The thriller movie is truly among the best
Indian movies unfolding the brave life of a tiger hunter rescuing the poor
settlers living in a forest from viscious tigers devouring humans. The story starts with the events that turn a
poor boy to become the brave tiger hunter saving human lives and become
Pulimurukan. A poor boy lives in wilderness in a forest infested with tigers.
During an escape from the from forest guards, the boy, his little infant
brother and father runs into a tigers domain. After their futile attempt to
flee from the tiger, the father has to sacrifice his life and become prey to
the tiger for saving the lives of his little children. The poor boy pledges to
kill the tiger that took the life of his father. With ample help and planning
with his uncle the poor boy manages to kill the tiger. However, the viscious
attacks of the tigers continue to haunt the poor people and the tigers continue
to devour them. The brave boy turns to a tiger hunter after mastering
techniques to kill the tigers cleverly. He attains the title of Pulimurukan or
the brave tiger hunter. The movie is splendid for its excellent cinematography
and direction. The fight scenes are also excellent. It is a different story, plot and theme alike.
The unique film has almost no monotonous song, dance and romance scenes.
Instead every scene is relevant and shot to enlighten the interplay of the
characters. Moreover, there is no villain and fights between people in the
movie. Instead in the first part, there is conflict between human being and the
animals. This theme is deviation from the stories highlighting the
materialistic fights between human beings for power, money or materials. Later,
the hero has conflicts with human beings only to assert his rights. Finally,
the film ends with a fight between the hero, the villain and a devouring tiger.
The hero leaves the villain to be devoured by the tiger and punishes him for
his evil deeds. That was the only time the brave hunter left human to be
devoured by the tiger and spared the life of the viscious animal. The film is
full of noble insights and values emanated by the brave tiger hunter in his
eventful life. Truly a splendid film to watch and enjoy…
