Waste of time. Jai is an influential person in his locality and fights for social causes. When a local politician and a minister try to convert their sports ground into a bottling plant, Jai opposes it and fights against them. Who wins the battle forms the basic plot. We have seen a similar plot in Dhool but in that film the hero uses his brains in a believable manner. In Pugazh the hero is shown as a macho man beating people in an unbelievable manner. The goons who want to kill him get into a hand fight and don’t use the knife! There is even an instance when they hit him in his head without killing him and another time when they come to kill him but slash his brother and a friend. Total crap. The only saving grace is the charming Surabhi.
