As predicted, Vasu has got it all wrong. In fact, the film should be titled, KuSTALEan because it's nothing more than a stale remake of Katha Parayumbol. In fact, this kushu is punchless. Here Vasu kollafied it to make it as a intelligent-less film. The original had full of satires towards people who get too close to a superstar, here, it's too formal and lacks the beauty.
And as also predicted, Nayantara served NO PURPOSE in the film. Songs weren't needed (original had one on mammooty and one satire song on sreeni, here the ratio is off: 3 for Rajni, 1 for Kuppatara, one for pasupati, the short end of the stick.)
But if you really must watch the film, watch it for pasupathi, he gives more than what the script requires (as seen in Virumandi and the acclaimed, Veyil). Rajni passes muster and his extension was not needed. Same goes for Meena. She's changed alot in her acting since her early days. These guys are the most underrated actors and still the mentals known as rajni and vasu spread word that it's a rajni film is nothing but a big insult. Yet, it sure spread massive orgasms to kanth's incompetent fanbase.
There was alot of superstar-isms that crossed way over the line (a lot more than what mammooty got in the original.) Too many superstar-isms spoil the movie, that says alot. Oh and those who say Livingstone's act was great, to me: eh? it was a blink and miss. Ditto goes for Prabhu and the others
G.V Prakash was always termed as a poor man's ARR. Barring his superhit albums of Kireedom and Pollathavan, Kuselan lacks any good songs. Daler Mehindi seems to get tamil mixex with punjabi. Others seem like rehashes from veyil and his mamu's bombay.
As I've said time and before, had prakash raj bought rights to this film, the film would've been left untouched. But apparently, Vasu was playing with fire and eventually, the fire spread, leading to deaths, including those who are fans of the origin. Mr. Sreenivasan, I'll forgive you for the mistake that you commited. If Chandramukhi killed the complete first half of Manchitranazhu, you can expect pretty much the same for Kuselan.
So in short, Rajnikanth was unneeded for the film, nor were the additional cast members. It's like if P.Vasu were to remake Dasavathaaram 10 years from now, he would kill of all of the intelligence wrapped up in the film and butcher it for the apparent and dumbfounded tamil audience. Then of course, there wouldn't be any critics slamming the film because there's no story. "Well of course there's story, but we wanted to see needless matrix action or rajni dumb's dialogues!" Now the latest is that Vasu's going to kollafly Shahrukh's Baazigar, the movie that gained him mass stardom for his stupid son, Shakthi in tamil. I can see it now, the climax will have shakthi living and instead the heroine will be nayan doing kajol's role.
So in short, go watch katha parayumbol (dvd's due for a release later this year) of course, if you're too dumb to actually understand the context, go watch this trash.
