Pokiri: Tamil Vs Telugu

Like a lot of Vijay’s movies, pokiri is also a remake from telugu. Few of his old movies are good and I enjoyed watching Gilli.
But the thing is I watched that movie before watching Okadu of telugu.
This time, I watched pokiri after watching pokiri in telugu.
Now tamil pokiri has got not a few but many flaws.

First thing is Asin is not Illeyana and Vijay is not Mahesh Babu. Even though you can say that Mahesh Babu is beter looking than Vijay and Illeyana is comparable with Asin, their screen chemistry was much beter than the screen chemistry which Asin and Vijay had in Tamil Pokiri.

Second thing is the way Prabhu deva has screwed the movie. The movie was too vulgur. Telugu pokiri was a family entertainer. Even though it has the same sceens in which the police officer talks with Illeyana’s mom and her. But here in addition to that, there are a lot of lewd sceens. Best example is the first sceen in which the camera was focussed directly on Asin’s boobs. I really got irritated watching that sceen (Even though I cant say i didnt liked it But i am comparing that sceen with the introduction of Illeyana in Telugu).

The lift sceen in telugu was the best screen in telugu pokiri. In tamil, it was the reverse. I was expecting for that sceen to end and the dialogues inside the lift were also too bad. Unnecessarily Appadi podu song was introduced in the middle and the dreaming sceens of Asin inside the lift were too horrible. Mahesh Babu was slapping much harder than Vijay and was more realistic.

The first train sceen in which Vijay asks about uppuma is badly taken. In telugu, the way Illeyana bitches is really beautiful. But Asin oh my god. I never dreamed asin like that. She is supposed to be a class figure. Madras bashai didnt suit her. It was looking too awful.

While watching dole dole song in telugu, I thought that in tamil, prabhu deva will do the particular song much beter. But i saw the reverse. Telugu song was really trendy. But in tamil, i was yawning through out the song. Asin’s dance was also low class.

Now Talking about the few good things in the movie, firstly, this is a tamil movie and i dont have to depend on other guys translating the dialogues for me. Vadivelu’s comody, even though he has done the same thing in a lot of earlier movies was much beter than bababa which you see in telugu.

In the scene when Nasar talks about his son to Prakash Raj, Vijay even while taking his oath, comes unshaved. Even in telugu, Mahesh babu comes with long hair. (I was in NCC for three years. So I can identify these things beter)

As a whole, in this movie, Vijay has tried to imitate what Mahesh Babu has done and he has failed miserably. Vijay’s rugged looks dont suit that. Asin has unnecessariy tried to immitate Illeyana. We guys like her for what she is and not for what she has tried to imitate. She should try more to be herself in the future movies and she shouldn’t do the same stupid dance steps which she has done in this movie.

I think the standard of Tamil movies has become worse than that of the Telugu movies ! And it is high time tamil movies should take a revival and procede on to a new path. The audience should support good movies and the movies which are heavily based on sex shouldnt be discouraged. I am just hoping to see nice movies in Tamil too and I am longing to feel the same pulse which I felt while watching Talapathi or Bombay.
I will certainly recommend you guys to watch the telugu version of Pokiri to celebrate the original movie.
