Did you watch Muthaiah's earlier rural films ? If yes, then you are going witness the same old village story of a rural superhero played by Vikram Prabhu falling in love with a village girl played by Lakshmi Menon (in her comeback film after a hiatus) in Pulikkuthi Pandi. This film offers nothing fresh to the audience except an unusual climax. The overall film seems to be dragged by scenes that are quite known by the audience. The background score doesn't add the intensity needed and the film feels at some point empty without it. Among the flaws that this film has, there's one thing that I found repeatedly in Muthaiah's films that I really need to talk about. The main conflict of the protagonist and the antagonist in most of his films seems to be not well developped which ends the conflict just like a fight in between two school kids (If you hit me then I will hit you). The presence of violence in a Muthaiah film seems to be a major drawback. In fact, in this film, we have so many scenes that could have been handled better than just using violence as a solution. Pulikkuthi Pandi might be a not so engaging film but there's an unusual twist towards the end that will leave you thrilled. I don't want to talk about it much because I think it's better to watch the film to feel the impact. Overall, I feel that Pulikkuthi Pandi is an usual Muthaiah film with an unusual climax.
