Half way through #Purampokku. SP Jananathan has carefully managed to tread the 'preaching' line here. Quite authentic, but less engaging.

#Purampokku first half - Absolutely new to Tamil Cinema.. A movie which talks about prison & people around it in detail.. Vijay Sethupathi as drunkard Yemalingam had rocked along with Police officer Shaam. Arya underplays in the first half.. Technically brilliant with rich production values.. First half alone runs for 80 minutes

#Purampokku - @KarthikaNair9 equally performed. Fantastic art work and cinematography. Jananathan won my heart
Cult Classical movie. (3/3)
#Purampokku - @arya_official as communist come prisoner, @shaamactor as dedicated police officer & #VijaySethupathi as hangman rocked (2/3)
#Purampokku - Interesting escape plan becomes too emotional in climax. Jananathan rocked with dialogues and unique storyline. (1/3)

Half way through #Purampokku. Authentic prison drama with subtle & satire on the state in equal proportions. More of a serious docudrama.
