''Hansika, do you have a boyfriend?''

Maan Karate’s trailer gives us an overall impression of how the movie is going to – a wholesome commercial package, with interesting dialogues timed to perfection by Siva Karthikeyan, peppy tunes by the hit machine Anirudh, and a slimmer yet bubbly Hansika Motwani.
 

The trailer is an all-out Siva show, right from the beginning when he does the Maan Karate pose, and even his dance moves, from the few seconds shown in the trailer, are excellent. The targetted at soup-boys dialogues - "If you cannot make her my love, then make me her love" or "Girls lie to break the relation, but boys lie to make a relation" - would be met with applause. And, that scene in which Hansika twitches her lips when asked whether she has a boyfriend is a standout.
 

In general, movies about sports guarantee a minimum of one goose bumps scene – when the underdog hero, after going through enough troubles, fights back. From then, every punch is packed with power, for all the torments he / she went through. In the trailer, we have a glimpse of the hero’s fall, after being hit in the face by the villain. To see the high energy retaliation punches of the hero (Siva Karthikeyan) against the villain (Vamsi Krishna), we have to wait till the movie’s release.

A worthy wait, indeed!
