    South Indian movie at its best

    I heard a lot about this movie but watched it probably because sometimes when i heard a lot about any movie i get a little biased towards watching it, as all the talk about it irritates me. I made a mistake in watching this movie earlier. 'Awesome' is an understatement. What attracted me towards this movie was the first time combination of two South Indian stars Vikram and Surya(both my favorite) of the three superstars(Vijay, Vikram and Surya). Vikram as usual gives an outstanding performance as mentally challenged undertaker, on the other hand Surya and Laila leaves no stone unturned to show their own skills and make movie better. The story in some good movie takes a second place to the characters, Pithamagan is one such movie.

    Watch it for Surya-Vikram duo, rest is just extra gift to you.

    Pithamagan

    Good Movie. Suriya, Vikram and everybody acted very well in the mvie. Songs and BGM in the movie were good. The movie had many vulgar scenes which made the movie violent. The movie had some unwanted scenes which made the movie somewhat lagging. Good Movie.

    Out of society, out of friends then, in love, in relation, in revenge

    Vikram is like Aparichit, I. He is one of the finest action heroes in history. Suriya is also another one, can be considered as the 2nd action heroes. However, everyone did very well delivery. Especially the environment. Direction is top quality. A masterpiece. A tragedy.
