That Sir is doing the remake is the only reason why I have held back watching the original.
The last two attempts at a remake have been underwhelming - Munna Bhai MBBS - Vasool Raja MBBS and A Wednesday - Unnaippol Oruvan.
Both of the above,I had seen the original first.
With Kuruthippunal,it was different.Saw it first and it was stunning.Of course,read later that this version was much better then the Hindi original by Govind Nihalani,Droh Kaal.
Hope with the director being the same,this will be on par with the Malayalam version(which I will see after this gets released)
