Diagonaldi Very well executed

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

santhosh-10290 The movie was very good. Songs and BGM in the movie was good. Dhanush acted very well in the movie. But the 2nd half in the movie lagged very much.

GokeD I wanted to watch Amores perros for a long time and thanks to vetrimaran for giving credits at the end of this film. Innaritu's one deals with the human emotions with the Dog fighting in the background while vetrimaran's is Rooster fight. But they are totally different. Only thing which bugs me is why they had to reprise a particular soundtrack from the film. Except for that it isn't a rip off. The director's research about Rooster fight,Madurai(location where the film takes place) and the people are all sure for a great applause keeping in mind that the director hails from northern part of Tamilnadu. CG part involving the rooster fight were mediocre. But they killed it with an amazing screenplay.

suriya narayanan Once we know, Tamil cinema is filled with actors and directors, who concentrate on movies, which concentrated on unbelievable fight scenes and songs in unusual circumstances. But i can see that it is slowly moving into the other side of the cinema, which touches the heart of normal people and in the mean time giving what they need. The movie must have been a complete drama or power packed actions, but the director he brilliantly made this movie in neither of the genre but mixes several genre like action, drama, romance, thriller etc in a single movie but concentrating more on the thrill in the drama, which is very rare in world movies. The songs are beautiful and he used it at right times. Brilliant performance by dhanush, haven't seen him doing a believable performance in many of his movies. In this movie, he was perfect in most of the scenes with his dialogues. But the best part is the movie is not just concentrated on a single character of the movie(99% of Tamil movies will have a story centers around a single character) but it focuses on multiple characters. The other actors performed equally and some better than dhanush. the movie deserves many awards and for sure it is a path breaking movie in Tamil cinema.

lenin7787 I am stun after watching the movie. The first half of the movie is a very well made entertainer set on a different backdrop (rooster fights). The second half of the movie is totally new for Tamil cinema industry. It deals with the dark side of a man who once used to be good and a governess. Humiliated by his wrong decisions and greediness, how a good man turns self centered and egotistic is what Aadukalam deals with.Dhanush as an actor is at his best after Pudupettai. He has done a lot of hard work for this movie. Topsee the female lead has shown good performance for a new comer. Vetrimaran, this man is really clever and he knows how to make a splendid entertainer which will be considered a good movie even after many years. The characterization of the movie is so fine, that they stay in our hearts for a longtime. Some very important events that happen in the movie are not filmed as part of the movie, but the way they are been conveyed it to the audience, it is wonderful, for example the Pettaikaran getting beaten by the policemen and when Karupus's (Dhanush) mother dies.With regards to the graphics used in the movie, it is very well made and has come out natural that does not make you feel that its graphics but there is a notice in the upfront very beginning of the movie, that the rooster fights shown in this movie are graphics. The interval sequence, WOW it is an edge of the seat thriller. I nearly wondered what could be there in a movie after such a wonderful interval sequence. But there is really something thoughtful even after the interval. Finally the climax of the movie, which made me think for at least two weeks, whether I have seen a similar climax in any other movies so far. My answer was NO, I haven't come across this kind of climax. But to make clear the climax is not so huge or entertaining it is very soft, subtle and accepted, which makes the film more appealing.There is everything in the movie rage, egocentric, humor, love, warmth, and passion. This is definitely a must watch!!!
