Thalapathy - Karnan Connect?

That may sound odd and some of you may ask this question to be discarded as "OUT OF SYLLABUS". But wait, it really has some in fact, more connections. Another excavation jointly done by me and poli is given here in detail.

1) What does the relation between Surya and Deva potray ?
What does the relation between Karnan and Dhuriyodhanan potray ?

Ans: Friendship (Aalamana natpu)

2) How are Dhuriyodhana and Mamooty (Deva) potrayed ?

Ans: "Goondas" or "Nuisances" to the society.

3) Who is the father of Karnan?
What is the name of Rajini in thalapathy ?

Ans: Surya.

4) By what means are Rajini(in thalapathy) and karnan born ?

Ans: Illegal sex.

5) How does the mothers of karnan and rajini send away their kids ?

Ans: By keeping them in a wooden box and sailing them away.

6) How are the roles of arjuna and arvindsamy (real brother of arjuna) potrayed ?

Ans: Going by the rules of government

Also, in both the epics the mother seeks promise from rajini and karnan that there should be no harm done to arvindsamy and arjun accordingly.

Let us stop the mapping here. I never even thought of this when i saw this film on screen. To be honest, i never knew who is Mani rathnam at that time. All i knew was i'm going to witness "Thalaivar's" film and it was a matter to boast about to see rajini's film in the opening week's shows.

So, i can never correlate whether mani had scripted his own from karnan. But there are really too many to be taken as coincidence. Taking into consideration that he has borrowed the real script, it is not at all a shame, for the way the film was directed. It had all the things for a film to be smashing hit and for a film to be dubbed in many regional languages and yet it was appelaing the 'A' class-section of the audience who needed intelligence and grace in every frame.

You can never have a better collage with P.C.Sriram, Illaiyaraja,Vairamuthu and Mani rathnam.
