Puli Review

The wait is over and result is out…Sweet result would have a made the longing lovelier…But there are times a bitter outcome would drain your dreams. ‘Puli’ is one such movie that kept millions of people counting the days…and the final reaction is something beyond the imagination…

Here’s some chit chat on good and bad…What all went wrong and what was intended!!

Plot: ‘Puli’ is the movie about the sincere police for whom the duty is the prime and society his temple. Movie is all about his “Puli Team” a special team to keep an eye on police department and there by safeguard the interests of common man. In the process he has a tiff a business tycoon Alsalem (Manoj Bajpai).

Abba Chaa!!

Many might have had the hint when the trailers are out…but shocking thrills await us from the very beginning…when

Puli’s mother trains him to march “Left Right” when he is in her womb.

Sooner he grows, Puli starts climbing from Helicopter and then jumps on from one skyscraper to other. Not so later he pierces the bullets with the sword.

He is not just man of action as he frequently has war of words with the villain where each of their kidding argument occupies 20 minutes of screen time.

Then he is “chaaala chaaala!!” smart while he traces the goons just by their voice

But poor puli is outwitted by his lady love who plays a fresh drama each time, once to love him (she disguises as lady police)...next to marry him (she acts as she is in the death bed!!) and third again tests our patience just to sleep with him… (creates artificial thunders and rain!!!)

Scenes jump without continuity and songs creep in without a warning…Add additional graphics where in the whole screen has a ripple effects and sometimes the checker boxes.

Noble theme and Things that should have been Nice...

Beneath the odds are the ideal thoughts of Pawan Kalyan. Yes the first time I am taking the name of Power star in this article, because all that is good is only and only for his presence. He struggles hard to bring forth the significance of police. He stresses on the responsibility of a citizen to achieve happier future. He questions the corrupt politicians and shouts at media for making circus of human values.

Songs given by AR Rehman are no doubt superb in aural but are suppressed at least by a half visually. Production values are rich enough than they are required to be

Pawan the savior and Surya the spoiler …

No arguments for Pawan looked more innocent and honest…and is lot more fresh in this flick. His costumes designed by his better half Renu are cool throughout. He is slower enough while delivering the dialogues and wittier enough in many a scenes. But he should have not let many things happen.

SJ Surya who still boasts of Kushi sprinkled mud on Pawan's ideologies. Pick up a song...Pick up a scene that is not made a laughing riot. He made the Puli…beyond what Palanati Brahmanaidu is for Balayya and a Varudu for Allu Arjun. Lesser we speak, better it is and it should be the last ever Telugu movie he directs without doubt.

Had it been directed by likes of VVinayak result would have been different

Other Stars...

Nikisha patel is appealing and funny. But should get luckier in her next visit.

Saranya as Pawans mother got louder role after a calm one in Vedam. Nazer is the next best to Pawan.

Manoj bajpai is adequate and struggled hard...Charan Raj is fine...

Watch it in group!! If ever you need to

Pawan fans might capture the glimpse of their beloved. They might be able to grasp his noble intention that is suppressed by all the odds….

His anti fans would love this one as it is food for all the satires and online spoofs for a century to come…

Don’t be alone but watch in group if at all coz we loved doing it…with innumerous laughs and counter comments from audience

Or Just add Sept 10^th to the September 11^th in the history and forget that movie has been released.

Rating:

hmmm...tough one though but a 2 for Pawan alone and intentions beneath...
