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.
