Kaatu Puli opens with a nod to Quentin Tarantino, as Arjun's daughter goes into an epileptic seizure while watching a clip of Kill Bill (sweet)! We heard a few "meows" while Sayali Bhagat poses sexily but mainly the action just keeps coming as a group of hikers lost in the jungle are pursued by a tribe of demonic murderers after their precious organs! I was annoyed at the complete resemblance of one of the actresses to Snooki, but luckily she gets an arrow through the chest right away.
Kaattu puli full movie movie#
This is a B-action movie starring "Action King" Arjun Sarja (below), which tells the tale of a large-boobed big city woman running an illegal trade in human organs. I wouldn't have minded a bit more context on the publishing industry in India as it seems cheap paper editions still abound (but seemed to have died off in the west) but overall The Blaft Anthology has a good range of stories, interviews with authors and (best of all) there's a second volume that came out in 2010.Īlso got to sit in on a few Tamil pulp films, including Kaattu Puli which translates roughly into "Taken by Force". Some of the covers have wildly creative, photoshopped covers like the one below, the cover for Best Novel issue featuring Rajesh Kimar's Matchstick Number One (which appears in the anthology) - with the alluring face of Christina Aguilera as a vampire.
Other themes, like Tamil astrology, are more specific to South Indian culture. They also share western pulp themes: crime, corruption, monsters, mad scientists and romance. The Tamil pulps have a similar timeline as American and British pulps, if a bit of a later start but flourished in the 60s when works were printed on cheap, recycled paper and again in the 80s when desktop publishing allowed even cheaper production. The Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction (2008) was a lucky find as translator Pritham K Chakravarthy writes, not much of this kind of writing makes it into English. Just returning from a month out of the country where I stumbled on the awesomeness of Tamil-language pulp films and fiction. There's just something less awe-inspiring about an action scene knowing that it was pieced together by a computer geeks in a dark room, instead of by real blood-and-guts guys busting each others' chops.
How can everyone be in love with Sana whens he is not much more than a manipulative twit?Įndhiran certainly throws a lot of magic tricks at us (and some are quite inventive) but the over-reliance on CGI creates a kind of visual monotony, especially the scenes where the robot has made infinite duplicates of himself. Let's forget she seems about twenty years too young for Rajnikanth, is in her mid-30s but apparently still in university, and would have flunked all her courses if she hadn't cheated. She's the heroine, with no other supporting evidence other than the fact that she's gorgeous. I found Aishwayra Rai Bachchan's character Sana incredibly undersketched. Something else happens, blah, blah, blah (the movie is 3 hours long), humungous CGI ending. The robot gets a tingly sensation from the scientist's fiancee, but she doesn't want to honeymoon in Kashmir with a tin man. The story is a boilerplate Pygmalion: a scientist (played by Rajnikanth) creates a sophisticated robot (also Rajnikanth) but to provide it with a sense of morality, the robot is also equipped with emotions. Rajnikanth is so tough, he can kick a mosquito's ass!Įndhiran had some internet buzz in North America (one of the Youtube clips is titled "Best Action Scenes Ever!!!), for its over-the-top CGI effects.
