I think this is the first time, a non-RKFI film is getting the best screens since UPO times. Which means when Sleepless jungle inches to release time, will we expect further issues and maybe less screens?
Could it be time to get another banner other than Lingu/KH to release KH's films to get maximum coverage?

with sub-title. will eat into devgan version for sure.
3 hours is too much. anything beyond 2 and half will be difficult to maintain viewers interest.

Saw the 1st half of #Papanasam & quite enjoyed it, Jeethu Joseph's more or less stuck to original with very minor changes so far

First half of #Papanasam was very well done, stays loyal to Malayalam original, different only in flavour. And Kamal Haasan is rocking it.
Positive waves everywhere for papanasam. . .lovely

The first reviews are out and very positive reviews.
Rating --- 4.5/5 !! Must Watch even if you have watched Drishyam !! Realistic rare good cinema :)
4.5/5
is it enough guys :p
Remaking films are quite difficult. You need to have good casting and detailing to get that flavour correct to meet that particular audiences expectations. They have done a good research part about the story backdrop (Nellai) which should be somewhat similar to original version (Drishyam) to get that authenticity !!
One more positive review.

The reviewer praises it sky-high and answers the worry about the length of the film.
Bestest review above link!
http://madrasink.com/2015/07/03/papa...-the-original/
Jeetu Joseph’s Papanasam, his Tamil remake of his own Drishyam, never feels three hours long. In fact, it’s an extremely riveting thriller drama
The interval was hijacked with the screening of an entire 106 minute long Second Hand Husband because Dharmendra, whose family owned Sunny Super Sound, was there himself and the second half started at 6 p.m and the show ended at 7.30! Yet, instead of being exhausted, the audience was applauding the film. “This was the first time I clapped during a press show,” as a critic friend admitted.
The first half is the experienced reality. Life. Facts. Truth.
And the second is the constructed reality. Movies. Fiction. Lies.
As Papanasam launches into this story-telling game, it becomes a meta-film about the power of movies to educate, enrich and empower people from the remotest towns and villages in the country. It’s a great homage to cinema and a must watch for movie buffs.
Even if you have read Devotion of Suspect X or watched Suspect X… actually, especially if you have read or watched the debatable source of influence, you would appreciate this a lot more because Jeetu Joseph not only makes it his own film but makes it a film that’s essentially our own.
Lovely review for PN.

A film about our love for lies. For fiction. And movies
Papanasam all the way ....
'Papanasam (Papanaasam) Movie Review: Live Audience Response
Kamal Haasan and Gauthami starrer "Papanasam" (Also spelled as "Papanaasam") had its first premiere in Mumbai for selected guests. The Tamil movie will release on Thursday evening in some foreign countries and will hit the screens on Friday in India.
It is the Tamil remake of Malayalam blockbuster "Drishyam" starring Mohanlal and Meena. Jeetu Joseph, the creator of the original, has directed "Papanasam". Apart from Kamal Haasan and Gauthami, the real life couple, Niveda Thomas, Esther Anil, Kalabhavan Mani, Asha Sarath and others are in the cast.
"Papanasam" has Ghibran's music, Sujith Vaassudev's cinematography and Ayoob Khan's editing. "Drishyam" has been already made in Kannada and Telugu and both the versions have become hits. The Hindi version starring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran is in the making. These remake attempts alone tells the strength of the film.
Reviews:
The movie has opened to positive reviews. It is undoubtedly the script of Jeetu Joseph which has been praised to the heavens. Kamal Haasan's emotional and natural acting is the biggest highlight of the Tamil movie. Below, we bring you the audience's response to the film:

Be moved to tears by Kamal Haasan in that scene with @ananthmahadevan towards end of #Papanasam Beats most Oscar winning actors with range.

#Papanasam Interval: Nicely done. Kamal Hassan rules this one with his dialect, along with some eclectic BGM by @GhibranOfficial.

Halfway through #Papanasam. Smartly setup family thriller which is authentic in its own ways. Kamal's dialect deserves a special mention.

Watched first show yesterday. No words to describe the movie. Kamal and director nailed it. Subtle and natural acting all the way. Gibran rocked. First time i heard people clap once the movie ends. Kudos to the team!
I have booked for Saturday night for entire family yesterday itself. After seeing all the reviews and late night Papanasam work, feeling very tired and sick. So have taken sick leave and going to FDFS in PVR.
In BO, it's improving very much. Until yesterday, in Bangalore Bookmyshow, it was in the 6th place for booking. Now, it's second next to Terminator.
Will be watching the movie in exactly an hour. Looking forward to another great experience.

Chennai Sathyam Booking status. Until, yesterday, it was in pathetic state and people are mocking in the twitter.
Watched midnight show yesterday.. it was like watching true scenes that happening in front of us.. the family bonding.. the fathers feel.. the daughters love..everything was perfect!! last 30mins.. Kamal sir take control the show to the next level.. must watch..
so NOV, you were wrong (me too!)
ppl hails KH saying he performed par excellence and better than ML
:pink:
Watched. Credit to Jeethu Joseph for bringing the same magic in Tamil too. More than being a faithful remake, the film has few additional elements and that worked well for me.
Kamal looked on par with Lal for 3/4th of the film but he takes over in the last quarter. When the director had said in an interview that the Tamil version will be more emotional, I was not very happy. But it works really well.
And it is good to see a promising young talent like Ghibran groomed by Kamal. His music is a huge plus.
On the negatives, I didn't find many. Like the original, the story unfolds in a leisurely pace. Also, I didn't like Gauthami. She was dull compared to Meena.
The show I watched was in the midnight. But almost 80% of the hall was filled with family audience, something that's rare for midnight shows.
