The curse of stardom, especially in a country like India -- which wants its Gods to be tidy and punctilious -- is that stardom forces you to stop exploring the frozen sea inside you, and instead inspires you more and more to perform out of a small puddle, observes Sreehari Nair.
Subtlety has never been a strong suit of Bollywood remakes. They cannot resist adding that extra something or going overboard, sighs Sukanya Verma.

After facing the camera for the first time with Gulmohar, filmmaker Ranjith all set to welcome this Onam with Thirakkadha, which he has scripted and directed. The film will have Prithviraj and Priyamani in lead roles.

'I thought either Rajnikanth or Kamal Haasan should do Papanasam. Rajni sir liked it but was not sure about how his fans would accept certain scenes, if he were to do it. Like the scene where he is beaten up by a cop. Kamal sir loved the film and agreed to do it. Later, Rajni sir was willing to take it up but by then, the project was already on with Kamal sir.' Director Jeethu Joseph discusses his well-reviewed film.
'The true conceit of Drishyam is that it makes its audience an honorary accomplice in the crimes that its lead characters commit.'
Review: Papanasam is a worthy remake of Drishyam!
