Review of Aadukalam (2011) by Sujay G — 07 Jul 2011
Aadukalam was a good movie.
The story wasn't that appealing to me, but I liked the rooster fight scenes. The effects were done quite well and looked almost real. I also enjoyed Dhanush's acting a lot! His character reminded me of his role in Pudhupettai. Although Aadukalam won six awards at the 58th National Film Awards, including the awards for Best Director (Vetrimaran) and Best Actor (Dhanush), I thought Dhanush's performance was better in Pudhupettai. That movie never won any awards and that's a pity, because the performance of Dhanush and the story were better than Aadukalam.
I also enjoyed Dhanush's kuthu dance. He dances so naturally and I really like that.
Newcomer Taapsee as the heroine was a bad choice according to me. She didn't match Dhanush and I didn't see any chemistry between them either.
The movie is fun, enjoyable and had enough fights (which I mainly fastforward in Tamil movies), but sometimes the movie felt like it's going on slow.
