Visually, the movie is a treat and cinematographer Natarajan Subramaniam (Natty) has done a splendid job. The cinematography in the film deserves to be mentioned first, because it is extremely good. How does Marundheeran rescue her? Where does he meet the Queen’s daughter (Hansika Motwani)? What happens to the Queen and her evil minister? Who is Marundheeran? All this forms the rest of the story.
Marundheeran’s childhood sweetheart is Pavazhamalli (Shruti Haasan) who gets kidnapped by the Vedhalams. The Vedhalams are said to possess superpowers and belong to the Vedhalam kingdom that is ruled by Sridevi and her evil commander Sudeep. The boy grows up to be the saviour of the people in the village and protects them from the Vedhalams.
There’s a baby that is found in the river by Prabhu (leader of sorts of this village) who brings the child up as his own son, Marundheeran (Vijay). The movie starts off talking about a village in a period when this fantasy world is still ruled by kings and queens. Why he chose this particular subject and script is a question only the actor can answer, but fantasy is apparently director Chimbu Deven’s favourite genre. This movie is a departure for Ilayathalapathy Vijay because it’s in the historical-fantasy genre which he has never attempted before in his career. The actor who has also transformed into a cult figure in cinema, should also consider to retrieve to direct as the people are waiting for his signature films.Starring: Vijay, Sridevi, Sudeep, Shruti Haasan, Hansika Motwani Kutti puli, one of those rarest commercial films that makes you cry. Sasikumar, being an irrevocable brand in the film fraternity and also among all classes of audience, sensibly realized his responsibility of satisfying them and achieved it too. The text slide at the end of the film showcased the theme and makes us wonder how the director conveyed it eventually. Most importantly, the twist in the tale that led to an unpredictable climax is unique for the gallery would have been anticipating Saranya's death way ahead. However, the controversial pair is successful for the second time in terms of so-called media-chemistry. The visuals of the song, supporting the introduction of Laxmi menon is another major flaw where its neither imagination nor sequential. The perfect placement for the interval creates the necessary hype for the film to a great extent. The stunt sequence of silambam (an ancient Dravidian martial art) is a treat to action aficionados. Usage of too many old songs in the film hinders the pace of the script and tend to annoy after a few occasions which is a major and evident flaw. Music helping the sentimental touch in a great way but credits to Saranya for a perfect and mature execution. Credits to the casting team for a bunch of perfect pick for an antagonist and the villainous crew. That was his profound film making style that swayed number of classics which has been luxuriating our industry. Kudos to the legendary directors Bala and Balaji Sakthivel who emphasized on reality films and literally persuaded hundreds of films and film-makers through their evergreen-classics Sethu and Kadhal, that changed the long- prevailing scenario of South Indian cinema. Though its very tedious to direct a reality film in a rural backdrop without any correlation of two great classics of modern times (subramaniyapuram and paruthiveeran), the film-maker has given his best shot. The opening scene with the death of Lal due to regional disputes and the transition of his son in the village, visualization of the songs, the actor's mannerisms and yet a number of factors in the film purely reminds us of Ameer's classic. Inevitably, we could see the concordances of another trend-changing work, Paruthiveeran, in the base plot of the film. She is the best character artiste in and around the industry not without a reason. And needless to quote, Saranya's phenomenal performance is a vital contribution, helping the film to attain some quality.
The film is neatly paced with humor, romance and sentiments, striking a perfect balance for a commercial film. When everyone was awaiting Sasikumar's next directional venture (after his trend-setting film subramaniapuram) the director, started to substantiate his acting career with consecutive successes. The director successfully delivered his script, meeting the expectations of the crowd. The film is swift with its comic sequences and the audience could pick it up though it was scattered into pieces and widely plot- abberative. Kutti puli Rating: 2.5/5 Action Drama Debut director Muthaiah clearly making a mark with a clean commercial film.
