‘Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam’ is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. It is the Tamil adaptation of the popular Hindi TVF series ‘Panchayat’ and fans think that the adaptation is perfect. The reason behind not just dubbing the show and doing a new version in Tamil was to make it more relatable and reachable to the audiences. ‘Panchayat’ went on to be such a raging success because of its unprecedented relatability with the rural audiences. And when it comes to North-and-South, the dimensions of relatability will obviously change a lot. So the makers tried to infuse exclusive Tamil nuances to the show, and looks like they were quite successful.
Audiences say that they are satisfied with the remake and it is a decent and faithful adaptation. It accommodates the Tamil sensibilities perfectly and allows the innocence of the original show.
The lead cast is extremely suitable to the story and Abhishek Kumar, Chetan, Devdarshini have given beautiful performances. Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam does not look like a fake attempt for monetising an already popular show. It has its drawbacks but is still sincere and gets the emotions right. The show will probably be as big as Panchayat is for Hindi audiences.
Netizens say that this is how an adaptation must be done. Sincerity and genuine efforts combined with talent coming up to deliver a story that will relate to rural audiences, that was what Panchayat was, and Thalaivettiyaan Paalayam keeps its soul alive.
