bhuvanayadav Review of Pokkiri

Pokkiri (2007)

One of the worst remakes t have ever seen ( only saving grace was Vijay)

[2/10 · 25 May 2023]

• The movie starts well with Thalapathy's entry fight as it is entirely a replica of original. And Vijay as always with his sway elevates the movie. But when ever Prabhudeva tries to change the movie from original it fails. The changes which Prabhudeva made to the film only makes it feel dated, be it the unnecessary camera zooms(which made it feel like a serial), complicate steps to simple feel good music and the comedy scenes with water tanker is completely cringe. The original Pokiri with mahesh babu still holds up as it doesn't have any scene involving leads which are cringe and has sensible fight scenes which almost makes it a classic gangster vs cop film. I hope Vijay never attempts a remake ever as he shines in his original content like Kaththi, mersal, master.
