Karnan tamil full movie online
Born with Kavasam and Kundalam (Armour and ear-rings), and bequeathed as a gift from the Sun God to an unwed Kunti (M. V. Rajamma), Karnan is abandoned so as to prevent embarrassment for her. He is set afloat in the Ganga, rescued and adopted by a charioteer, who is employed with Dhritarashtra, the blind king. Years later, the now-grown up Karnan (Sivaji Ganesan) realizes that the charioteer is his foster father only, thus heartbroken. He however masters archery and challenges Arjun (R. Muthuraman) at a contest. When Karnan is insulted on account of his birth, Duryodhan (S. A. Ashokan) defends him and accepts him as his partner. Karnan is eventually crowned the king of Anga.
Karnan is keen to acquire the Brahmastra mantra from the great teacher Parasuram. However, he knows that Parasuram gives instructions to Brahmins (the priestly tribe) only. So he disguises as a Brahmin and beseeches Parasuram to accept him as a sishya (disciple). Parsuram accepts him as such and starts giving him instructions. One day when Parasuram is resting in Karnan’s lap, it so happens that a giant bee stings Karnan on the lower portion of his thigh. It was very painful and he starts bleeding. However, fearing that if he moved his legs, he would awaken Parasuram, he does not move at all and continues to suffer. When Parasuram wakes up, he sees Karnan bleeding. He asks Karnan about his true identity, and states that a Brahmin cannot suffer so much physical pain. Only a kshattriya (the warrior tribe) can endure so much discomfort. Karnan is obliged to disclose his identity. Parasuram is greatly enraged, because he is a sworn enemy of Kshattriyas. He therefore curses Karnan that as he had learnt through deceit, he shall forget the vidya (skill) which Parasuram had taught him at the crucial juncture.
Meanwhile, Karnan saves Subhangi (Devika) from an out-of-control chariot, and they fall for each other. However, Subhangi’s parents disapprove of this because they don’t want their daughter to marry someone who doesn’t know about his own parents. However, after some time they accept, so Karnan and Subhangi are happily married. She gives birth to a son Vrishasena

Story: An unmarried Kunti playfully tests her boons and gets a baby. To hide her embarrassment, she sets the child afloat in a river and it is rescued by a charioteer who names him Karnan.
Movie Review: The young Karnan (Sivaji) becomes a master in archery and one day challenges Arjuna ( Muthuraman) to a contest. When he is insulted on account of his birth, Duryodhana (Ashokan) comes to his rescue and accepts him as a friend and an equal by gifting him a kingdom. How the valorous Karnan becomes a beacon of friendship, despite learning his birth secret, and earns his fate forms the rest of the tale.
The 1964 movie about one of the flawed but fascinating characters from the Mahabharata and featuring a multi-star cast has been restored using modern digital technology and is being re-released this week.
Very often, we tend to interchangeably use the terms 'classic' and a 'masterpiece'. But, a classic need not be a masterpiece. While a masterpiece is often the greatest (and near perfect) work among an artist's efforts, a classic - while not being the greatest - is something that is long-lasting and loved by the public. And, the fact that a classic isn't a masterpiece doesn't take away anything from it. Far from it, it is its ability to stand the tests of time - despite its imperfections - that make it unique and cherished.
B R Panthulu's Karnan certainly belongs to this latter category. As a cinematic work, it is as flawed as its titular character. The pacing is uneven, the complexities of the plot are overtly simplified, the songs are one too many (but what songs they are!) and the narrative isn't tightly structured -scenes do not segue into the next smoothly but with a randomness that can at times be unsettling. Take for example the scene in which Subhangi, wife of Karnan, returns to her husband after forcibly being taken home immediately after the wedding by her royal dad who ridicules Karnan on account of his lowly birth. She consoles her husband and breaks out into a song (the exquisite Kannukku Kulam Yedhu) and once it ends, we are told that Subhangi is pregnant, while, going by what we saw on screen, it should have been only a matter of days since their marriage!
But all such niggles recede far into the background when you immerse yourself into the spirited performances. To the modern movie-goer, Sivaji's performance might seem over the top (he even literally roars back when mocked by his father-in-law) but it is a performance that is in perfect sync with the tone of the movie. This is a pitch-perfect larger-than-life performance that will move you in the sentimental scenes, stir you in the romantic ones, make you laugh in the comic moments and rouse you in the battle scenes.
And N T Rama Rao's Krishna is inarguably the definitive portrayal of the Lord on screen. His scene stealing act, with sly smiles and all knowing glances, is one of the delights of the film. In this age of bad lip syncs and limp performances, these portrayals have energy that makes the movie dynamic and prove why a film cannot stand on its own without an actor.
Coming to the restoration, this too is far from perfect but is certainly a praiseworthy attempt, considering that the film had to be salvaged from badly-damaged negatives. There are shots that are jittery, unfocussed and the transition points between scenes seem faded compared to the shots before and after them; at times, you also see a distracting fluorescent patch on the screen. But, on the whole, the quality of the picture is remarkable with the bright colours accentuating the opulence of the scenes. The 5.1 DTS soundtrack, which has been recorded anew for this re-release, complements the visuals and never sounds modern, though, in the climatic scenes, the background music is a tad too overpowering, drowning out the dialogues.
At a time when we are praising international films like 'The Artist' and 'Hugo' for creating awareness in film history, it is essential that we don't ignore such desi attempts, if only for the fact that their success is bound to make more and more people from the industry take interest in preserving our rich film heritage.
