A fan's request to remake Raja |
|

August 03, 2007 |

I am a movie buff and a true one at
that. Although I know Tamil, Hindi and
English, it does not stop me from appreciating
the niceties and fine nuances of films
made in other languages. Recently after
hearing rave reviews about a Telugu
film called Bommarillu, I got to watch
the same in DVD with subtitles.
The movie had Siddharth, Genelia and
Prakash Raj in lead roles. I was expecting
the film to be good but I was wrong,
it was exceptional.

It
touched my heart with its simplicity and natural
acting. Bommarillu is a romantic drama with generous
sprinkling of comedy. Everyone involved in the film
seemed to have completely understood their task
which was evident in their performance. The narration
was linear and taut and did not sag. The relationship
between father and son, the impotent anger of the
son towards his father are finely dealt with. Genelia's
cherubic expressions and innocent countenance spice
up the film. The film leaves behind a very nice
feeling. In short it makes one wonder why such a
subject was never touched upon earlier. Please correct
me if I am wrong. Bommarillu could easily earn the
status of one of the best soft romantic movies in
the recent times.
When I came to know that Bommarillu is being remade
in Tamil by the famous Remake Raja and Ravi, I felt
good for Tamil audience who will get an opportunity
to watch this 'feel good' film. Added to that Genelia
and Prakash Raj being signed to do their respective
roles again is indeed a masterstroke. All Bommarillu
lovers would hope that Raja retains the original
flavor and essence in the remake version too.
