The much-awaited "Puli" starring Ilayathalapathy Vijay was released on Thursday, 1 October. The mega-budget film, which was expected to be the next "Baahubali", has got mixed reviews from the audience.
"Puli" comes as a welcome change for Vijay fans, who are used to his action-oriented masala films. The latest movie belongs to the fantasy-adventure genre and the actor has not done this kind of movie earlier.
The movie has an ensemble cast. While Vijay plays the main lead in the flick, Kannada superstar Kiccha Sudeep plays the role of an antagonist and yesteryear sensation actress Sridevi Kapoor essays an important role too.
Shruti Haasan and Hansika Motwani are the two female leads in the flick, which has been written and directed by Chimbu Deven. Vijay's former manager PT Selvakumar has graduated to the role of a producer with "Puli". He has collaborated with Shibu Thameens to bankroll the project, which is made with the budget of above Rs 100 crore.
Story & Review:Yamanadevi is the Queen of Vedalapuram. But she is a puppet in the hands of cruel commander Jaladarangan played by Sudeep, who has set his eyes on the throne. On the other end, we are introduced to Marudheeran (Vijay), who leads a happy life with his sweetheart Pavala Malli (Shruti Haasan) in a nearby village.
At some point, Pavala Malli is abducted and Marudheeran's foster father Vembunathan (Prabhu) is killed by Vedalam clan. How Marudheeran saves his sweetheart Pavalamalli (Shruti Haasan) is narrated in the second half.
Vijay is highly impressive in his role and his screen presence is the biggest strength of the movie. Sudeep has a fantastic opening but his character is not well-defined. Sridevi is elegant and Shruti Haasan will be seen in a glamorous role. The technical team like VFX and music have played major roles in making the film a quality movie. On the negative side, the film lacks good screenplay. In the end, it has just turned out to be an average outing.
Average Ratings Given by Audience: 2.5
