'PARASITE' AND 'MINSARA KANNA'!


South Korean film 'Parasite' (2019) & Tamil film 'Minsara Kanna' (1999)

South Korean film 'Parasite' won this '92nd Oscar's four awards including 'Best Picture'!

But now here, in South Indian film industry..Tamil cine-goers finds some similarity between 'Parasite' & their 20 years old movie 'Minsara Kanna'! Came to know that, specifically fans of actor Vijay (who is hero of that film) are claiming this!

Tamil movie 'Minsara Kanna' (1999) is about wealthy young man who presents himself as poor and gets job in rich family to win his lady love. In this he manages to get his other family members to be employed with that rich family. M. A. Kennedy wrote and K. S. Ravikumar directed this.

And, South Korean Bong Joon-Ho directed film 'Parasite' (2019) tells the story of poor family (with need of jobs). In this, after a young boy of this family, other members of it also slowly enters into the lives of a wealthy family!

But, commercial film 'Minsara Kanna' was with slightly different romantic plot! Whereas, with different genre 'Parasite' explores the living of poor & rich in complex situations!

So what can we say in it?
