Accidently arrested by the police, Kumar joins the gang of One Anbu Sir! Going forward, all the blood shed is justified for it is fear and insecurity that seems to drive them all. Karthick: While the film starts that way, the plot moves on the bring out the gangster in Kumar. The scene where he meets Sneha is a stunner which brings out the ‘whore’nesss with just a single glance. He finds his life in the streets when his mother gets murdered by his father. Shekar: Kumar, a.k.a Kokki Kumar grows up in the backdrop of tumultuous insecure pudhu pettai area of Chennai. Sneha comes as a prostitute and Sonia Agarwal as victimized wife of protagonist.
Harish: The protagonist role was played excellently by Dhanush and well supported by others. Driven by the insecurities of life and certainities of death, Pudhupettai is a film about the life, love, anger, greed, blunders, ambitions, honesty, integrity, vengeance, politics and humanity of a casual school going kid who’s life leads him astray. The story pursues the life of a school going kid turned gangster to a wannabe politician. While as a director, he has grown, I personally think Pudhupettai stands by far as his best work. While it may not give the complete idea about his movies but gives us a quick grasp of his thought process. Especially, the one for 7/G Rainbow Colony is funny, “A neighborhood good-for-nothing attempts to romance the new girl in town”.
Harish: Especially, a quick look at the summaries given in Imdb will outline the nature of his movies. Right from Thulluvatho ilamai, Kadhal Konden, 7/G Rainbow colony to Pudhupettai to Mayakkam Enna… While it is true, all his characters have strong dose of negativity and perversion, I am sure that in the context of the movie, it is all justified. Shekar: I see a strong parallel between his films and his thought process maturity. The lower seven worlds of the total 14, If I may say so… But, there is a subtle string of perversion, pathos and melancholia in all his films. He has given exceptional films, out of the way from the formula driven shallow films… Leaving aside the question of ethics and morality, I would say, he is a very honest film director who puts his heart and soul to make his work. Karthick: One such Tamil Film director, who has the guts to document what he thinks is Selva Raghavan. I would personally say, it is best not to express if in case it offends a larger public for the mistake of few. That the writer expressed what he thought but that doesn’t mean, that is the best way to document or express. But in any way, that doesn’t mean that it is the most appropriate way to express things. The thinker/writer doesn’t really gives much thought about if this is the appropriate way of taking it to public or if this will offend some one but rather, he goes on to say what he thinks. But when it comes to Art, there is a general preference to document and express ideas and thoughts as such. I guess, it is a matter of one’s ability to express without offending others. Karthick: Whatever be the situation, Freedom, In my humble opinion comes with a lot of responsibility and I personally think even the most controversial of the controversial opinion can be put forward in an acceptable way.
