For someone who has watched the original manichitrathazhu which like most malayalam movies is realistic , this movie was made to suit the fans of rajnikanth alone .coz im pretty sure tamil audience accepts realistic subjects too.if nly it stuck to the original script. . Or rather almost close to original it would have been enjoyable. For those havent watched the original this might suit them. The character mohanlal played felt like a normal human doctor., Shobana was subtle ( and per me a lot if credit goes to the dubbing artist to bring out thr emtiins too) Wheares the tamil it was over the top n rajinis character is not human " It was unbelievable and not convincing "....like seriously,he flies to drop the cup held by prabhu??🙄 its time to accept characters as characters
