Kuruthipunal

Kamal and Arjun appointed as head to catch a terrorist team. They send a cop as a spy inside the terrorist group and collecting the information about them. Accidentally Nasser the head was caught by kamal in a railway station.

Terrorists needs to know who is the spy and release Nasser. Kamal, Arjun needs whole terrorists. Apart from the main story many questions are being unanswered. Film doesn't say who are the terrorists what do they want? But, we can understand they are portrayed as Naxals.

Nasser plays with black dress which may refer Dravidism. Because the film title has black and red, which is the color of dravidian party. The People in dravidism always wears black dress but, the no on with dravidian idealogy are terrorists. They don't need to become terrorists because, they are ruling the party of Tamil Nadu.

I never heard a naxal raping a police officer wife and assassinating a central minister so cool, shooting a child, and many. The film ends with kids of terrorists killed by Kamal attacking Kamal's son and saying it is a revenge.

If you are a general audience, the film will be nice. But, if you dissect many questions come from it.

Everyone has a breaking point. What will you do when you reach the breaking point? Will you choose country at the price of yourself and your family or will it be otherwise? How difficult will the choice be? This is the theme of the movie.

This is a classic from Kamal Hassan and team. His performance as Adhinarayanan and Nasser's performance of Badhri character are convincing. The story, screen play and cinematography are absolutely enthralling. The dialogues between Kamal and Nassar are the most thought provoking and captivating. A Hollywood style movie strictly sticking to the script. No songs, duets and dance to be expected from this movie. Sepcial mention to the make up of Arjun and Kamal in the terrorist interrogation scenes deserve a special mention. It is a movie that has cult status, with Kuruthipunal Kamal style hair cut, coolers becoming a trend and widely known across the gent's parlours in Tamil Nadu.

My only regret is that I saw this movie only once in theater!

Just 2 words to describe this movie which is "Great movie". Acting vise kamal and arjun both are awesome. Whenever i see this movie, i can feel the rawness. Almost equal to a hollywood movie.

An example of action thriller movie in indian cinema carrier is kuruthipunal. Nailed it.

kuruthipunal will remain a hallmark movie in indian cinema, based on a movie by govind nihalani ("drohkaal") - kamal & p.c sreeram have taken indian cinema to new heights with this movie.

the tight screenplay, the excellent performances, the biting dialogues, the beautiful cinematography all add up to make this one of the best movies ever from india.

the movie did surprisingly well for a movie without songs and was well appreciated in urban circles. the non commercial approach actually added to the offbeat theme of the movie.

this in my opinion is probably kamal's best performance.

a perfect 10.
