How Tamil cinema's remake culture has evolved across generations

Tamil cinema sees a decline in remakes. Multilingual releases gain popularity. Earlier, remakes adapted stories to Tamil culture. 'Manichitrathazhu' became 'Chandramukhi'. Now, films are dubbed or translated. Cultural nuances are sometimes lost. Directors like R Kannan and Mohan Raja share remake experiences. The older generation brought uniqueness. Today's approach is faster. The ability to retell stories with impact is missing.
