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
Acting of every actors are just osm💯
Each nd every scene is great🔥
I hav only 2 words for this movie "Tharamana Padam" 👌🔥💯
A non commercial, genuine patriotic movie. Kamal Haasan's and Arjun's acting brought beauty to the story.
A treat watch movie for all the true film lovers.

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.

kuruthipunal will remain a hallmark movie in indian cinema, based on a movie by govind nihalani ("drohkaal") - kamal & p.c sreeram have taken indian cinema to new heights with this movie.
the tight screenplay, the excellent performances, the biting dialogues, the beautiful cinematography all add up to make this one of the best movies ever from india.
the movie did surprisingly well for a movie without songs and was well appreciated in urban circles. the non commercial approach actually added to the offbeat theme of the movie.
this in my opinion is probably kamal's best performance.
a perfect 10.
