The best thing about the Tamil adaptation of Martin Prakkat s Charlie is that it makes us want to revisit the Malayalam film, like all good remakes do. It may be familiar material for the viewers of the original, but is different in its own regards. Jan 10, 2021 By Sreejith Mullappilly
Director Dhilip Kumar calls his Maara an adaptation of Martin Prakkat s 2015 Malayalam film Charlie . The film is essentially a remake of that Dulquer Salman and Parvathy Thiruvothu starrer, but I can see why Kumar terms it an adaptation. It is his way of saying that Maara is not a mere imitation.
