After
the
huge
success
of
Thalapathy
Vijay's
Master,
Kollywood
witnessed
yet
another
blockbuster-
Karnan.
The
Dhanush-starrer
released
in
cinemas
on
April
9.
Written
and
directed
by
Mari
Selvaraj,
the
film
revolves
around
a
fearless
young
man
who
is
on
a
mission
to
safeguard
the
rights
of
his
people-
the
conservative
villagers.
Partially
based
on
the
1995
Kodiyankulam
communal
clash,
the
film
is
backed
by
Kalaipuli
S
Thanu
under
his
production
banner
Theni
Eswar.
Talking
about
the
film's
business
so
far,
Karnan
kicked
off
its
theatrical
journey
by
accumulating
a
net
collection
of
Rs
10.40
crore.
On
days
2
and
3,
the
rural
drama
acquired
Rs
5.50
crore
and
Rs
6.50
crore
respectively.
Coming
to
day
4,
the
film
has
reportedly
collected
Rs
3.15
crore
which
is
impressive
at
this
time,
when
the
Tamil
Nadu
government
has
slashed
the
seating
capacity
in
theatres
and
multiplexes
to
50
per
cent.
Though
positive
reviews
on
the
internet
have
been
grabbing
huge
attention,
the
occupancy
restrictions
and
surge
in
the
COVID-19
cases
in
the
state
have
bothered
many.
Karnan
marks
Mollywood
actress
Rajisha
Vijayan's
debut
in
Kollywood.
Also
featuring
Lal
Paul,
Yogi
Babu,
Natarajan
Subramaniam,
Gouri
G
Kishan,
Lakshmi
Priyaa
Chandramouli,
GM
Kumar,
Shanmugarajan,
the
film
has
music
composed
by
'Enjoy
Enjaami'
fame
Santhosh
Narayanan.
The
camera
for
the
rural
drama
has
been
cranked
by
Theni
Eswar,
who
is
best
known
for
Mammootty-Anjali
Ameer
starrer
Peranbu.
