On dreams coming true: Puli Varudhu.

Hero Ramesh (‘Jithan’ Ramesh) has two dreams and one is slightly different from the other. In one, his friend Karuppasamy (Karunas) goes to buy a mangalsutra and dies in a lorry accident. In the other dream, his wife to be, Shenbagam (Mallika Kapoor), dies in a fire accident. He tells his friend Karuppasamy about both the dreams. He goes to see a girl for his marriage. There he meets the girl whom he saw in his dream. So he feels what all he saw in his dream would come true in real life.

At times ‘Puli Varudhu’ evokes laughter. The in-built comedy in the latter part of the film certainly makes an impact.

‘Jithan’ Ramesh has done the job of the hero in the best possible way. Particularly when he narrates his dreams to his friend and also when he talks to his fiancée Shenbagam. Mallika Kapoor as Shenbagam is beautiful and emotes well in some scenes but goes overboard in a majority of them.

Manivannan and Saranya do their work in a noteworthy way. Particularly Manivannan with and without his wig is convincing. Pandu, Kuyili, Manickavinayagam and Livingston are the others, who have come out with significant performances.

Rajasekar’s camera work is commendable while Srikanth Deva’s tunes do not miss the beat. Among the five three pass muster. His re-recording is above average.

Raja Mohammad’s editing should have been crisper. Director G.V.Kumar’s dialogue is up to the mark but the screenplay needs more new incidents to make it interesting. The climax is a dampener.
