Paayum Puli Movie Review

Cast: Vishal, Kajal Aggarwal, Samuthirakani, Soori, Vela Ramamoorthy, RK, Anand Raj, Harish Uthaman, Murali Sharma .Direction: Suseenthiran.Duration: 2 hours 15 minutes
Synopsis: An extortion gang that murders businessmen kills a policeman working on the case. ACP Jayaseelan exterminates the gang by way of unofficial encounters, but the murders continue. What the cop doesn't realise is that the brain behind the crimes is lurking close to home.
Review: As he showed with Naan Mahaan Alla and Pandiya Naadu, Suseenthiran has a flair for giving us engaging action films that are well within the commercial format and still feel fresh in terms of presentation. Paayum Puli lacks the tautness of Pandiya Naadu, but packs in enough thrills to keep us glued to our seats. Cop films in Tamil cinema generally have no qualms about justifying encounters, turning a blind eye to human rights, and this one, too, is no exception (here, we have the hero saying one can get away with murdering anyone but not a cop!). The film — despite Suseenthiran denials — seems to be loosely inspired from the real-life murder of sub-inspector T Alwin Sudhan in 2012. Or, at least, he uses the incident as a jumping-off point for the film's plot.
Albert (Harish Uthaman), an idealistic, young cop is murdered for shooting dead the brother of Bhavani, whose gang is behind a series of extortion crimes.
