In the Tamil version, the setting of the film creates an immediate cognitive dissonance that is resolved through audio. Visually, the audience is presented with 18th-century French architecture, costumes, and aesthetics. There is no attempt to visually alter the setting to resemble India. However, the moment the characters speak, the "foreignness" is negotiated through language.
