Puli movie review: what critics say (16)
What critics say Critics are largely negative: 0 of 16 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 9 gave it 2 or less. Criticised: the script and the visuals.
After the spectacular 'Baahubali', we were all set for an encore with 'Puli', yet another period fantasy from the South. But this one is a crashing bore.
Read the full reviewA crisper script and a lighter directorial hand is what are missing here. Alas, it's a fantasy film without any of the fun and excitement that ought to go with it.
Read the full reviewAfter all the buzz which Puli had generated, you would expect it to pounce on the audience. But Vijay's Puli crouches and crouches till you are bored to death.
Read the full reviewYou must have heard the caption 'Save the tiger'. Well this tiger aka Puli is sure to be hunted down by critics and I advice you to save yourselves and stay away from Vijay's Puli if you want to maintain your sanity.
Read the full reviewPuli walks on the wild side and doesn't seem to care about getting crushed. Don't look for Baahubali here. You will be better off .
Read the full reviewMuch on the lines of Bahubali, Puli is also a fantasy, adventure drama except that this one is an ordeal to sit through.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
