Performances
Vijay has worked hard to deliver the character with stunts and songs. As well as, Shruti Haasan attracts with her looks and has acted very well in a couple of scenes.
Meanwhile, Sudeep and Sridevi have presented extraordinary acting skills. Sudeep has been more than an evil person.
On the other hand, the performances of supporting actors have been decent. While, the comical sequences look good only in some parts of the film and the rests of it is in vain.
Technicalities
The highly buzzed VFX and CG shots that are employed in the film have really worked well giving pretty high-quality effects. That’s news to Tamil film industry as well as the audiences and will stay for a longer period.
Natty, the cinematographer of Puli has led the film to a masterpiece. The way, he has captured the scenes has elevated the level of the movie.
Muthuraj has deployed all of his art directorial skills to make this fantasy universe to come to existence. If the producers had invested more in the art department, then probably, it could have touched more heights.
The screenplay is picked up in the second half of the film. However, Chimbu Deven could’ve decided for a better screenplay for it.
Meanwhile, the background score by Devi Sri Prasad has reduced the quality of the film. It could have been far better to intensify the action sequences.
Overall View
Directed by Chimbu Deven, Puli is probably the first of its kind in the Tamil cinema. But, its average screenplay and mismatched songs, makes it a one-time watch only.
