இளமை இனிமேல் போகாது...முதுமை உனக்கு வாராது

I am simply dumbfounded as to what Vasu has been able to achieve here. Sure, Thalaivar looked better in Chandramukhi when compared to Baba. But then Shankar raised the bar to a never before seen level with Sivaji. Apart from the concern that what Vasu will do the screenplay of the original, the only other concern I had for Kuselan was this - will P. Vasu will be able to match Shankar and even come close to the way Thalaivar was shown in Sivaji, thanks to Shankar? The answer seems to be an emphatic YES. In fact, in some of the stills, Vasu has indeed outdone Shankar, in that, Thalaivar looks ever so young in those few pictures. The response from Thalaivar fans has been along wonderful with most of them going to the extent of saying Thalaivar looks better here than what he looked in Sivaji.

The fact that the date of the audio release (July 1) and the movie release (July 25) have been announced is another cause for celebration. To complete a movie that is being shot in 2 languages with completely different cast (except the 3 main characters) in 82 days is definitely praiseworthy. Vasu has delivered what was expected of him. Now, if he can match this accomplishment with a movie that does some justice to the original but while at the same time satisfy the expectations of Thalaivar's legions of fans, he would have delivered the unexpected. Here's hoping for the same.
