The movie is fantastic... But I have to admit that the original version “Jigarthanda” was way more detailed in screen play. If the movie was made as it is, then it would be a big flop. After I watched the jigarthanda, I heard that Valmiki is remake of Jigarthanda and Varun sir acting as assault Sethu... I was like what ... in the very first scene of jigarthanda, assault Sethu murders a journalist, and in the end he would become a funny rowdy in his own place... and Varun sir accepted this role ... how audience will take those scenes.
Story is apart, it’s only about Varun sir makeover and his characterisation. And the director has changed the depth of the story. But this story is acceptable and very well executed....
Review : after you watch Jigarthanda you feel emotional, after you watch Valmiki you feel funny ....
Footnote : pls don’t remake a movie and change the story just to elevate heroism.
