Puli Reviews

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.

A 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.

After 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.

You 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.

Puli 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 .

Much on the lines of Bahubali, Puli is also a fantasy, adventure drama except that this one is an ordeal to sit through.

Certainly director-writer Chimbu Deven could have thought of something better than this juvenile romp into fantasy land.

Director Chimbu Deven is known for his simple, yet unconventional films, most of which have done quite well. But working with a mass hero like Vijay seems to have taken its toll.

Puli Stands up with amazing visuals and good performances from Sridevi and other lead cast. Vijay's fans may not like him in this particular flick, but Puli can be watched once for the visuals and effort put in.

Puli' has its moments but they're short-lived -- like the wonderful stretch where Vijay embarks on an Indiana Jones kind of adventure. It's a great idea that goes haywire in the execution.

Puli is a fantasy but its failing is that it is told in an amateur fashion.

Puli could have been an interesting film but a shoddy script and lose editing pull this film down.

Looking beyond few issues, Puli is a lavishly made mainstream fantasy entertainer with good visual effects which should be encouraged...

Kudos to director Chimbu Deven for bringing back the fantasy genre to Tamil cinema. However, his average screenplay and other technical faults makes Puli just a one time watch.

Vijay's film is a visual treat, but the screenplay is disappointing...Watch the film if you have nothing better to do this long weekend!
