Amma Kanakku ---> Drama Genre !!
Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction ----> Remakes always need a apt Casting and very good dialogue writer !! If not that feel will be gone !!
Amma Kanaku falls under this category !! It has a Very good story and even screenplay but the problem is some poor casting and dialogues !!
Due to poor casting characters doesn't have impact so we get that artificial feel and automatically emotional connect becomes less !!
Thozha is very good example where Raju Murugan ( Director of Cuckoo and Joker) did a brilliant job and as a result remake of the movie becomes simple and effectual !!
Climax was another ROFL ... Nearly 85% script is perfect and I don't know why needed to have that type of cliched philosophical climax !!
Casting and Acting ---> Amala Paul was superb and only one thing which I can't understand is the make up!! She is acting as maid but what is the need a glossy make up ? In the film as a Daughter to Amala Paul Abhinaya did an outstanding job with her expressions and acting !!
But the show killer was Samuthurakani. Being a director himself and a National Award winner it was even sickening to see that type of performance from him.
Music , Cinematography and Editing ---> Isaiyin Appa did a decent job but Periya effect illa ... DOP was neat and pakka and Editing was perfect !!
Rating -- 2.5/5 !! Good intent but fails in execution !! Casting and dialogues doesn't have a necessary impact !!
