Shruti Haasan and Hansika Motwani don’t have much of a performance oriented scenes in this movie. It is that typical style of his, but in this character it looks like what we call as overacting.

On screen I wasn’t that impressed by Vijay’s performance. With songs annoying with its unnecessary presence, Puli looks too stretched out. The spoof feel which was there in Chimbu Devan’s other films was missing here. If somebody asks you to narrate the story of Puli, a minute or two would be more than enough. For the elders there isn’t any layer of excitement or conflict that looks unpredictable or surprising. Well the content is pretty much a perfect film for the kids who aren’t that exposed to Hollywood flicks.

Okay leave such silly issues and focus on the content. Well it is not a time travel concept and with almost all the other characters having this typical period film look with long hair I haven’t found a genuine reason for presenting the hero in this fashion. There was this troll once the teaser released about Vijay’s look in the film (Trimmed hair and French beard) and the reply was that it is a time travel film.
