I am one of those idiots who did not watch this movie in theatres. Luckily I waited for the bluray and watched it. I heard big things about this movie and was doubtful whether it would reach my expectations. But yeah it did more than that. I was like a kid while watching the movie. No surprise in Ang Lee getting the Oscar for best direction. The amounts of courage, dedication and passion one needs to direct such an extravaganza with no known actors (though Irfan khan and Tabu are known). The film ponders upon many facets of life. The heart of the movie is Richard Parker. Without him there is no meaning for Pi's journey. Its one of those movies which can be watched with your kids and enjoy like they do.

Honesty and flamboyance don't go well together in any movie. You can't have flamboyant characterization for a honest story. If the director want to do a sincere cop movie, why does he has to give a james-bond type of characterization (I observed the similar mismatch in yesteryear's release Mallanna). The entire movie is divided into four parts - mother sentiment, speeches, action episodes and romance. The director succeeds in mother sentiment aspect. Speeches are partly good. Action sequences and romance part are negatives to the movie. There is a newspaper headline in this movie that reads as - elukanu pattina puli. After spending such amount of budget and creating huge hype, the final product delivered suit the headline mentioned above. On a whole, Komaram Puli disappoints despite of terrific performances of Pawan Kalyan and Saranya.
