The
expectations
have
been
high
from
the
day
Puli
started
its
rolling.
The
combination
of
director
SJ
Surya
and
Pawan
Kalyan
had
brought
out
the
biggest
hit
in
the
hero"s
career
like
Khushi.
At
a
time
when
Pawan
Kalyan
was
almost
went
into
oblivion
with
the
disaster
of
Johnny,
the
film
Jalsa
gave
him
the
breath.
However,
after
a
long
wait,
Puli
had
hit
the
screen
amid
speculations
whether
it
would
be
released
or
not.
Unfortunately,
the
film
is
quite
horrible
and
watching
the
film
is
a
misery
and
it
is
the
director
who
should
be
blamed
for
the
disaster.
Story:
The
film
begins
with
a
woman
searching
for
her
husband,
who
was
a
police
officer.
After
police
fail
to
give
any
clue
about
her
missing
husband,
she
meets
the
villain
Al
Saleem
(Manoj
Bajpai),
who
thrashes
her
to
death
almost.
She
survives
and
pleads
with
God
to
save
the
society.
Then
she
finds
that
she
was
pregnant
and
gives
birth
to
a
baby
boy.
She
brings
him
up
and
makes
him
an
upright
cop
with
the
name
Komaram
Puli
(Pawan
Kalyan).
He
saves
the
prime
minister
(Girish
Karnad)
in
Hong
Kong
from
the
hands
of
terrorists
and
when
he
was
going
to
be
rewarded,
he
pleads
with
prime
minister
to
help
him
launch
a
special
team
Puli
Team
to
police
the
policemen.
Once
Puli
gets
a
complaint
about
a
missing
police
officer
Hussain
(Surya)
and
investigates
the
case.
He
finds
that
Hussain
got
the
last
call
from
Al
Saleem.
While
investigatig,
Puli
comes
to
know
that
Al
Saleem
bought
the
car
from
Nixon,
a
mafia
don,
who
allegedly
died
in
an
encounter
in
Hong
Kong.
He
finds
link
between
a
dancer
(Shreya)
and
Nixon.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
PERFORMANCE:
Pawan
Kalyan
appears
imitating
like
Sai
Kumar,
who
played
the
police
officer
roles
in
several
Kannada
and
Telugu
films.
His
voice
was
loud
and
at
times
unbearable.
He
tried
to
put
his
entire
energy
with
ever
dialogue.
He
has
given
an
eccentric
performance,
which
is
not
expected
from
a
good
artiste
like
Pawan
Kalyan,
who
played
cool
in
all
his
earlier
films.
The
love
and
romantic
scenes
between
the
hero
and
the
heroine
are
disgusting
and
gives
a
feel
of
aversion.
Nikisha
Patel
is
a
grace
as
her
beautiful
eyes,
fresh
oomph
gives
a
relief
to
the
front-benchers
at
least.
Though
she
did
not
get
any
scope
to
perform,
she
filled
the
glamour
slot
well.
Shreya"s
item
number
is
below
average
and
such
a
song
doesn"t
need
a
heroine
like
Shreya
as
any
of
the
item
girls
could
do
it.
Manoj
Bajpayee"s
character
is
another
disaster.
The
director
introduces
him
as
an
international
don,
but
it
ends
up
in
such
a
poor
manner
and
he
was
almost
shown
as
a
comedy
villain
with
no
dignity.
Other
artistes
including
Nazar,
Charan
Raj,
Saranya,
Girish
Karnad
and
others
just
appear
in
some
scenes
and
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Ali
was
wasted.
TECHNICAL:
The
producer
had
spent
a
lot
on
the
film
and
the
lavishness
appears
on
the
screen.
The
entry
of
the
hero
was
shot
in
Hong
Kong.
Though
the
action
scene
choreographed
in
the
introduction
would
get
whistles
from
front-benchers
and
Power
Star"s
fans,
it
appears
very
cinematic
for
a
common
audience.
The
director
migh
have
thought
of
making
the
film
on
the
lines
of
some
Hollywood
films
and
hence
the
film
lost
nativity.
The
film
is
of
graphics,
rope
work.
Cinematography
is
average
and
the
editing
is
atrocious.
Music
is
audible
but
the
choreography
of
songs
is
not
impressive.
Re-recording
is
loud
and
noisy.
The
director
left
the
entire
film
disjointed.
Screenplay
was
atrocious
and
he
lost
grip
on
the
main
storyline
with
wrong
placement
of
songs
and
poor
narration.
It
is
absurd
to
show
the
power
of
god
during
the
birth
of
the
hero
and,
the
power
of
mother"s
tear
in
making
the
hero
recharge
before
death.
ANALYSIS:
The
poor
screenplay
and
lackadaisical
attitude
of
the
director
is
clearly
visible
with
inconsistent
appearance
of
the
hero.
He
appears
with
a
long
moustache
in
one
scene
and
in
the
next
immediate
scene,
it
gets
shortened.
He
appears
in
Khakhi
for
a
while
and
in
olive
green
uniform.
It
is
not
known
why
a
police
officer
need
six
body
guards
two
before
and
four
after,
especially,
when
he
was
talking
about
policing
on
police.
It
is
a
surprise
how
in
one
scene
the
villain"s
car
towed
away
by
the
hero
in
Hyderabad
and
in
the
next
scene
he
appears
in
Hong
Kong
with
a
helipad
on
the
roof
top
of
a
big
building.
such
inconsistencies
made
the
film
laughable
and
the
film
has
no
visual
appeal
and
even
the
hardcore
fans
of
Mega
family
curse
the
director
for
giving
another
disaster
to
Pawan
Kalyan.
