Film: "Settai"; Cast: Arya, Premgi Amaren, Santhanam, Hansika Motwani, Anjali, Nassar, Ali, Neetu Chandra and Mano Bala; Director: R. Kannan; Rating: **1/2
"Settai", the Tamil remake of Hindu adult-comedy "Delhi Belly" has its moments of laughter to look forward to, but it definitely misses the soul of the original.
As much as I tried not to compare the film with its original, there are instances in the film where you automatically revisit the Hindi version. In an attempt to do justice to the original, "Settai" fails to innovate and gives audiences more reasons not to like it even when it desperately attempts to entertain in an exercise it partly succeeds in.
The story takes us through the escapades of three friends,.

Chennai, March 24: What does Tamil director R. Kannan find most challenging in remakes? It's casting, he says as he anxiously awaits the release of his upcoming Tamil comedy "Settai" -- a remake of Hindi adult comedy "Delhi Belly".
"This is not the first time when I have faced this situation. Even when I was remaking 'Jab We Met' in Tamil, I spent so much time zeroing in on the cast," Kannan told Ians.
"However, casting for 'Settai' was most challenging because initially all the actors were sceptical how would I remake the film for Tamil audience," he added.
"When I met Arya to discuss the idea of the film, he was taken aback that.

Film: "Settai"; Music Director: S.S Thaman; Singers: Megha, Vijay Prakash, Gaana Bala, Karthik, Suchithra, Andrea Jeremiah, Chinmayi, Sricharan, Anbu Raju and Dhevan; Rating: ***
The soundtrack of "Settai", the Tamil remake of the adult comedy "Delhi Belly", doesn't have the cuss words and expletives of the original. The songs are catchy, hilarious and, most importantly, short. Each song is less than four minutes, and therefore holds the attention of the listener.
The opening track "Agalardhey agalardhey" by Megha and Vijay Prakash is one of the most popular songs of the album. Effervescent voices of the singers are strongly backed by extended bass beats played throughout the song, while the mellow tune of the synthesiser.
