Aadukalam

I wanted to watch Amores perros for a long time and thanks to vetrimaran for giving credits at the end of this film. Innaritu's one deals with the human emotions with the Dog fighting in the background while vetrimaran's is Rooster fight. But they are totally different. Only thing which bugs me is why they had to reprise a particular soundtrack from the film. Except for that it isn't a rip off. The director's research about Rooster fight,Madurai(location where the film takes place) and the people are all sure for a great applause keeping in mind that the director hails from northern part of Tamilnadu. CG part involving the rooster fight were mediocre. But they killed it with an amazing screenplay.

very raw and stunning screenplay by the director..actors and technicians supports the mood of the film...climax of the movie is criticized among the people but other than that nothing would have shown the loyalty of K.P.karupu..editing of the movie is a big strength specially in the interval sequence. G.v.prakash does a good job.. fight sequence between dhanush and kishore conveys the rooster fight superbly and it is well conceived by the people ..the slang of madurai Tamil is worked without any flaws or artificial .. highlights of the movie are dhanush(k.p.karupu ) kishore , pettai karan and DOP, editing ,story line ,and the dialogues during the rooster fight makes the situation more real.

I was pleasantly surprised and full of emotions after watching Aadukalam. Initially centered around rooster fights and a love story, I wondered what this movie could tell. But masterful direction by Vetrimaran and a wonderful performance from Dhanush and other actors puts this movie alongside the best in Tamil.

Dhanush has displayed a myriad of emotions in this movie and has proved to be a great actor. The story seems to be long but it stays in your mind. The darkness of the Pettaikaran character may irk you a bit. Aadukalam has trust, betrayal, angst, happiness, sorrow and what not? The Behind-the-screen departments have performed a tremendous job. The rooster-fight graphics was awesome.

Overall I'd say, it's one of a kind movie! Go for Aadukalam at once!!

Vetrimaaran is a Gem of Tamil Cinema .. This one is a cult classic film.. It reflects the life of Rural Madurai .. Their slang .. their lifestyle.. If you involve in the movie , you experience a beautiful lifestyle... Emotional... Pain last for days after watching movies

i was really impressed with the level of sophistication in the movie's plot. this is definitely among the better performances dhanush has given in his career, and he really captures the imagination of the audience. he really gels with his character, giving a realistic feel that stayed in my mind long enough to give this movie a review.

the integrated songs are also a welcome change from the typical cut and migrate to different country kind of songs that tamil viewers are so used to. and viewers will certainly enjoy the dance sequences:)

the masterful capture of emotions in the second part of the movie and the parallels drawn to rooster fighting are a treat to movie fans who expect more from their movie experience. all in all, a must see for all, for the casual entertainment seeker, or the serious movie buff.
