After watching the original the intouchables, it's hard not to compare the movie with the original one.In the original movie, their main focus was the relationship between both main characters, in a way the entire movie evolved around them, and the movie was told form Driss perspective about Philippe's life. Philippe's heartbreak, laugh, rejuvenation, new profound view for life, through Driss. That was it.That's all that needed for the story. Coming to the remade version. They included too much nonsense into the movie. Every main character has a backstory. There was no need for that. They prolonged the movie for more than 2 hours, just for the sake of prolonging it. The unnecessary romance between seenu and Keerthi, and a little too much of Prasad character, totally made the movie a regular old "telugu movie formula" cliché. Maybe the movie would be fine for the fresh viewer, who haven't watched the original version. Maybe, that was they were going for, or, they lost the entire plot. Both the main characters, Nagarjuna and karthi, did there best, but, that wasn't enough for the plot at hand. There wasn't anything special from both Tamannaah and Prakash Raj. Well, all in all, if you haven't seen the original version(The Intouchables), i suggest you give that one a chance before watching the remake(Oopiri). In my personal view, The Intouchables did justice for both the movie, and to the real life story of an incredible friendship. All Oopiri did was, a glorification of the movie actors, in an attempt to make a buck as an investment process.

A nice feel good movie which engages the attention for most of the part. Well acted, tightly edited with good screen play, story and minimal masala (but high on Entertainment), this movie has lot going in its favor to make it worthwhile watch.Unlike many other films, the producers have credited the source as remake of a French movie, rather than lifting and passing it off as their creation. Karthi as the aimless parolee with a tough exterior covering a caring person is standout. He carries the weight of the movie and is a scene stealer. Giving him good company is Nagarjuna who is charming as the invalid bound to wheel chair. He has to use his face and eyes especially to express the emotions as per the role and greatly complements Karthi. Others in the cast like Tamannah etc give good support. The scenes in Paris and external locations are well shot and add a interesting dimension to the plot. Big Thumbs up!

I have watched The Intouchables a long time ago and I loved that movie for its depiction of the relationship between the Wealthy man and his care taker. When I heard it was being remade, I initially thought that the movie won't make it good on screen. But after seeing the movie, my thought changed completely!Pros: Altered Script - the main theme of the movie stays the same. But the way the script has been adjusted to suit the South Indian Audience deserves a mention. Also, there was no considerable lag in the screenplay.Dialogs - Deserves the applause! Easily the backbone of the movie. The dialogs weren't melodramatic but was sentimental at some places and brought humor to the screen when required.Casting - Pretty much good. Karthi-Nagarjuna combo steals the show here!Cons: Ooops!! Sorry nothing to mention. I was just happily enjoying the movie and failed to notice tiny flaws. This is one of the most credibly remade movie ever in South Indian cinema. Watch it and enjoy the experience.

Oopiri it's a rare film with a different story which we see in Telugu film industry. Hats off to King Nagarjuna and Karthi for their performances and especially the director for picking Nag and Karthi for the lead roles.It's a feel good movie, with loads of fun n comedy in Karthi style with Prakash Raj,Tamanna. Nagarjuna did a daring role where his role is to stick to a chair, he was apt for this role and Tamanna is gorgeous and her own voice is good. Vamsi paidipally directed the movie so well and cinematography was so good. It's a must watch and one will regret if they miss out to watch it in Silver screen.
