The
remake of Rajinikanth’s 1989 Mappillai by Sun Pictures dint work out as
expected by Suraaj and team. The movie has copied the skeleton of the old
Mapillai, and tried to do changes in scripting unfortunately have not worked
well for the team but for making it more worse. You need to be careful when
handling a remake, but when you remake an old classic from Rajini then you got
to be double careful
Movie starts off projecting Saravanan (Dhanush), as a very submissive youth. Vivek for some strange reason occupies the screen for the first 15 mins, at a point he irritates big time. Saravanan (Dhanush) saves Gayathri (Hansika Motwani) daughter of Rajeswari (Manisha Koirala) a very big Industrialist, from an accident and the love blossoms between the both and Rajeswari plans gets them married.
Dhanush has another side (yes your right a flashback) he has another rough side and been a terror of kumbokonam. Rajeswari (Manisha Koirala) tries to stop the marriage but doesn’t work out. War between Rajeswari & Saravanan starts off and Rajeswari (Manisha Koirala) campaigns to break the marriage by doing usual Tamil cinema plans and every sketch been foiled by Saravanan (Dhanush). Overall

Overall
- Vivek has been good in bits and pieces in the mid section of the movie but for the rest he has irritated Big TIME.
- Songs are not that great expect Imman to do some justice.
- Hansika Motwani is jus a Skin show element nothing much guess she can work to shake some legs.
- When doing a remake you need to be twice careful because a remake will always be referred to the original version and the Mappillai 2011 fails miserably.
- Danush tries to imitate Rajini at lot of instances, and he is no match to Rajini’s energy compared to the old Maappillai
- Conforntation between Danush and Manisha is a huge let off, and the main reason for this movie not working is that. Since when you see the old Mapillai, the scenes between Srividhya and Rajini are the major highlights.
