Balachander praises Golmaal remake

The Tamil filmmaker K Balachander applauded the efforts of the makers of the recently released Thillu Mullu, a remake of his own film of the same name starring Rajinikanth. The 1981 film was an official remake of the Hindi classic comedy Golmaal, featuring Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt. "I'm happy that the makers have turned my film into a commercial entertainer. The remake is completely new but Badri [the director] has done it in such a way that it's relevant to the current generation," said Balachander.
