Review of Pudupettai

Mmmmm I saw this movie pudupettai very recently and was taken aback by the amount of sex and violence tat this movie had in store fr me. It was non stop sex and violence and violence in particular. The logic is simple now in tamil cinema unline hindi where either sex or shahrukh sells. Here in tamil cinema only sex and violence sells. Hero is gotta be a rowdy. Okkk he can be a policeman, collector, officer but he is a rowdy inside. Like vikram says in saamy movie "Naan police ille da porrikki". It seems to have settled in very well. It wasnt as if these type of movies werent there in past but nowadays I see only these types of movies in tamil. There are some really good movies frm Mani Ratnam at times but they are white dots in a black paper.

Comin back to this pudupettai movie, wat message does director wnna convey to moviegoers. Tat violence is spread in Tamilnadu. Come on selvaraghavan. U are touted as next maniratnam or wateva. But this movie of urs just proved u cant go beyond sex and violence. Though there were certain scenes where u did good job in bringing out emotions and realism, it was expected of u after ur 3 hits. In simple words u disappointed a lot of them. The scene where Dhanush kills the gang leaders bro and escapes frm 100 odd ppl defies realism. Plzzz u can do anythin in cinema but dhanush killin a person with one shot. As they say in US, u gotta be kiddin. Wateva there were no grey shades in dhanush character like selvas heroes in his previous movies. Dhanush character in this movie was dark Black, full black tat there were just no white shades in him. I mean personally I dont think a person like tat can exist. If it exists atleast he cudnt be a gang leader. My personal opinion is whteva bad be a guy, once he gets money and respect. he tries to project himself as good even if he is not good. Tats my views.



Anyhow now comin back to recent tamil movies, wat the heck is goin on. Wher are those romantic movies, comedy movies or atleast those thrillers. Tamill cinema misses those type of directors. Someone in the calibre of Abbas Mustan who dishes out those classic thrillers now an then and makes hindi cinema different. tamil movies had those dramas as their plus point. Noone can forget the period where family movies used tod ominate tamil cinema. If u understand am referrrin, samassaram adhu minsaram. tat was heck of a movie frm Visu. But those types are very rare nowadays. Ppl just seem to be obssessed with rowdy movies in tamil.

Like I said before when a dircetor writes story wateva be the script, wateva be the role of the hero. he is rowdy fr sure. police aka rowdy. Collector aka Rowdy. may be ven student aka rowdy. Uhhhhh disgusting
