    10mailsridharswamynathan

    A remake that exceeds the original

    Excellent Songs by Illayaraja, Excellent Casting & Acting.

    Exceeds the original through better screenplay and Acting/Action sequences

    Debut directorial of Suresh Krishna whose carrier ended with Baba.

    Pre-90s Unemployment issues well portrayed which ended after Globalization in India

    Most kids used to keep this hairstyle and the ornament Gada, Kamalhassan wears in his hand is still followed by most upcoming actors

    Movie to be watched by 2k Kids who loves Kamalhassan after Vikram 2 (2022) but can know a lot about him by watching 80s movies like Apporva Sagotharargal, Salangai Oli, Pesum Padam, Guna and 90s movies like Thevar Magan.
