Even when it lacks assuredness in terms of form, Vellai Pookal remains sure-footed in its storytelling and keeps us engrossed.
Like the idea to gives us scenes where we see Rudhran committing the crime, to convey the fact that he puts himself in the shoes of the criminals to solve his cases. The visual recreation of the cop's thought process, though a bit inelegant, fares better.(more)

A cerebral thriller
A crime scene should be a difficult spot to stroll into, and Rudhran has it a bit too easy. Nevertheless, Vellai Pookal is a valiant effort by these newcomers. The film is cerebral but with the right amounts of suspense to keep your thoughts going. A film not to be missed!(more)
