The same happened in Tamil. Rajni was given too much of importance. The real hero is the poor guy but the spotlight in the movie and all the posters was on the Rich guy. That might have happened because, Rajni was involved

. I am guessing the same thing happened in Billu also

My feel is ,Hindi Bollywood wants Masala mix.realistic film industries like in Malayalam may not be a hit in hindi which targets international viewers too.

I think the Malayalam version "Kathaparayumbol" was quite nice.

Ofcourse, Kuselan was really not the kind of thing.

I dont know what will come out in Hindi....

No argument about that.
Sorry if I am being bad. Many of Hit Malayalam movies had been dubbed into other languages like Tamil, and in some really we lost the dignity of our films, when Rajani over-acted in them.

You would ofcourse know "Chandramukhi" in which Rajani starred...
The original Malayalam version of the film was "Manichithrathazhu" in which Mohanlal starred. I would say that the Tamil version never came atleast 10 miles near the Malayalm version....It was really a kind of shame for me to watch the Tamil version. I couldn't bear to watch the it fully. I got fed up in the middle and had to run...

Please Note :
Malayalam Version(Original) : Kathaparayumbol
Tamil Version : Kuselan
Hindi Version : Billu

Let me share some reviews made by others on the films :

1) One anantha said :

Quote:

I was disappointed with Kuselan, because in a way watching Kathaparayumbol the day before, made me more eager to see how Thalaivar would look in something like that. I was disappointed, to say the least. And sounds like Billu is a scene by scene remake. To be honest, Billu/Kuselan needed an Amitabh Bachchan, not SRK/Thalaivar.

2) Another person said :

Quote:

From the movie trailers on the tube, it was very clear that it would as well be a sad caricature of the Malayalam original ‘Katha Parayumbol’, which I have watched more than once. It is surprising that neither Priyan nor Shah Rukh learnt a lesson from the spectacular failure of the Tamil remake ‘Kuselan’. Rajni distorted and strayed so far away the original’s simplicity and straight story-telling, that the movie looked outlandishly Rajni-centric. The original was not Mammootty-centric. It revolved around the simple, unassumed ‘hair-stylist’ and his equally simple, understanding wife.

Did I sound like Muttalik? I’m sorry. I’m not a safronista. But, I’m pained by the rubbishing of such a powerful creative medium as movies.
