The gang extort money from influential businessmen based in Madurai. Paayum Puli is the story of Jayaseelan (Vishal), an undercover cop who takes on a mafia gang. So I wouldn’t deny that my expectations were high with Paayum Puli, which sees the return of this director-actor duo. The film marked a great comeback for Vishal in Kollywood. Vishal underplayed himself as the timid Shivakumar who goes on to avenge his brother’s death, supported by a brilliant performance from Barathiraja. Vishal’s best film to date, Pandiyaandu was also a revenge story, but one that didn’t have a common man performing superhuman stunts to defeat the villain. He repeated the Naan Mahaan Alla magic with Pandiyanaadu in 2013. In fact, revenge seems to Suseenthiran’s favourite genre. The second half was gritty, and univocally focused on revenge. The first half, despite being fun and jolly, ended on a grim note and whetted the audiences’ appetite. It felt like I was watching two different films. I was amazed by the way the film panned out, both before and after the interval. The first Suseenthiran film I watched was Naan Mahaan Alla in 2010.
