Kutti Puli is primarily about a rural roughie with a heart of gold and his obsessively loving, caring mom who would go to any lengths for his sake. She wishes to get him married soon and we have Bharati as the female love interest. Puli starts off as one who is dead against getting married due to his own rough ways but Bharati inevitably brings about a change in his mindset. Now does Puli manage to stay clear of the baddies who are baying for his blood and settle down in life?

What’s Hot

  • Saranya Ponvannan can patent mother roles and it’s almost second nature for her to play such roles. Watch out for the twist to her role in the end.
  • Sasikumar tries hard to play the rural rough mass hero and partially succeeds thanks to his prior experience at such roles. But he is repeating himself too much.
  • A few of the songs are melodious such as Aruvaakkaaran but haven’t been used well at all.

What’s Not

  • Lakshmi Menon lacks the spark seen in her earlier roles and she has nothing to do. Hardly a few dialogues.
  • The nonsense in the name of romance and comedy by the band of roadside romeos is a big bore and lets the film down, big time.
  • Ghibran’s background score packs so many old songs and it gets annoying and irritating beyond a point watching the film with full-length old songs running in the background.
  • Sasikumar tries to play the smart romantic by going for a slick urban makeover in a small portion of the film and this one is hardly entertaining either.
  • Even with the climax nearing, the screenplay is filled with buffoonery before the inevitable action in the end. The ending is typically violent, bloody and unsettling.
  • There is a sudden message in the end about goddesses of protection and how females can turn vigilantes if needed. The director must have felt that his film has turned out really stale and must have forced this message just for novelty’s sake.

Verdict

Verdict Stamp

The worst Sasikumar movie by a mile. Regressive, clichéd and has nothing going for it. AVOID
