Plot


The film revolves around two men who are poles apart in their lifestyle:

Firstly, we see Kasi, who is a Madurai based youth who lives in a local area in Chennai. He works in a supermarket and earns only Rs. 3500 salary. He is in love with Selvi, a young girl who works with him, and they always eat together. He has a close friend Chokku. Valliappan, their manager always ill-treats Kasi even though he behaves in a good natured.

Then, we get introduced to Karthik, a rich businessman who is in a relationship with his colleague Monica. Unknown to Monica, his fiancee Pavithra is in love with him. Karthik's phone contains a few sex videos with Monica, and it reaches Kasi during an argument between Karthik and Monica when she finds out that he is engaged to Pavithra.

Kasi hides Karthik’s phone he and uses Karthik to solve his problems made by Valliappan. When Selvi finds out that Karthik's phone is with him, she tells him to give it back; otherwise, she will not talk to him. He tells Karthik that he will return the phone. When he was going to tell the place where Kasi is, the phone's battery was dead. Kasi gives the phone to his friend, who owns a mobile shop to charge. He finds the sex videos, uploads them to YouTube and exposes them without Kasi's knowledge. When Karthik sees it, he thinks that Kasi uploaded it. Hence, Karthik decides to seek revenge. Monica tries to commit suicide thinking that Karthik exposed their affair to the world, and she gets hospitalized. Karthik finds Kasi, and a chase occurs between both of them. Karthik beats Kasi very badly, and Kasi retaliates and hits Karthik. Both get injured, and Kasi reveals that he was not the one who posted the videos in YouTube. He goes to his friend with Karthik and they both thrash him to death.

Karthik goes to the hospital to meet Monica, and they both reconcile. She gets discharged from the hospital, and Karthik takes good care of her. Kasi comes to meet him with Selvi with some fruits. Karthik gives his phone to Kasi and tells to keep it with him.

Sify wrote, "somehow the wafer thin story of Puli Vaal and its making leaves you cold and detached. Everything looks too manipulative, and look and feel does not have a local nativity. The ending is also a tame affair".[7] Behindwoods gave it 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "director Marimuthu allows the plot play out like a game with lifeless thrills, and whenever he does manage to build suspense he breaks it down with narratives that are tangential to the story".[8] Indiaglitz gave it 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "But for a few minor glitches...Pulivaal is "a highly entertaining movie".[9] Cinemalead's Siddarth Srinivas loathed the film, rating it 1.5 stars on 5.[10] Baradwaj Rangan of the Hindu wrote "At the heart of Pulivaal, adapted from the Malayalam film Chaappa Kurishu, is the grim truth that we cannot control life, and that the things we do can sometimes spiral into disastrous consequences for innocents."[11]
