There is enough scope for drama but thankfully, nothing goes overboard. The movie deals with the bonding between the millionaire and the care taker and how each of them goes about their own lives as a result of the bonding. There is nothing artificial in either of these two characters. This is a tailor made role for him and right from his accent, mannerism, everything fits in naturally. KARTHI plays the role of NAG’s caretaker, which was played by OMAR SY in the original. Yes, you might feel a bit weird to hear him mouth Tamil dialogs, but I think, its better to have his own voice than someone else dub, because sometimes, the dubbing artist might not be able to portray the exact feelings of the character and this role requires portrayal of feelings via eyes, cheeks.and only NAG will know better when to pause and when to talk and so, his Tamil diction can be easily forgiven. But, NAG has nailed it and hats off to him for taking up this role. I was worried about this character, because in the original FRANCOIS CLUZET would have done so much justice to it, that its almost impossible to imagine someone else in that role. He has played the role of a millionaire who is now restricted to his wheelchair perfectly. I don’t know about the style, but certainly NAGARJUNA’s beauty and charm just keep growing each day. This is a very famous dialog from a popular RAJINI movie. “Vayasanalum Un Stylum azhagum innum onna vittu pogala” – loosely translated as “Even though you are old, your style and beauty are still with you”.
Can’t come up with a better adaptation than this one. However, after watching THOZHA, I felt that the team had done complete justice to the original. Some movies leave such an impact that we feel that remaking it or adapting it to other languages will spoil the originality and so those sorts of movies should never be touched.
