Remaking
classics
will
be
a
painful
task
as
it
rides
on
huge-burden
of
expectations
from
audience.
Minor
errors
will
also
be
noticed
by
people
and
they
don't
leave
any
opportunity
to
come
hard
on
the
makers
of
the
film.
So,
making
justice
to
such
products
and
satisfying
audience
are
the
difficult
parts
of
remaking
hit
movies.
Now,
Thillu
Mullu,
a
blockbuster
starring
Rajinikanth
and
Madhavi,
has
been
remade.
The
original
version
was
directed
by
legendary
K
Balachander
and
it
had
established
stars
playing
the
lead
roles.
But
the
latest
instalment
is
made
by
budding
stars.
The
movie
is
the
remake
of
Bollywood
hit
movie
Golmal
starring
Amol
Palekar.
Shiva
and
Isha
Talwar
starring
Thillu
Mullu
is
directed
by
Badri.
The
director
has
finely
tuned
the
script
to
suit
the
new-age
audience.
Has
the
team
done
justice
to
the
original?
Find
it
in
the
review...
To
begin
with
Badri,
he
has
made
sea
changes
in
the
script.
So,
those
who
think
that
the
2013
Thillu
Mullu
would
be
a
carbon
copy
of
superstar
Rajinikanth's
movie,
the
Shiva
starrer
movie
would
surprise.
Well,
the
core
story
is
the
same,
but
the
screenplay
makes
huge
difference.
Pasupathi's
(Shiva)
life
is
not
going
great
with
him
losing
his
father's
property
in
a
legal
battle.
Now,
he
is
in
search
of
a
better
job
to
lead
the
normal
life.
He
also
has
the
responsibility
of
his
sister's
marriage.
Upon
hearing
his
uncle's
advice,
he
decides
to
get
a
job
in
a
leading
water
brand
owned
by
Siva
Gurunathan
(Prakash
Raj).
Well,
Pasupathi
says
a
series
of
lies
to
impress
Siva
Gurunathan,
an
ardent
devote
of
Murugan,
and
gets
a
job.
But
soon
the
former
lands
in
trouble
when
he
will
be
caught
by
his
boss
at
T20
match
as
Pasupathi
takes
a
leave
to
watch
the
game
by
claiming
that
his
mother
is
ill.
However,
he
escapes
from
the
situation
by
claiming
that
it
was
not
him
but
his
identical
twin
brother
Kanthan
Ganguly,
who
was
in
the
stadium.
Every
now
and
then,
he
lands
in
trouble
but
manages
to
bail
himself
out
of
lies.
As
the
fate
has
it,
someday
truth
prevails.

Not
A
Blatant
Copy
As
I
said
before,
the
director
has
come
up
with
interesting
plots.
The
new
elements
that
he
brings
into
the
script
makes
the
difference.
He
has
not
just
copied
scene
to
scene
rather
has
just
taken
an
outline
of
the
original
story.
Shiva
Comes
Out
With
Flying
Colours
Performance
wise,
Shiva
is
simply
brilliant.
His
innocence
and
the
way
he
delivers
one-liners
get
full
marks.
The
point
that
has
to
be
noted
here
is
that
the
young
actor
has
not
tried
to
imitate
the
superstar
Rajini.
Other
Cast
Prakash
Raj
perfectly
fits
the
role.
The
way
he
expresses
his
anger
and
humour
makes
people
to
burst
with
laughter.
Heroine
Isha
Talwar
has
a
good
screen
space
in
the
movie
and
is
very
charming.
Show
Stealer
Santhanam
Show
stealer
Santhanam
appears
in
the
climax
and
impresses
audience
instantly.
Kovai
Sarala
is
good,
Suri,
Sathyan
and
Ilavarasu
are
fine.
Music
by
Yuvan
Shankara
Raja
and
Lakshman's
camera
works
are
okay.
But
Praveen-Srikanth's
editing
is
not
sharp.
If
the
film
was
reduced
by
at
least
15
minutes,
it
would
have
been
an
entirely
different
product.
