Watchable typical Hari-formula emotional action drama
Director takes us through a roller coaster in the first half. But it feels like Hari loses the grip post interval a bit and the film plods in the second half, with misplaced song sequences and repetitive action blocks. (more)

Typical Hari entertainer
Hari's strong point is action, and he has delivered well in all the action sequences. Fights are innovative and detailed, while being realistic too. Costume design has been set perfectly in place. Choreography takes the lead in the songs, making the number seem less tiresome.(more)

Typical Hari mass entertainer
Poojai is another Hari made formula movie with a larger than life hero, large supporting cast of family members, loyal servants and villains. The milieu is Coimbatore and follows the director�s regular template in filmmaking. (more)

The filmic equivalent of reading a gripping spy novel
Director Hari has decided to bring out the fireworks this Diwali with Poojai, a film consisting of craze, bombast, coincidences, and logic of sorts to ground the action and make it palatable. Vishal as Vasu is at the forefront of this action - loud, brash, and macho like, comprising a big part of this commercial puzzle very well.(more)

Poojai an all-hero show, does great disservice to heroine, villain
Gopalakrishnan has written Poojai with the mindset that anything that comes from his camp will be lapped up by audiences, no matter how good or bad it is. After all, he's the master of commercial entertainers such as Saamy and Singam. If you've followed his films over the years, it's easier to predict Poojai from start to finish with eyes closed. Because of which you realise the director never tries to innovate with his films and usually sticks to a template he's done to death.(more)
