PULI - Ilayathalapathy VIJAY| Sruthi Haasan | Sudeep | Chimbudevan | DSP |

Watched last night. Went to cinema expecting a utter flop so the movie exceeded my expectations. Surprisingly my family said its watchable. During interval all kids were phrasinh the movie so there is some hope for lenghty run here in uk.

Coming to the movie, i felt first half was very slow and had some unecessary scenes - some of the comedy scenes did not work at all. The journey to vedhalam castle could have come much earlier in the movie.

Flashback vijay was not needed at all. Murdering sister and adopted family should have been enough for a revenge set up of second half and it feels like they pushed the boat too much.

+ vijays guts
+ sridevi
+ cg

- out of place songs
- 1st half comedy scenes
- slow first half
- shruthi and vijay voice modulation

Overall, watchable for daring attempt. 2.75/5
