The splendid production design by Muthuraj for all the interiors, the strong VFX work by Kamalakannan and team, the intricate work done on the extravagant costumes, robes and other royal accessories, the numerous sword fight sequences, the lush outdoor locations and the overall grandeur in DoP Natty's visuals count among Puli's numerous plus points.ĭevi Sri Prasad's work on the RR serves the purpose and his orchestration is heavy and dramatic, befitting the film's genre. Whenever he looks at the screen and interacts with his audience, they go wild in delight.

He is 41, can you believe it? Though the film is quintessentially Chimbu Deven in the way it plays out, there are sharp punch dialogues, action scenes and mass moments dedicated to Vijay's fans, which they ought to lap up big time. His fast dance moves in the opening 'Puli Puli' song are jaw-dropping indeed. The naughty, cheeky, flirty side of Vijay is also on view here, and Puli is an easy outing for this experienced star. We get to see Vijay as youthful and well-groomed as ever and thanks to his fit and agile frame, he doesn't look odd in his regal costumes. Even animals and birds have a sizable part to play, and there is also a neat twist thrown into the mix towards the end. This journey is packed with enjoyable adventure, fantasy and fun elements, and Vijay safely navigates his way with his sidekicks for company. The story is pretty simple with Vijay playing Marudheeran, a young man who takes up a mission, against the rulers of the land, to get back his lady love.

With practical restrictions, he also has pulled off a project of such a scale quite effectively. Despite having a huge star like Vijay on board, Chimbu plays to his strengths in Puli and we have many of the director's trademark touches and quirks. Marketed and branded as a grand fantasy ride, the Chimbu Deven directed Puli hits the screens today after facing a few minor release hiccups over the past day or so.
