Puli (2015)

An fantasy movie which can be watched by all audience. The script isn't absolutely new or fabulous but still it is very much engaging. Chimbu Devun has come up with a very different story line. He deserves distinction marks for thinking up an engrossing screenplay which has masala for the audience and yet is not frivolous.

As might be evident, the first half of Puli isn't exactly riveting. It teeters between funny, spectacular and tragic, depending upon how keen-eyed the viewer is and how much acting is required of the cast. Chimbu Devn gives us a terrific interval point, and the film moves briskly in its second half. Though this swashbuckling adventure relies heavily on CGI and VFX, it doesn't lack emotional resonance. Computer graphics, animation and visual effects are top notch. Production and technical values are grand. Cinematography is excellent. The music is decent and works well in the films. The editing should have been better though.

Vijay shines in each and every scene of the film. He brings much by way of performance through his sheer intensity. We could not imagine anyone else playing this role with such ease. Sudeep does what he is famous for. Shruti Hassan looks pretty and acts well. Hanski Motwani does a decent job in her short presence. But it is Sridevi who steals the show with her brilliant performance. Her stunning and never seen before avatar will mesmerize the audience.

Story

Fmovies: There is nothing much to write about this movie. A predictable storyline with no redeeming factor whatsoever. One of Vijay's worst show so far. He looks absolutely wooden. The ever reliable DSP has churned out the worst music. A black mark for Sudeep too. But the shock for me is that Sridevi decided to be a part of this movie. The director should be commended for getting the worst out of stalwarts. The VFX at some rare places is good but mostly amateurish. I would have rated this movie higher if it was made with newcomers. But with such great names on the cast and crew list, this should get negative stars. A much hyped movie with no substance and zero entertainment value, avoid by all means.

Films like this make the Indian films look bad. This is the worst film from Tamil film industry in a while, even though not from Vijay. He made even worst films than this. This film underestimated the viewers in a deep level and checks the patience at high level.

I seen the film but I didn't like a bit from it. Not even the graphics because it doesn't matter for a film like this with the poor story and script. The story is usual revenge film includes killing parents, kidnapping lover(s),item songs,exploiting feminine dances, etc. is not at all interesting. Puli had high resemblance with the BAAHUBALI in a very bad way even though it is an adventure fantasy film. Directors like Chimbudevan must see films like BAAHUBALI to get an idea about the current path and quality of Indian films. Even if it take in Tamil film standard Puli will be the black sheep because Tamil films is peak at its film's variety, quality and intelligent. This Puli is enriched with cheap Humors, bad actions and non sensing punch dialogs. It looks like a pollachi made film with bad dress.

Please guys learn a lesson from this film and please not encourage them to make this kinda films for the sake of existence of film industry.

Puli fmovies. Just clueless work done by the director.. Can appreciate Vijay for attempting something different in his career. But not matured enough. Music by DSP is complete disaster i should say. Forgettable movie for Vijay, worst than Sura. Shruthi voice is really not good to hear. Hansika was gorgeous though wasted by using for 1 song. Sridevi will definitely regret for opting this movie over Bahubali. Sudeep's potential unused.

Chimbu Devan being an director of historical movies failed even in costume design and script. very childish & dragging characters used.

Even VJ fans where not satisfied after seeing movies like Thupakki and Kathi.

Somewhat OK movie,can be a good one for Vijay fans but definitely not for others,visuals are fine but not PTO Baahubali' s level,same old story with very few unpredictable moments but very average time- passer,but a new try in Fantasy genre but certainly over-hyped.VJ,Sridevi,Sudeep,Shruti,Prabhu impress. Does not seem to justify its budget.Chimbudevan deserves an applause for trying to do something new but this movie definitely does not satisfy expectations.But certainly a new tryout for VJ also.His dance moves were better than the movie itself.A lazily told big budget fantasy action adventure that does not pack a punch.

Often Indian cinema is sheer fantasy, trying to spin the unbelievable into a story and script. And some Tamil films -- at least those that step into the genre of fantasy -- can be just unbearable to watch. Vijay, fantasy adventure Puli, despite all the hype it created in its release weeks, is utterly disappointing.There is one scene early on in the movie where the general chops off the arm of a man (Prabhu) who had been courageous enough to seek the Queen's help to end the tyranny. It reminded me of Gabbar Singh and that famous shot where he decapitates Thakur's arm. But Sudeep is no Amjad Khan.At 154 minutes, Puli is swamped with songs -- some of them titillating skins shows, and a few others, a mere ploy to get Maru Dheeran and his lover, Pavazhamani (Shruti Haasan), together on a romantic high. But there is little chemistry between the two, Vijay's stiffness and Haasan's laboured dialogue delivery making it just about impossible for Cupid to strike any real note.
