The action sequences are awe inspiring and those who love some intense moves will sure be satisfied. The stunt choreography by Peter Hein had been a talking point and he delivers big time. For instance, the emotional make up of the young Murugan forced to fend for himself and his young brother, the humour infused in the love between Murugan and Myna (Kamalini Mukherjee), the new twists in Murugan’s life after he is asked for ganja, Daddy Girija’s role (Jagapathy Babu) etc makes sure that you are glued to the seat. Murugan’s uncle (Lal) is an important person in his life and plays a prominent part in the narrative.Įach segment of sub plots have some interesting element that adds a spark. Flashbacks narrate the tale and is highly effective in keeping up the momentum. The police connection, the present story oft ganja all then makes up the plot. Then there is the youthful Murugan in love. There is the childhood segment which shows why Murugan (Mohanlal) becomes a tiger hunter. The movie is interwoven beautifully with numerous sub plots emerging into a coherent plot. And in a way it has been able to take momentum from the initial low expectation. Director Vyshak has taken care to portray something as volatile as tiger killing in a diplomatic manner. However, the movie has proved all the detractors wrong. Too much glorification of the hero in the trailer had left a negative impact at the outset. This has been a much awaited movie with many a speculation regarding how it would turn out. Interesting sub plots interspersed with some intense action and of course the masochism of the complete actor filling the screen packs a punch in ‘Pulimurugan’.
