It seemed more of a hamming festival with each character doing a fabulous job-that of overacting. Right from the set to the costume to the dialogues and the songs, there didn’t seem to be one redeeming factor about this one. Puli has the finesse of fantasy films made in the 80s and the 90s. His friends manage to pull him out of the mess and get. 20 minutes down the film, I realised that comparisons of any sort, on any level was pointless as Puli just didn’t seem to carry the elaborate yet sensible (as much as a fantasy film can allow) story line. Disturbed by all that is happening around him, he sinks into the comfort of alcohol, bars and brothels.

Umm, what’s missing is, I guess, a story line, some sense, quality of production, good music, semi-decent dialogues, and some coherence.Īs much as I told myself that the trailer didn’t look half as magnanimous as that of Baahubali, the comparisons were bound to happen, if only because of the little gap between the release of the two films.

Puli in a para: Touted as a ‘fantasy-adventure film’, Puli has Vijay playing Magadheera, a warrior prince with Shruti Hassan playing his love interest, Sri Devi, in her elaborate costume (which in all its grandeur performs better than the wearer) as the wicked queen of the Vetals, Hansika as the princess and Sudeep as the evil commander.
