Pokiri Story

Pokkiri movie begins with Tamizh(Vijay), a local goon who will kill anyone, anytime for money, being chased by Mallesh, a member of Ali Bhai's gang and his henchmen. Tamizh has taken a contract from Narasiman to beat up Mallesh, which he does successfully (Aadungadaa). Impressed by his ability to handle a seasoned gangster like Mallesh and his henchmen, Guru invites Tamizh to join Ali bhai's gang. Tamizh declines the offer stating that he does not work for any gang, but is ready to do anything, given enough money. Meanwhile, Tamizh encounters Shruthi(Asin Thottumkal) when he visits his friend's father(Nassar) aerobics class. He is bowled over by her beauty, though she disregards him as a thug. Shruthi a college going student, lives with her widowed mother and younger brother. Body Soda(Vadivelu) , is a cowardly kung fu master who lives next-door to Shruthi, and is the main source of comic relief of the film. He is trying to win her heart, but has had trouble doing so. Sub inspector L. Govindan(-), is a corrupt, perverted officer in the colony where Tamizh and Shruthi live. He goes hand in glove with the land mafia, often helping them out in their activities. He is also on the payroll of Ali Bhai. He is also a lecherous man, whose eye falls on Shruthi and he decides to make her his mistress. Tamizh's first assignment with Ali Bhai's gang is to kill a member of Narasiman's gang. However, police show up at the spot where Tamizh and the other gangsters are waiting for the kill. Tamizh distracts the cops long enough for the others to finish the task and flee. He also helps Shruthi escape from L. Govindan, in the middle of all this. She is impressed by his kindness and starts developing friendship (Vasaantha Mullai) with him. He also starts having feelings for her, which are reciprocated by Shruthi (Dole Dole). When she expresses her feelings towards him, they are attacked by members of Narasiman's gang, whom Tamizh single handedly finishes off. Shruthi is shocked to learn that Tamizh is a seasoned gangster and has no qualms in killing people.The movie concludes with Sathyamoorthy/Tamizh avenging his father's death by finishing off all members of Ali Bhai's gang including Ali Bhai and his henchmen.

Pokiri Critics Review

filmibeat.com
It is nearly a year after the release of Aathi, Vijay released his next film Pokkiri. The poor result of Aathi affected Vijay that much. O.K.. has Vijay learned anything from Aathi's debacle? Nothing! Once again Vijay chose a poor storyline, very much Aathi like. Vijay introduced as a fearless young criminal who doesnt care at all about humanity or the value of a persons life (but he always cares about children and woman). He works for a don played by Prakash Raj. Whoever it maybe... Vijay takes away his life with a single bullet. He threatens the police too. An usual cinematic incident turns into a love affair between Vijay and Asin. At one point in the film, Asin figures out that Vijay is a criminal. She now has to choose between leaving and staying with him. In the mean time, Prakash Raj revealed that Vijay is not a criminal but a honest police officer. The final part of the movie goes through that how Vijay escapes from the criminal gang and finished them as usually. Yes...what you guessed is correct.

Vijay not only follows superstar Rajini's mannerisms...and his stories too! Pokkiri is almost a remake of 'Pandian'. Few scenes have also been 'shot' from Pandian. But Vijay has done some justification atleast to his character via his lustic annd freak action style. This will definitely attract his teen fans. In the fight scenes, he really thrills the viewers, particularly the Stone Fort stunt. The credit goes to Fefsi Vijayan and Vijay. What is the job for an heroine in an action oriented film? Just loving the hero, singing songs along with him in colourfull locations and finally joining him with joyful tears in climax. Asin, the heroine of Pokkiri did exactly the same! The dance sequences really enthralled the viewers. It is a double treat to the fans to see Prabhu Deva's dancing style being done by Vijay. But how long can a person see dances and fights over and over again?

Villain Prakash Raj is introduced in a Dawood Ibrahim like role, an international underworld Don, But scene after scene his grade has been reduced and finally he became a mere clown! Apart from Prakash Raj there are some more Villains are there... Anandha Raj, Vincent Ashokan and few telugu faces... There are hundreds of murders and deaths with guns take place in this film. No authority has questioned anybody. The murderer Vijay is free - chatting with friends, loving his heroine and dancing with her. These things are only possible in a Tamil movie!
