Every film industry goes through a period called "The Remake Phase." Hindi Cinema had its phase in the '80s by remaking Telugu hits that predominantly starred Jitendra. Most of Rajinikanth's movies during the mid-'80s were remakes of Amitab Bachan's classics such as Deewar and Lawaaris.Malayalam cinema also underwent a similar phase during the '70s and early '80s with films like Naayattu(1980) and Pathamudayam(1985) were remakes of Deewar and Kalicharan.


If there existed a rule on movies that cannot be remade then Ithu Nammude Katha would fall on the list of movies that breached this code. Directed by debutant Rajesh Kannankara the film was a remake of Samuthirakani's Nadodigalwhich starred Sasikumar, Vijay Vasanth, Bharani, Ananya, Abhinaya, and Ganja Karuppu. The story is about a group of youngsters who put their lives at risk to help one of their friends elope and later face the aftermath of that incident was no else than a heist film.


Sriram Raghavan's brilliant take on the genre of neo-noir thrillers was one of his all-time best. Apart from the debut of Neel Nithin Mukesh, the powerhouse casting choices included with Dharmendra, Zakir Hussain, Rimi Sen, Vinay Pathak. The film swept into success and rewrote the way thriller movies were to be made thereafter. Renowned director Sibi Malayil made a rather successful adaptation in Malayalam that included a unique star cast like Asif Ali, Sreenivasan, Rima Kallingal, Lal, Nedumudi Venu. Unnam was a middling remake that remained true to its Hindi original but it gives the pleasure of watching well-known Malayalam veteran stars play characters with grey shades.
