Pokkiri

One of the blockbuster moive of the year.

Super action comedy drama moive with twist in the climax.

This is one of the perfect mass-masala entertainer movies in the country. I gave it an 8 because the movie did justice to that genre. I loved everything about this movie. From the intro to the climax. Remember this is a movie made in 2007. And my review is based on what I felt then. The movie starts with some goons chasing Vijay and him fighting them off. Then comes a song. I loved every second of it. Even Asin had chance to actually act instead of just being there and look pretty. The comedy tracks are outdated now but it made me LOL back in the day. All the songs are really good and fun to watch and listen. This movie had the best BGM in a Vijay movie until Kathi. Vijay was perfect for this movie. He didn't overact in any of the comedy scenes or when it came to punch dialogues. His dialogue deliveries were perfect. Pokkiri had the best twist ever in a masala movie. I did not see that coming. I still remember getting the chills watching him run. This made me a Vijay fan and the movies he did after Pokkiri changed my mind. :D

It is an Blockbuster movie..By this movie Vijay sir is again proven himself as he is a box office king.. Really,Even though it is an remake movieof telugu movie Pokkiri,while watching the movie we didn't address that,this is an remake movie..Vijay sir acting is mind-blowing, action scenes, Romantic scenes which are very cute, and comedy scenes are too good by Vadivelu sir, songs are too good, especially title song is awesome and BGM's are very nice.. At last,over all movie is superb and it is my all time favourite movie... So,I am giving 10/10 for this Box-office Blockbuster movie...

It's very love and action drama. Vijay acting is extraordinary performance. Fight sequence also pure mass. Finally loved this movie.

Vijay and Prabhu Deva collaborate for the first time in the action entertainer Pokkiri which is the remake of the Mahesh Babu starrer Pokiri. This film looks pretty much like a festival kind film which serves as a perfect star vehicle for Vijay to expand his larger-than-life image by satisfying his hardcore fans. Just like his previous films, Vijay is again an entertainer, and more than performing, he is giving to the audience what they need from him. He proves once again that he is an all-rounder when it comes to action entertainers. While having such a big cast, Pokkiri works only for Vijay because the film sticks around him. We can't see the other actors shine in the film because they don't have much scope in this entertainer. Even the comic villain Prakash Raj is left with nothing more than getting beat by Vijay at the end. Pokkiri feels somewhat too large with its not-so-realistic action sequences and its flat narrative. There's nothing much exciting in the film except Vijay. The film becomes quite predictable and even the pre-climax plot twist is just a well-known aspect of the film that we have seen much in the past decades. The illogical scenes are pulling down the film's quality and it does disconnect the audience from the world that the film exists. There are many subplots in the film. We have a subplot for Vijay and Asin, Mukesh Tiwari and Asin, Prakash Raj and Napoleon and it goes on. This is somewhat an issue for this film because instead of driving into the main conflict the film deviates into unnecessary aspects that does pretty much nothing for the film. Until the scene where Nassar reveals the twist, we are just left with a rollercoaster which might be watchable but not memorable. It becomes inevitable to believe that Pokkiri has nothing much to offer to the audience. You can only retain the punch lines that Vijay continuously throws to his enemies and that's all. After Perarasu and Ramana, Prabhu Deva is the newly appointed director who takes on the usual Vijay template. This film might be a remake but it's still the ordinary Vijay film that you watched probably before with a different cast and crew but with the same Vijay. Overall, Pokkiri is watchable for Vijay the entertainer.
