Improvisation is the need of the hour in cinema, but Sasikumar seems to be pushing it under the carpet by continuing to do mass-appeal films. He may be successful, but this success is not likely going to last forever. Kutti Puli (Sasikumar) lost his father at a young age in a local gang rivalry, and since then has been raised single-handedly by his mother, who fears that he will grow up to be just like his father. Unfortunately, he does grow up to be like his father and even picks up the same traits that got him killed. The film struggles in the second half and unnecessarily gets dragged by songs and few cliched fight sequences.No matter how hard the mother tries, her efforts only prove futile because Puli lives by his own principles. While all the elements have been used appropriately at regular intervals, one doesn't find anything new to be excited about. You will also notice that the film is high on elements commonly found in Sasikumar's films such as friendship, revenge, family, witty one-liners and lots of blood and gore. Thankfully, he doesn't make this whole mother and wife analogy sound too preachy, but uses it far too occasionally in the film. Even though the film is a commercial entertainer at heart, debutant director Muthaiah has played the sentimental card extremely well to keep the audiences hooked through certain emotional moments. The film very subtly highlights that two most important women in our lives are mother and wife, who have very pivotal parts to play. What makes Puli have a change of heart and eventually agree to marry? This forms the rest of the story. But Puli is against marriage because he believes that with so many people who wish to see him dead, his future wife may have live like his mother, who was left behind by his father.

However, she believes if she could get him married then probably he may turn responsible and take control of his life. No matter how hard the mother tries, her efforts only prove futile because Puli lives by his own principles.
