A
remake of Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25, (Malayalam, 2019) which was highly
successful rural sci-fi laced with humour, this Tamil version focuses on the
acting prowess of filmmaker turned actor, K.S.Ravikumar (who usually makes it a
point to appear in a cameo in his directorial ventures!) who reprises the
character enacted brilliantly by Suraj Venjaramood. KSR has modified it to suit
his stature and convenience emerging effectively as a widower with mood swings.
Soubin
Sahir’s role has been taken up by Tharshan
without much of an impact. Losliya playing his pair has nothing much to do in
the proceedings that focus on the bondage between an elderly widower and his
caretaker, a robot!
The directorial duo, Sabari and Saravanan have ceremoniously followed the
original, of course, with some changes felt suitable for the Tamil audience.
KSR
comes good more in the second half of the film than in the first half and is
impressive with his foot work too in a song and dance routine, clad in formal
costumes.
Yogi
Babu ridicules others and gets ridiculed by others, without any impact.
Prankster
Rahul irritates whenever he appears.
A
faithful remake that could be enjoyed by the family.
Ghibran’s
score passes muster.
