Story:

Puli is the story of a sincere and focused police officer. Komaram Puli (Pawan kalyan) is an IPS officer and saves Prime minister from getting killed. He then forms a Team called Puli Team to restrict the crime rate and help the needful. Al Saleem (Manoj Bajpai) is a don and Puli suspects his hand in the murder attempt of The PM. How Puli Solves the case forms the rest.

Performances:

Pawan kalyan has come up with rocking performance and suited well to the role of Ideal Police officer. Nikesha Patel is passable; she has a small role and is okay. Saranya impresses with her performance. Manoj Bajpai tops once again with his body language and mannerisms. The fight sequences and action episodes are of poor quality and below average. Art Direction and Cinematography are okay. Music by Rahman is Average. Screenplay is gripping and Dialogues are clap worthy. Direction is good.

Analysis:

The Hit combination of Kushi---Pawan kalyan and S.J.Surya--- are back but with a different genre. The team has come up with a message oriented emotional story this time. SJ.Surya tried something different (out of board in many Scenes) from regular commercial format narration (Scenes). He tried to narrate the movie through emotions which come out in the form of heavy dialogues. Dialogues wise the Director has done a fantastic Job. I can’t mention a few of them as they are in a large number. But there are some Scenes which have come out well.

1) Saranya giving birth to a child
(teaching him how to march-Left & Right)

2) Pawan’s speech when is awarded with a medal

3) Pawan and Charan Raj combination Scene in the park where master Bharath says that Saleem has done the bombings

4) Manoj Bajpai and Pawan kalyan combination Scenes(challenge Scenes and car Towing from No parking Zone)

5) Saranya delivering emotional dialogues in presence of Manoj Bajpai

6) Pawan’s Speech to media when Nassar passes away

7) Pawan’s extra ordinary performance in the pre-Climax episode

If you have missed Chiranjeevi’s “Rudranetra”, “Yuddhabhoomi” , “Marana Mrudhangam” and “Trinetrudu” then no issues you can watch Pawan firing with more sophisticated Guns here. The fight Sequences are filled with more of firing episodes than action thrilled. Pawan Kalyan’s Introduction fight Sequence is substandard with poor wire work and visual effects. There are some silly (villain giving current Shock to Pawan in climax) and funny –illogic Scenes which the team could have taken care off, There are some Scenes shot in Bangkok and abroad and the immediate Scene shot in a Studio referring it as Hyderabad City. The Screenplay is clumsy at times (Poor editing). The art Direction is okay and the cinematography is mediocre.

Sequence of Songs:--

1) Nammakamey(Chitra, Madhushree, Harini)----- Picturised as an emotional background song in the beginning of the movie shot on Saranya

2) Maaralante( AR Rahman, KMMC)----- Comes as a background song/montages shot on Pawan’s Puli Team formation and their activities

3) Maham Maaye(Javed Ali,Suchitra)----- Duet Picturised on Nikesha and Pawan

4) Amma Thalley(Naresh Iyer, Swetha Mohan)----- Duet picturised on Nikesha and Pawan

5) Dochey(Shreya Goshal, Lady Kash N Krissy)----- item song picturised on Sriya

6) Power star (Vijay Prakash, Tanvi Shah)----- Duet picturised on Pawan and Nikesha, song with good timing in which Pawan shakes his leg.


The Film boasts mainly of fantastic performances by all, Manoj Bajpai and Saranya stand out of them Nassar is good. Ali is wasted. Nikesha appears in a couple of love Scenes followed by Songs. Hero-Heroine Love thread is disturbing and definitely a distraction to the flow of the film. Sriya has done guest appearance which includes a song. SJ Surya does a cameo as a police officer. Music by Rahman is Average and it looked just okay on the Screen. The Background Score is commendable. Dialogues are sharp and straight forward (even though lengthy and preachy).

Pawan kalyan looked handsome and performed with much ease, the emotional Scenes got elevated due to his performce. SJ Surya needs a pat on his back for picking such a weak story line yet engaging the Audiences with high emotional content. The direction is good and both the director and Pawan should be commended for the sincere and daring attempt. Fans who expect Pawan to romance with heroine and provide some fun and entertainment with his typical Mannerisms may get disappointed.

We have to wait and watch how this message oriented and thought provoking movie will be received by the mass crowds.

Plus: Pawan’s performance, Dialogues, emotional Content

Minus: Weak Story line, Average Music

Verdict: One Man Show- Pawan Rocks, Good attempt made to make a message oriented flick with a weak story line
