Except for the 1st half, the film didn't seem to be dragging. More action in the 1st half would have made this film more gripping. Only after the interval, the movie starts to get a bit racy. There are unwanted songs thrown in, couple of encounters and a dummy heroine. Suseenthiran had a solid script but the screenplay, especially in the first half was pathetic. In between there is some maane theney ponmaaney stuff with the heroine, which never makes sense to me. What's that and what happened after that is the rest of the story. His finds the culprit and there is a surprise in store for him. But later he learns that the main mastermind behind all these murders and kidnaps is still out there and he takes up this case officially to nab the gangster.

Payum Puli is about a undercover cop, who is on a mission to find and kill the culprit who murdered a policeman. The trailer looked interesting and I expected one roller coaster of a movie but since Tamil cinema is plagued by commercial elements like love, songs, heroine etc so the main story always takes a back seat. Vishal is always a good choice for cop roles because he is fit and looks believable as a cop. After the super hit Pandiyanadu, Vishal - Suseenthiran combo is back with payum puli.
