Rebellious Director Selvaragavan comes up with a movie which is to be remembered for another century in south Indian film industry."Pudhu Pettai" follows the journey of Kokki Kumar from his troubled adolescence to becoming a prime-time Gangster.The Movie is ground to reality mostly throughout,except for some cinematic exaggerations at places which is reasonable and convincing for the establishment and arc of the lead character.
The director is to be appreciated for his raw,savage take on the tone of the story, for the scenes are bold enough to take us into the journey of the lead character.The screenplay speaks for itself, for events keep unfolding every three minutes of the movie and cruises through to Fade Out.The song montages are cleverly used, which is to be seen in the movie and not discussed in this review.
Cinematography by Arvind Krishna and Editing by Kola Baskar are far ahead of times(at least in the period the movie released) and the visuals and the pace of the movie speaks for it. Vfx is cleverly used for some scenes to amplify the mood of the scene.
The Music of the film needs special recognition.The songs and the background scores both gel with the movie and are a milestone for Yuvan Shankar Raja in its own merit.The Sound Design of the movie also worth recognition.
The cast of the film do all the honors to take the script into the cinema medium successfully and they do it in great style and charisma.The lead Dhanush gives an Epic performance of his lifetime.Be it action,arrogance,sentiment,etc.Dhanush pulls it off in great style and perfection.Hats off!! The others Sneha,Soniya Agarwal,Azhagam Perumal,Bala Singh and every face that appeared in the movie is handled well by the director and they become a part of the story so perfectly, we never feel anything alien about them.
The film has blood,gore,violence,sex,profanity and many more, but all for good reasons and the director convinces us for his bold vision, that we are never gonna accuse him.
To conclude, Pudhu Pettai is a Must-watch and a rare gangster film of south of India to be cherished forever for its nativity,characters,events,morals and for its genius.
