When I learned that "Vikram Vedha" would be recreated in Hindi, even with the same directors, I must admit that I was really uneasy. Pushkar-cop-and-robber Gayatri's movie from 2017 in Tamil was fantastic, and I thoroughly loved it. Vijay Sethupathi as the mobster just blew me away, and R Madhavan was great as the officer. This was the product of artists who were clearly adept at both the creation of visuals and the evocation of emotions within those images.

Vikram Vedha had a great time because to the quick pacing, the undercurrent of humour, the clever plotting that made light of its density, and all of it layered by that upbeat theme song.

Even if the Hindi remake isn't quite as fantastic as the original, it isn't at all horrible. Not simply the first animation strip in Tamil, which tells the story of Vikram and Betaal from "Betaal Pachchisi," has more developed characters and gives the supporting actors more to work with. The lead pair has more swag than swagger, which is crucial and makes all the difference. Although they have comparable smart-alecky lines, Saif Ali Khan's cop's beefed-up weight is attracted more attention to than R Madhavan's huge frame, and Hrithik's nearly-dreadlocks are more artistically teased out than Sethupathi's straight-up grey stubble.

However, after some time of getting used to the Kanpur-Lucknow Hindi dialects and settling into their roles, both Saif and Hrithik start to enjoy themselves. Of course, phrases like "baudam," "budbak," "chaukas," and "bauraa gaye ho ka" are scattered about, calling attention to not just themselves but the actors who are made to say them. Both are excellent options. And now, after a lengthy wait, two A-list actors begin to immerse themselves in a proper narrative that is presented to them rather than the other way around. It has taken "outsiders" like Pushkar-Gayatri, whose online series "Suzhal" has been one of the greatest offerings on the web this year, to demonstrate that Hindi film has forgotten how to achieve this.

A couple things were unrealistic even in the initial version. Though the cop's wife representing the unholy was a wonderful touch, her dance-a-deux with the devil lacked plausibility. Radhika Apte plays the 'vakeel' who makes out with her officer husband in this scene, reprising Shraddha Srinath's character. The supporting cast members, including Vedha's younger brother Shatak (Saraf), Vikram's coworker and close buddy Abbas (Mishra), and his close friend Chanda (Bihani), all serve the two main players. Despite this, Sharib Hashmi, who plays Vedha's grouchy right-hand guy, jumps out, as a fine actor usually does.
