This one is for action aficionados


U need not be a hardcore lalettan fan to get that 'hysterical' feel while watching his movies. Even before the movie title rolls over, u get into a celebration mode. Pulimurugan is from the stable of 'Man vs Wild' series, which is not a commonly made genre in our industry. By any yardstick, its brilliant, technical wise. Be it the camera of Shaji Kumar, Editing of John Kutty, BGM of Gopi Sunder & a top notch Peter Hein as action choreographer. Director Vysakh could have avoided a few unwanted elements, but if u look at some of his previous works, it seems to be a pre requisite ?. All said & done, once u end up watching the movie, realisation sets in that u just witnessed the best action packed movie made in Malayalam by a long distance. ??

As an action aficionado, the action scenes left me disappointed. It didn't help that they used a CGI version of Mohanlal in some particularly difficult scenes. It was quite a let down. I can understand that he is old now and cannot perform stunts like in the old days. Maybe it's a sign that he should take on more mature roles and leave the action to the younger set. Otherwise, he is bound to end up becoming a parody of himself like Rajnikanth.

So much wisdom in this thread. Agree with both of you. But, I personally enjoyed the whole film. The action was decent. 6/10.
