One of the worst hyped-up Malayalam movies I've ever seen.The story line is incredible, the script is way below average and the performance is better left undefined. It's a case of a talented actor going over the hill and that the movie has already been such a super hit says how gullible we are as consumers and how our cinematic taste has reached a nadir. Not going into technical superiority since this is what money can buy these days. The movie is poor in terms of creative thought, cohesive screenplay and most unfortunately the incapability to separate a character from a marquee actor. The director had come up with some reasonably good movies but seems to have cowered before the myth that cinema revolves round a salable hero.

The songs and the scenery in the entire movie is good.

But it is very noisy, unnecessary disturbing noises will irritate you, may be some may get head ache too.

The jungle villain type character with uniform and gun and hairs like birds nest is actually funny, from no angle he looks like a villain.

In one fight sequence the hero is carrying his younger brother and fighting, i don't know why because he could have left him in a safe place fought the villains instead. The action director used more than required brains i guess.

Otherwise it is a one time watch movie only.

When you talk about a movie like 'Pulimurugan' you don't have privilege to criticize much, because lots of efforts put on by the cast and the technical team is evident in shots particularly forest scenes. The script i earlier half is gripping and takes the movie experience to extraordinary levels. In later half the cliché scenes comes up with let down though the action scenes still comes to fascinate you and makes you forget those repetitions. The animations of tiger though are weaker since Malayalam movies can't afford the large expenses on these technicalities, it does not affect our entertainment quota. Actors in movie are of good capabilities but this is almost a one man show, yes Mohan Lal shadows all performances. He has performed all the action and drama scenes with perfection. Other actors are also good in their roles. The character of Bala is another well crafted character but by the end it flatters. Background score is the backbone of action sequences without which it could have been not much effective. The script includes all the ingredients in it be it drama, thrill or comic scenes, so it can be clearly said the script stands as the winner here. But no script is complete unless it is executed with perfection by its director and actors. Director Vyshaag had previously shown good skills in captivating colors of Punjab in 'Mallu Singh' and his venture 'Seniors' was too color full and entertainer; he has carried all those skills in to 'Pulimurugan' and justified with script and calibers of all the actors and provided us an excellent action packed movie. Apart from these the person who has to be appreciated most is Peter Hein for choreographing great action sequences and depicting it to perfection when comes to fight sequence including tiger. The animators have given appropriate body language to the tiger within their limits.Anyway this is a must watch movie which entertains and thrills you. The rating could be 7 but for action and scenic filming 8 will only justify.

Givinng due credit to the positive aspects - The movie as such solely relies on Mohanlal's performance, which is awesome. But team work isn't balanced, though. Siddique's acting,camera work & Peter Hein's stunts were good too. Music is a let down, much suited for a low-bud film, doesn't suit Gopi Sundar's orchestration skills. Sudhir Karamana has been overacting in a few recent movies, which is in stark contrast with that of his father's fantastic controlled acting. Karamana Janardhanan Nair was one of Malayalam's finest. CGI is way better than that in any other south Indian movies released so far, although there are a few flaws which only trained eyes might spot. I wouldn't have noticed any of those, if I hadn't been working in Quality control in Animation Looks like the idea was to air the movie nationally but Jagapathy Babu, the ace Telugu villain's character & script couldn't deliver. Comparisons with Devasuram & Kireedam are hardly justified as both Napoleon & Mohan Raj carried off their equally important roles with flair & left a lasting strong impact. The pack of villains apparently have hurriedly-scripted roles. This is at a time when performance by a total newcomer Ashwin Kumar in Jacobinte swargarajyam was amazingly powerful & realistic. Otherwise the fact that excellent footages of Mohanlal fighting a snake and other scenes shown in teasers - yet removed scenes for optimizing the length of the movie is disappointing. Perhaps shortening stale comedy footage of Namita would have been prudent. Kamalini Mukherjee's expressions are hardly worth commenting- as is apt for any other imported actress, usual in Malayalam. Her casting again, must have had something to do with the intended national market of the movie. Also the stunt sequence while Mohanlal carries his fully grown-up brother while fighting is as ridiculous as watching some archaic Hindi movie. The Hype about this movie is hardly worth believing - Overall Grossly Disappointing
