PERFORMANCE:
Prashanth has done an extraordinary performance. He has put in lots of effort. and excels in all departments. He outshines his father’s performance in 80s film at places.
Meera Jasmine is fresh and cute, and she fits the character reprising the memorable role done bySaritha in the original.
Vadivelu has reprised the popular village minor character of Goundamani, and he has done it in his own style. Sure, ‘Mambattiyan’ will be the re-entry movie for Vadivelu.
Mumaith Khan touches our hearts with her character role that Jayamalini did in the 80s film.
Prakashraj with his performance makes you sit upright and watch. He is a good choice as a police officer.
Thiagarajan, who donned the title role in the original has taken care of the story, screenplay, dialogue, production and direction, and must say that he has tried his best to revive the flagging career of his son. His hard work is seen in every frame of the film.
Camera work by Shaji Kumar is worth a mention.
Music is by Thaman. Songs are already a hit and background score is a big strength for the movie. Silambarasan has sung the title song remix ‘Kaattu Vazhi…’ The original song in the voice of Thiagarajan is a good number that lasts in our mind even after we leave the theatre, especially the song ‘Chinna Ponnu Sela....
