I must confess that I was deeply apprehensive when I heard that ‘Vikram Vedha’ was to be remade in Hindi, even if the helmers were going to be the same. The 2017 Tamil-language cop-and-robber movie, written and directed by Pushkar-Gayatri, was a trip: I enjoyed every bit of it. It had a crisp pace, the undercurrent of humour, the smart plotting which made light of its density, and all of it overlaid by that zippy theme tune, ‘Vikram Vedha’ was a cracking good time at the movies. The near-faithful Hindi remake isn’t half bad, even if it isn’t as good as the original.
