Lacks the Fizz
Pugazh plays out flatly for the most part. For a film that is supposed to be packed with a certain tension it lacks the fizz(more)

Run-of-the-mill Political Drama
Pugazh may not be a fascinating political drama, but it has enough in it to make you sit through for 2 hours and 6 minutes. (more)

Jai fights land sharks in a flawed screenplay
Obviously, the film begins to look and sound disjointed with several scenes not fitting into the puzzle. To top it all, Pugazh�s superman avatar at the end -- when he vanquishes at least 25 sickle-waving men all by himself on the playground -- is as good as ill-conceived fantasy.(more)

An Engaging Tale of Public Activism, 'Pugazh' is a pretty decent action entertainer.

Jai, Surabhi's film is out-and-out arid
There are a very few elements in the film which might grab your attention, like the romance between Jai and Bhuvana (though Surabhi is cast terribly in the girl-next-door role. She looks like an uber-glamorous model, for god's sake!), those details about how even the chairman of an area finds it hard to buy a bike for his son, the importance of a playground for any community, but these get buried deep in Manimaran's bland screenplay. The last twenty minutes of the film test your patience. HR managers can play the last portion of the film instead of a stress interview. Hire anyone who survives the excruciating pain without showing any sign of disgust. (more)
