My review: Kutti Puli
Except for the last 2-3 minutes of the movie nothing is new or interesting in this banal affair "Kutti Puli". In these days when even the so-called ruling superstars of Tamil cinema themselves have realized that larger than life buffoonery would only lead to box-office nadir and trying to mend themselves, comes M.Sasikumar with just one box-office hit as a solo hero to his credit so far with all that has been despised with by the audience in the recent past.
"Kutti Puli" is yet another Madurai based movie extolling the virtue of sickle and blood. M.Sasikumar is yet again the angry young man from Madurai mouthing punch dialogues. Lakshmi Menon is yet again the demure young girl who falls for a stranger after witnessing his over the top heroism. Saranya Ponvannan is yet again the quintessential single mom of Tamil cinema who sacrifices her whole life to look after her son. And it also has loads of sickle wielding ruffians who are all after the Hero's head, YAWN..!

M.Sasikumar is getting typecast in the same kind of roles and it is high time he thought about something different, else he might follow the likes of the "actors" Sunder.C and S.J.Suryah. Lakshmi Menon looks jaded and disinterested. She also need to concentrate on her make-up. Saranya is dependable as ever, though one does feel for this talented actress for she is not given enough challenging roles these days.
Gibran fails to live up to his own standards. Songs are average while most of the background score is filled-up with yesteryear hits of Ilayaraja.
Technically movie is good, Mahesh Muthusamy has done a decent job as the movie's cinematographer.
On the whole, "Kutti Puli" is a yawn inducing lackadaisical fare.
2/5
