I am finally back! I wanted to watch another original vs remake thing, with me now watching the original Tamil version to the Hindi version back to back, though released in separate days. I guess I just needed something light, something good, and this film provided that for me in…

This is a re-review since I feel like I did not do a good job of doing it when I first posted a review of this film. Now with more maturity and more analysis skills. I also just wanted to rewatch this film once more. Spoilers for the film below!…
