This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

On the spolight in leading roles: Vijay, Sudeep and Sridevi. After a teaser that hits and two briliant announcements (trailers), the film results in a pale copy of Hollywood movies from the 80's a gender like "The Neverending Story" by Wolfgang Petersen, US-Germain production. I would say that the aesthetic side, unoriginal, takes over the scenario which is not with real foundations! The "Madrasi" director: Chimbu Deven, should have taken more time to refine, in sculpting all the pieces in terms of funds and souls especially when you got legend actors served on a silver platter like Sridevi. Bad choice, greed or eager to play an evil queen? Sridevi has nevertheless declined, at the time the offer of Sri Srisaila director Rajamouli for Baahubali: The beginning, a huge international success which has blown up at any boxe office. The diva remains remarkable by her presence but she radiates in noway through her lines and the assigned role allegedly sold to her as decisive and "Key" is empty. Her character: Yavana Rani appears only an hour after the intermission. The thrilling moment is the final scene where she excels at will in a "mortal" combat.The film is told for young children, while there are scenes of a high degree of barbarity that the CSA in France could prohibit it under 8 years. Many inconsistencies even if one does not look for logic in a fantastic trip but common sense would have been rigorous in that story. The very secondary roles Shruti Hassan, cold and little locace (I would rather prefer to see Priya Anand in this role) Hansika Motwani is just right in her role as hot and cutesy princess. Both have roles devoid of depth with their dialogues they had better kept them mimic. Far from being a drawback: their dream and glamorous sequences are typical Kollywood including the not bad performance sequence by Hansika "Mannavanae Mannavanae" : epic and rhythmic. Vijay saved what could still be saved, thankfully! And that role suits him."Puli": why such a title? ("Tiger" in English) The tribe of tigers to which he belongs to is not explicitly highlighted and do not expect to see the metamorphosis of Vijay in feline, no way ! Romances, emotions and dreams are not forthcoming, no balance in this tale between Shrek and The Hobbit sprinkled with fights and violence at all costs. The songs are melodious nothing more, about the comic scenes, they are Indian, only "funny". The music sounds grandiose to suggest an atmosphere that does not reach our expectations ... It's a shame. If you are fans of Vijay, the movie is worth it, fans of Sudeep, stay awake because he is lacking of expressions, Sridevi fans, you will be disappointed at her part as she could make it more scenic amplitudes as performs a (witch) dance for instance or being much more involved into the plot, if plot there was. A suite ? I doubt ... It would be better not.

Long and uneven Fantasy Adventure. The film is a mixture of the awful and passable. Uneven but generally OK visual effects are counterbalanced by a dull overlong script. The lead actor seems to understand how unintentionally funny the whole thing is and his comedy works. Rest of the cast falls flat. Sridevi is utterly wasted in a hammy villainous role. The film pulls it's punches clearly afraid of antagonizing her fans. Disappointing.5/10

Good things First: I appreciate the first step of Tamil cinema, to try a different genre of movie. The Visual effects as usual is good but not top notch. The fantasy elements like Lilliputians, talking animals and giants were well done. Few action scenes are well shot. I am really happy that Tamil Cinema is striving for perfection in movie making.Now for where it lost the road - You can't do anything under the banner "Fantasy Film", which requires a gripping story, suspense elements that gives a thrilling experience to those who watch it on screen. Puli lacks it all. The hero of the film (Vijay) doesn't even fit the character, he hasn't done half of what he has done in some of his previous hit films. The 2 beauties Shruthi - who is just a sleeping princess the whole second half, and Hansika merely to fill in Shruthi's place in her absence, Apart from the dancing they play no role in the movie. Music is awful, is this Devi Sri Prasad can come up with for a "Fantasy Film"?, also the songs, they will fit well an usual commercial masala movie. This movie is nothing but a loosely knit story, with chosen elements from some of the well known fantasy films, and the usual antics of a commercial movies mixed and sprayed on the screen without any coherence for 2 and half hours. This movie seems to taunt the intelligence of film lovers. Vijay rescued as Baby parallels with the Perseus of Clash of Titans, Sridevi( the evil princess ) and her daughter Hansika parallels with Rachel and Mila of Oz the Great and Powerful, but the movie failed to parallel with anything.

This movie has all the element such romance, action, comedy and many more. First of all, viewers please don't compare this movie with Bahubali which created history in the box office. Both of these film are in a different genre and their storyline are equally comprehensive. Next, I would want to appreciate and salute ACTOR Vijay for experimenting Puli at his crucial career period than his usual masala film . The performance of the cast in the movie has executed their job brilliantly expect shruthi, hansika and nandhitha who I came as guest appearance in the movie which I felt. Vijay mannerism and powerful acting has stolen the show with the best VFX and graphics in the film . The best graphics and VFX has taken the film to the next level with a lot of adventure that makes the kids to love the film. From now Vijay would start to get more and more children fans. To summaries I would that the first half of the movie started slowly but towards the interval the movie picked up the hold till the end. Please do go watch the film with family or kids . If u have not is a must watch film. My rating for the film is 10/10. the only draw back in the movie was the the flash back which was pretty short.
