Kaithi directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj starring Karthi was a massive hit in Tamil and also in Telugu. This movie is a part of Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe (LCU) and we can see glimpse of it in Kollywood industry hit Vikram as well. This movie is now getting remade in Hindi, teaser of it has just released and discussions on it started.
Bholaa, the official remake of Kaithi in Hindi starring Ajay Devgn, Amala Paul and Tabu is seemingly much different from the original. The story appears to be the same, but there is more protracted divine elements of Lord Shiva. The look of the film is entirely different. The film will also have a 3D version as well, which is a fresh addition to this crime thriller.
Remaking a Tamil blockbuster in Hindi isn’t easy. Sensibilities and nativities change, Tamil movies tend to stay raw and rustic, true to the core emotions. However, Hindi cinema trying to replicate such movies follow their style with more stylized approach even at the expense of rootedness.
It’s not appropriate to analyze it too much with just the teaser, but it appears that Hindi cinema is taking a transition to appeal more to the Hindu/Hindi belt with godly elements. However, in Tamil cinema the emphasis was on the crime and thrilling elements. Have to see how Hindi moviegoers accept this movie, especially the ones who watched the original already.
The buzz is that Bollywood Megastar Salman Khan also might appear in the movie and will lead the sequel of Bholaa. Lokesh Kanagaraj has started LCU by mixing Kaithi, Vikram and with this news, it looks like Ajay Devgn and team are making their own universe in Hindi
