Pudhupettai - Oru Kannottam !

Disclaimer : I am going to discuss the movie here. So spoilers are present obviously.But then go ahead and read it, u wudn't miss anything great in the movie;)

Along the lines of GodFather, Satya and Company comes Pudhupettai (Haha .. Obviously exaggerating).

The story revolves around an already spoiled youth, getting more spoilt, most spoilt and finally spoiling the audience too.Not sure what does selvaraghavan have against movies that can be watched along with family.

The Movie begins with dhanush locked up in the cell,reminiscing, from a school boy how he turns into a Don. (Yes he is, believe me :) ). The events that flow thru are not hard to guess. Be it smuggling drugs, or tackling the opposite gangs men and killing them, the plot is the same every where.

"Ella criminallkum ore background thaan" -- Ajith has already told :) .
In this case dhanush's father kills his mother and throws her into the sea. Another movie which targets politics and politicians only this time it is vulgarity coupled with the usual violence.

But the differentiating factor is selvaraghavan's direction and dhanush's acting. Some of the scenes are simply spectacular. Dhanush, does the protagonist role with awe. Only thing is, itz difficult to imagine how is father-in-law would react ;). As for the heroines, sneha does her role admirably. It's odd to see her as a pros'te, yet her acting makes up for it. But i am very much concerned with sonia agarwal's character. I mean, even if you ignore her in the movie,it wouldn't make any difference. Just because you are the close to the director (PUN intended), you can't get to act for the heck of it and be called as "SELV"I. A not so necessary character.

There aren't much songs in the movie as most of them are themes. But watever, they are good. Yuvan shankar raja has once again proved his mettle. Especially the song sung by Kamal,is simply superb. Dhanush comes out of the screen and slaps you in the face for being a literate, such is the ramifications of "Padicha Naaye" song.

Overall,
+ve's :

1)Direction
2)Music
3)Acting

-Ve's :

1) Usual storyline.
2) Unnecessary sequences which at times make you frown.
3) Expectation and delivery gap for selvaraghavan movies:).

Dhanush is back with a bang,only this time the bang backfired. Yet worth watching once.
