Nerkonda Paarvai: How H Vinoth's commercialised version of Pink made the source material more accessible to Tamil audiences

Firstpost  

From time immemorial in Tamil cinema, very few actors have been brave enough to step down from their starry avatars once in a while and do a film that shuns any preconceived notions about their image. After Superstar Rajinikanth’s decision to work with director Pa. Ranjith on two occasions, one announcement that was at the cynosure of all eyes was Ajith’s choice to remake the Bollywood courtroom drama Pink with the two-film-old director H Vinoth, who made everyone sit up and take notice of his work in the highly acclaimed investigative thriller Theeran Adhigaaran Ondru. While Amitabh Bachchan pulled off the role of advocate Deepak Sehgal with consummate ease, director Vinoth had to bring certain changes to the character for a star like Ajith, who is more than twenty years younger than Big B in real life and is at the peak of his career right now. Director Vinoth sets the record straight with the film’s opening scene which clearly indicates audiences that they are going to watch a slightly commercialised version of Pink. With a handful of carefully constructed twenty-eight minutes of additional runtime compared to the original, director Vinoth has tailored a mainstream version of Pink to make the source material more accessible and to reach out to Ajith’s massive fanbase.
