Hoping for a Super-Hit/Blockbuster ..
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.

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
