Event
Pudhupettai
Operatic in its plot and expressionistic in its visualization, Selvaraghavan's box-office smash is a high-octane thriller that follows the unlikely rise of Kokki Kumar (Dhanush) from petty criminal to powerful gang lord in the Pudhupettai slums of Chennai. Kokki returns home one night from the movies to find his mother dead at his father's hands. This cruelty of fate follows him every step of the way in his ascent to power and infamy. He spends brutal time in and out of jail, casually slits the throats of rival gang members in street fights and slaps around his mistresses once he tires of sleeping with them. Eventually, ambition, greed and revenge catch up with Kokki. In the words of Cameron Bailey (Toronto International Film Festival), "The look of the film is amazingI would compare it to City of God, Amores PerrosDhanush has the energy of a young Al Pacino."
