Featured review
Sets a benchmark for Gangster Films in Tamil
Pudhupettai - Undoubtedly one of the best Tamil films, set the benchmark for how to make a gangster movie in Tamil! Dhanush, who is a superstar now, was a budding, promising actor back then, hits bull's eye in his portrayal of the Gangster named "Kokki" Kumar. The movie, though wasn't much celebrated at the time of its release, instantly became a cult classic, a few months after. The movie is like a poetry in motion, even though some cinematic liberties are taken in few scenes, the overall feel is so realistic and hard hitting. Right from being a naive adolescent to becoming a ruthless gangster, Dhanush simply rocks every frame he is in, which is literally every frame:-) The supporting actors are all very believable and they did a great job as well. Selvaraghavan is a director who always experiments with different genres and makes a huge impact with his films, even tough they aren't financially successful and this movie is the biggest example of it. Do watch this movie, if you're a lover of pure cinema
