Vishal Krishna and Kajal Aggarwal starrer "Paayum Puli" has opened to fairly positive reviews from the audience and critics. The film has been written and directed by Suseenthiran.

Story:
Cop Jayaseelan (Vishal) is an undercover cop who tries to nab the culprits, who are responsible for the death of a businessman in the city. How does his investigation affect him, where does it take him and who is behind the killings? Answers to these questions form the interesting part of the story.

Afraid of the dark and to cross roads alone, Kajal Aggarwal will be seen in a different avatar as she plays the role of a woman named Sowmya, who runs a nursery. The story is inspired from a real-life incident and has a message for the audience.

Apart from Vishal and Kajal, we have Samuthirakani, Soori, Harish Uthaman, RK, Ashwini Dutta, Jayaprakash, Murali Sharma and others in the cast. Nikita Thukral has done an item number in "Paayum Puli". The movie has D Imman's music, Velraj's cinematography and Anthony's editing.

Review:
"Paayum Puli" has garnered positive reviews from the cine-goers. Though the film does not have a great content, it manages to keep the audience entertained with its commercial ingredients. Vishal is impressive in his role of a cop, Samuthikirani shines in his powerful role of Vishal's brother and rest others are okay. In the technical department, background score by Imaan is topnotch. Below, we bring you the audience's response to the movie:

#PaayumPuli Last 20 mins saves the film! Climax fight was gud, kajal disappears in 2nd hlf, nothing new in the script, one tym watch:)
#PaayumPuli Decent 1st hlf, muyal kutty song & interval twist super! Other 2 songs r unwanted! Plain script, soori's few comedy scenes r gud

#PaayumPuli - Kajal Agarwal, Love scenes and Songs are the biggest drawbacks in this movie. Could have avoided all these is my opinion
#PaayumPuli - Samuthirakani as @VishalKOfficial brother shines through out.Be it any character role,he is getting very much ease to it.
#PaayumPuli - @dir_susee has setup the first half well and exploded with very good sequences in the 2nd half.Racy and intellectual too.
#PaayumPuli - @VishalKOfficial as Cop impresses throughout the movie.Finally a good movie from him where he played a cop role.
#PaayumPuli - A cop thriller where the hero goes in finding who is the leader of a local rowdy gang in Madurai.Brilliantly Executed(3.5/5)
#PaayumPuli - First half : Film nicely setup for the 2nd half with a good twist towards interval. Songs & Love scenes big hindrance to flow

#PaayumPuli - Another Madurai based but different film by director Suseenthiran. It cud hv been better with little more depth in screenplay!
#PaayumPuli - Velraj's fine cinematography & Anthony's racy cuts are big plus! Imman's songs & BGM matches the tone of the film well.
#PaayumPuli - Vishal looks fit & superb as encounter police! Neat performance by Samuthirakani, Soori and Kajal hv done their job well.
#PaayumPuli - Nice cop drama with right emotional touch, executed with slight commercial ingredients. Worth watching! (7.5/10)

#PaayumPuli 2.5/5 @VishalKOfficial is terrific in action & emotional climax. #Samuthirakani role not well etched, #KajalAggarwal no comments
#PaayumPuli 2.50/5. Trouble formulaic 1st half ,no story, Seen b4 romance , flat comedy & 3 songs. Post interval #Suseenthiran gets a grip.
#PaayumPuli 2.50/5 . So-So. A typical template undercover cop annihilating the bad guys flick that picks up tempo in the last 20 minutes.

#PaayumPuli - 1st Half : Follows a linear path of straightforward encounter killing so far.. A solid twist at the interval.. 2nd half is key
#PaayumPuli [3/5]: @immancomposer songs and BGM are a plus.. @dir_susee shd be commended for 2nd half.. But not at #PaandiyaNadu level..
#PaayumPuli [3/5]: #KajalAggarwal has a limited role.. #Soori comedy is on and off.. @thukralnikita 's special song is peppy & energetic
#PaayumPuli [3/5]: @VishalKOfficial has performed well especially when family and duty collides.. #Samuthrakani has a powerful role..
#PaayumPuli [3/5]: Movie starts in a formulaic note.. But picks up steam & interestin in the 2nd half.. An emotional Encounter Cop story..

‪#‎PaayumPuli‬ - Vishal + Suseenthiran combo couldn't even give 50% of ‪#‎PandiyaNaadu‬.. Movie turns out to be avg usual commercial cop action oriented movie.
‪#‎PaayumPuli‬ First half - Yet another usual Madurai based commercial cop action movie with twist in the interval. Stage set for the second half & Success of the movie heavily relies on the second half.
