A movie that made more Rs100 crore, and yet was declared a flop as it didn't recover costs, Puli was a classic case of coulda woulda shoulda.... but didn't.
A return to Tamil films for Sridevi after a 29 year gap, I've never wanted to like a movie more but... aiyaaaaa. It was awful.
Sridevi looked fierce, her look and acting, and its tone reminded many of Charlize Theron in Snowhite and the Hunstman, but, a desi-version in an inferior film.
Perhaps it works better for a younger generation looking at it like a children's fantasy film but the ambitious movie faltered in execution.
Have seen many clips and reels of the film... just to see Sri again...
"She left Tamil cinema like a young princess off to the big bad world of Bollywood, and came back a Queen having conquered it: Sridevi." - Suhasini Ratnam.
