I am stun after watching the movie. The first half of the movie is a very well made entertainer set on a different backdrop (rooster fights). The second half of the movie is totally new for Tamil cinema industry. It deals with the dark side of a man who once used to be good and a governess. Humiliated by his wrong decisions and greediness, how a good man turns self centered and egotistic is what Aadukalam deals with.
Dhanush as an actor is at his best after Pudupettai. He has done a lot of hard work for this movie. Topsee the female lead has shown good performance for a new comer. Vetrimaran, this man is really clever and he knows how to make a splendid entertainer which will be considered a good movie even after many years. The characterization of the movie is so fine, that they stay in our hearts for a longtime. Some very important events that happen in the movie are not filmed as part of the movie, but the way they are been conveyed it to the audience, it is wonderful, for example the Pettaikaran getting beaten by the policemen and when Karupus's (Dhanush) mother dies.
With regards to the graphics used in the movie, it is very well made and has come out natural that does not make you feel that its graphics but there is a notice in the upfront very beginning of the movie, that the rooster fights shown in this movie are graphics. The interval sequence, WOW it is an edge of the seat thriller. I nearly wondered what could be there in a movie after such a wonderful interval sequence. But there is really something thoughtful even after the interval.
Finally the climax of the movie, which made me think for at least two weeks, whether I have seen a similar climax in any other movies so far. My answer was NO, I haven't come across this kind of climax. But to make clear the climax is not so huge or entertaining it is very soft, subtle and accepted, which makes the film more appealing.
There is everything in the movie rage, egocentric, humor, love, warmth, and passion. This is definitely a must watch!!!
