Every review that has been written on this movie talks about the fact it has been taken from the engish movie (which was taken from SK's novel). But whats wrong with that ? I heard that Balu did acknowledge it. Steven spielberg has been taking movies from books only !! Whats wrong with that ? If the question is was the original recognized, I heard that he did recognize it. Not sure if it came in the titles, because I missed the titles when I saw the movie. But a great movie and we must acknowledge tamil cinema hasnt seen much better in recent times.
Yes the movie is copy, so what? There are lots of movies which are original and SICK. This movie is much better than most of the movies that were released recently.
Don't our directors / producers get tired of copying movies. I don't want to repeat the names, since its proven now.... Concept is similar to all other movies out there. It just makes us sick and tired.... I bet these people either does not have an outside knowledge at all or.... just copy movies all the time from french / spanish / english / foreign movies if they become a hit.... This should have shown up in the preview of the movie itself....Doesn't someone ask these questions to these people.... I hope one day our cine world would change... (Use their own real mind to take real good films..)
Agreed that it is a copy of Misery. But Why did the audience enjoy Nayakan when it was also a copy of a much more famous movie, God Father. Kamal copied Brando and Mani copied the screen play. Kamal even won the national award. The point is that TN masses don't watch hollywood movies.
Balu has also copied Aarth in Marupadiyum and got away with it. But it is very common among Tamil Directors and even Tamil Music Diretors
It amazes me at how quick a certain composer from Bollywood was quick to sue a US based recording artist for ripping off his music. What if Hollywood started suing Bollywood for every film plot line it copies from Hollywood's movies???? Me thinks half of Bombay would be out of business!!!
Please comment responsibly about Re-recording, I feel Ilayaraja is the only music director in India who does this extremly well. There are many many films, I can quote which ran only for his background music. This is only place I found the such bad comments about the background music for this film!!!
Every once in a while Indian cinema comes up with a movie from out of the ordinary, and then you realize sooner than later that this is yet a nother case of blatant plagarism. This one is no different. Lifted lock,stock and barrel from the James Caan, Kathy Bates flick Mercy. Being inspired is one thing, but, plagarism is inexcusable. Dubbing the original would have made more sense. Atleast, you don't have to endure all the unrelated dream sequences.
