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.

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…
