Honesty and flamboyance don't go well together in any movie. You can't have flamboyant characterization for a honest story. If the director want to do a sincere cop movie, why does he has to give a james-bond type of characterization (I observed the similar mismatch in yesteryear's release Mallanna). The entire movie is divided into four parts - mother sentiment, speeches, action episodes and romance. The director succeeds in mother sentiment aspect. Speeches are partly good. Action sequences and romance part are negatives to the movie. There is a newspaper headline in this movie that reads as - elukanu pattina puli. After spending such amount of budget and creating huge hype, the final product delivered suit the headline mentioned above. On a whole, Komaram Puli disappoints despite of terrific performances of Pawan Kalyan and Saranya.

Genuinely disappointed:(

Komaram Puli has finally been released after much hype created since over past one year. Personally, I've been waiting for this movie since I loved Khushi (Surya & Pavan's combo). But Puli turns out to be a disaster:(
There's more than few aspects that have gone terribly wrong here. Main drawback of the film is the introduction itself...Any movie casts it's first impression with it's opening scene. Too many graphics are used in Puli's intro scene. Pavan's birth scene appears extremely unconvincing.
Pavan Kalyan's character becomes over-emotional in each and every scene, and his long stereotyped speeches (sankalpam unte blah blah) end up bugging the audience. First fight reminds an animation film. Camera work is overly glaring in all parts. I wonder why Surya tried to showcase even ordinary scenes in such a jarring manner. Dailogues are often more powerful than what the scene actually demands. Nikisha tried to impress with her oomph, but her makeup and costumes are bizarre in most scenes.
Songs scored by A.R.R created a positive expectations before the release. But most of them were pictured weakly. Especially, 'Amma thalli' song has no relation between the actual song and picturization. Once again, camera work is experimental through out this song.
This surely will remain the worst movie both in S.J.Surya's and Pawan Kalyan's careers.

Far from Expectations...
ravikishore00912 September 2010
Komaram Puli with a lot of expectations released on 10th September starring Pawan Kalyan,Nikisha Patel & Shriya in guest appearance. After seeing movie it is fact that it is way far than expectations. Pawan Kalyan looked awesome and Nikisha Patel acting and look is not good. Shriya marked her presence with her Sizzling Performance.
Unnecessary usage of graphics in Fights especially in first fight had a huge negative impact on movie. Pawan Kalyan's Flow of delivering dialogues is soo fast that some dialogues are not even understandable. Usage of guns in action sequences is very high. No Comedy scenes can be seen. Songs come in the movie without timing.
A big Plus point to this movie is Academy award winner A.R.Rehman's Music and Background Score. It almost touched Every viewer's Heart.
Overall the movie is average and My rating is 2 on the scale of 5.

An absolute disaster...Certainly not what you expect from the hit duo of Kushi

Warning: Spoilers
To start with, the result of this movie is solely to be blamed onto the director S.J. Surya as is the case with his other movies.
His direction is an absolute disaster. He completely failed in managing the movie's screenplay as the audience's patience is continually put to a test. The movie is like a clubbing of several parts, with all the scenes with the heroine put together and so are the scenes with the villain.
Coming to the performances, Pawan Kalyan played an entirely new role as a Police officer when compared to his previous roles as a lover boy. He single handedly managed to hold the movie together and tried to bring the film to the audience. His dialogue delivery was simply awesome, however the repetition of some dialogues and the certainty of truth in them makes the audience feel like receiving a lecture. Nikeesha Patel on the other hand was just portrayed like a clown, with the director using her only to cast her in the songs. Speaking of the songs, A.R. Rehman the great academy award winner has failed for the first time with his background score, as the scenes are completely out of shape and the background score hasn't done anything to help its cause.
Manoj Bajpai in his role as a villain is shown as the ruler of an entire state but the director failed in maintaining the uniformity of the role in the film throughout as the great villain in the first half turns completely into a cat in the second. Nasser and Charan Raj did well but that's all that can be said about their roles.
I'd give this movie a 6/10 because of the performances from Pawan and Saraya who did justice for their roles. But the film is definitely not upto the expectations of the general audience as the previous combination of the duo of Kalyan and Surya--KUSHI was an all time blockbuster.
Finally, the film could have been much better if the director tried to put some sense into the movie. However, certain positive elements like the dialogues(by the writer and Kalyan's delivery of them) is definitely observable.
