Forbes Magazine:
Despite an onslaught of negative reviews and a concerted effort by India’s tax collectors to impede the film’s opening day screenings, India’s big budget fantasy-adventure Puli scored a solid opening day domestic gross of 216 million rupees (US$3.3 million) on Wednesday. Given the film’s 1.18 billion rupee ($18 million) budget, it’s a reasonably good start, but the producers will be hoping for many more good days ahead if they’re to break even on the effects-heavy film.

Ironically, in the film Vijay plays a character who comes to the defense of peasants in a kingdom that attacks them when they fail to pay their taxes.
Critics reviews were mixed to poor, with much praise for the film’s visual effects and costumes, but with biting and even savage criticism of the plotting, pace, acting, music, and story logic.
Among others, “The Hindustan Times” called Puli a “fantastic flop,” “utterly disappointing” and “unbearable to watch,” and gave the film just 1 star out of 5. “The Times of India” gave Puli 2.5 stars, calling it ”a fantasy… told in an amateur fashion” that “fails to entertain.”
