This is one among "the best" of Kamal.The screenplay is really a wonder.The character of Viswanath(kamal's boss) in the movie is a prelude to that of kamal's. Some of the dialogue's are evergreen.esp the ones kamal and nasser share in the sea shore. The camera focuses on kamal's Black Ray-Ban and Nasser is all in pain in that reflection.So clear,so true.P.C has done a gr8 job.The lighting for the interrogation scenes are just perfect. For those regular "P.Vasu" kind of cop movies,wherein the cop will have every power on this earth to even ask the chief minister to stop talking,this one was a bolt out of the blue. Also the tollgate scene where the cop shoots one of the terrorist's will happen in tamil cinema ,but not the dialog that follows that.Its where kamal asks the cop whether he is married.The lighting and camera angle is so perfect,as if u feel that P.C had just sat in the floor to capture it on the screen.Whata work? The indoor scenes are very good,with bright lighting,bright contrast dresses for the men n women. A gr8 offbeat by kamal and P.C.Sriram
An example of action thriller movie in indian cinema carrier is kuruthipunal. Nailed it.
Everyone has a breaking point. What will you do when you reach the breaking point? Will you choose country at the price of yourself and your family or will it be otherwise? How difficult will the choice be? This is the theme of the movie.
This is a classic from Kamal Hassan and team. His performance as Adhinarayanan and Nasser's performance of Badhri character are convincing. The story, screen play and cinematography are absolutely enthralling. The dialogues between Kamal and Nassar are the most thought provoking and captivating. A Hollywood style movie strictly sticking to the script. No songs, duets and dance to be expected from this movie. Sepcial mention to the make up of Arjun and Kamal in the terrorist interrogation scenes deserve a special mention. It is a movie that has cult status, with Kuruthipunal Kamal style hair cut, coolers becoming a trend and widely known across the gent's parlours in Tamil Nadu.
My only regret is that I saw this movie only once in theater!

Nowadays youngsters think action movie means mass fight scenes. Search Youtube for top 5 action scenes of Tamil cinema, you will be surprised.
Inaintha kaigal, Kuruthipunal and Kaka kaka are trend setters.
Kamal, Arjun, Gowthami, Nassar and everyone played their character wisely. Kamal, Arjun and Nassar are apt for the Commando dress. Action sequence are flawless.
I missed this movie on my teen age because of it's A certificate. But after watching lot of Hollywood movies, now it seems, not too much. Think this is the only Songless movie in Tamil cinema.
10 stars for this awesome movie.
