Purely Joyful Movie!

A Brilliant Conflict

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Puli is good try with extraordinary movie of Vijay sir and team. I liked it very much and enjoyed well, felt like new world during the movie.This movie is the one that fantastic history of Indian film industry and we should very proud of Vijay and Puli team.Sri Devi's wonderful beauty and full energetic acting is very appreciated after long gap and other beautiful queen's also performed well in their roles.Thanks to all VFX team and visualized graphic efforts with Vijay and all other roles who acted in this movie.This movie can be enjoyable by all family and kids. All of them visit this movie in theatres not from some pirated version.

Good: Vijay took a huge risk to act in a fully based fantasy film in tamil cinema industry.This is a great effort to bring tamil cinema to the next level.Bad: Storyline is average and chimbudevan didn't do well in terms of the story as compared to his previous movies(etc 23 pulikesi,IrumbuKottai).Another defect to the movie is the music which could not bring the audience to the fantasy world.Overall: If you go watch the movie without much expectation,it will be good.But too much of expectation will results in disappointment.Anyway good news for vijay fans as vijay 59th movie shooting progress has been made fast as fans are not satisfied with puli.I AM WAITING

No Words to say, simply superb movie, excellent VFX work, without them movie will complete,Hats off to them, Awesome screen play by Director, fight sequences are superb, Giant Tortoise, Lilliput and giant one eye man are really interesting scenesLike every movies, this movie also has some drawback like Story line could be made strong, otherwise everything was Awesome,This is really a new attempt to Vijay sir, you were awesome and extraordinary performance,Sridevi acting was awesomeObviously two roses done their performance perfectly,

Expectations for Puli where humongous, some where in peoples minds especially after watching the trailer they where excepting Puli to be on Baahubali's level, but such expectations in most cases end up disappointing the viewers. And sadly this is the case with Puli. However Puli isn't a bad film, both if you look at the film in accordance to the fantasy genre then, Puli is a very amateurish film. I know not many Indian films have ventured into the fantasy genre before, but thats not a excuse Puli can use , the film had a budget of 100cr+ , and the best Indian technicians worked on the VFX. Puli also boasts of a star cast which includes Superstar Vijay, but even he wasn't utilized to his full potential, he could of at least pleased his fans. Even the big stars likes of Sri Devi and Sudeep have been wasted. But don't get me completely wrong I enjoyed parts of the film, like the comedy etc, but on the whole the film is ambitious, but its also very clichéd, and backed by a poor script, and a slow pace,but more on that later.Story wise the film is set in a fantasy world where demonic people named Vedhalams rule the land that once normal humans had in there control. They rule 50+ villiages, and one of those villages is where Marudheeran is born, he was found by the village chief Vembunathan in the river as a newborn.When Marudheeran grows up he has a lot of vengeance towards the Vedhalams who killed his foster sister at a young age, and he sees how the Demons rule the land by forcing the villagers to pay tax or face death. But he hides pain in his comedy and laughter. Until one day the Vedhalams kidnap his wife, and kill his father. Marudheeran then swears to finish the Vedhalams reign. But for that to happen he has to face up against the witch queen Vedhalapuram and her strong commander in chief Jalatharangan. How Marudheeran combats the queen and her evil reign is what makes up the rest of the plot.Acting wise Vijay is at his comic best for the most of the film, but in the climax he pulls up his socks and performs some kick ass action. Sri Devi was good,but she only appears in the film after the intermission, and her role could have been better written. Sudeep play the typical villain with elan. Shruti Hassan and Hansika Motwani add the glamour quotient.The first half of Puli acts as a comedy, and while its effective in getting laughs, it not what you except from a film which is supposed to be a Magnus opus. In the second half the fantasy element kicks in, and there are a couple of good VFX scenes like the turtle scene, the panther fight sequence, and the intro to Sri Devi. But most of the VFX was very unimpressive,like the one eyed monster etc looked very amateurish.And the story was that of any regular masala entertainer, clichéd, predictable, and not good enough for a film of this magnitude.The films length also needs to be chopped.Overall Puli is a amateurish attempt. at making a good Indian fantasy film, the film had nothing special about it all. But the Director Chimbu Devan's ambition needs to be applaud because he tried something different, and a couple of sequences were okay, and I also had some good laughs in the film too. However Puli is a film that will please Vijay fans mostly, the rest wait for the DVD to release.2.5/5* or 5/10
