Kutti Puli Review
It is said that improvisation is the need of the hour in cinema, but Sasikumar seems to be pushing it under the carpet by continuing to do mass-appeal films. He may be successful, but he should not forget the fact that success will not stay with him forever if he continues to make similar films.
Story
Kutti
Puli
(Sasikumar)
was
brought
up
single-handedly
by
his
mother
after
he
lost
his
father
at
a
young
age
in
a
local
gang
rivalry.
His
mother
does
not
want
him
to
be
like
his
father.
Unfortunately,
he
does
grow
up
to
be
like
his
father
and
even
picks
up
the
same
traits
that
got
his
father
killed.
No matter how hard his mother tries, her efforts only prove futile because Puli lives by his own principles. However, she believes if she could get him married then probably he may turn responsible and take control of his life. But Puli is against marriage because he believes that with so many people who wish to see him dead, his future wife may have live like his mother, who was left behind by his father.
What makes Puli change his mind and eventually agree to marry? This forms the rest of the story. The film very subtly highlights the two most important women in our lives, mother and wife, who have very pivotal parts to play. Even though the film is a commercial entertainer at heart, debutant director Muthaiah has played the sentimental card extremely well to keep the audiences hooked through certain emotional moments.

Thankfully, he doesn't make this whole mother and wife analogy sound too preachy, and uses it far too occasionally in the film. You will also notice that the film is high on elements commonly found in Sasikumar's films such as friendship, revenge, family, witty one-liners and lots of blood and gore. While all elements have been used appropriately at regular intervals, one doesn't find anything new to be excited about.

The film struggles in the second half and unnecessarily gets dragged by songs and few cliched fight sequences. Kutti Puli also reminds us of the fact that Sasi is no longer an actor, but a commercial hero with mass following because he now has a typical hero entry scene welcomes by hoots and applauds.

Sasikumar is again seen in an angry young man avatar with a good side that needs to be awakened. Even though he played his role with ease and confidence, he is starting to get repetitive with his choice of films. While it needs to be accepted that his core audiences are folks from B and C centers in Tamil Nadu, that doesn't allow him to discard multiplex goers.
Kutti Puli Review
Saranya Ponvannan hardly has any part to play besides crying in every other scene, while Prabha, who makes a comeback after a long hiatus, has an equally unsatisfying part. Lakshmi Menon plays her part well, while the rest of the cast goes unnoticed with short screen presence.

Verdict: If you're a fan of Sasikumar, revisit some of his earliest films of his career.
