
turned
the
film
into
a
perfect
audio-visual
treat
for
the
audience.
Also
featuring
Lal
Paul,
Yogi
Babu,
Natarajan
Subramaniam,
Gouri
G
Kishan
and
Lakshmi
Priyaa
Chandramouli,
Karnan
marks
Mollywood
actress
Rajisha
Vijayan's
debut
in
Kollywood.
Backed
by
Kalaipuli
S
Thanu
under
V
Creations,
the
film
has
editing
carried
out
by
Selva
RK.
The
distribution
rights
of
Karnan
have
been
sold
to
Zee
