Puli

Synopsis

Puli is a fantasy but its failing is that it is told in an amateur fashion. The film works as a visual extravaganza, but it fails to entertain.

Summary / Analysis - Puli

Spoiler alert! Please do not read the following plot summary if you have not seen the film.
PLOT SUMMARY

Puli (Tiger) is a fantasy adventure that tackles the age-old belief that good always triumphs over evil. The Ancient kingdom is under the rule of the powerful queen (Sridevi) and her clever Marshal (Sudeep) who like to control the people with their twisted ways. Puli or Magadheera(Vijay) who goes in search of his loved one Pawanmali(Shruti Haasan) to Sridevi's palace not only brings his wife back he also fights the evil queen and kills her cunning marshal.

In the palace, Mandakini, the princess born to Sridevi falls for Magadheera. However, he loves only his childhood friend Pawanmali whom he has secretly married before she was kidnapped. ‘Puli’(Tiger) revolves around the intense rivalry between a cruel queen and a virtuous warrior who ends her reign of terror, frees the King of the Betals and brings back happiness to the villagers around.

Treated like an action fantasy, the film offers spectacular visuals of an imposing palaces, gushing water-falls, green forests and some great song and dance sequences.
