Professional critics and Vijay fans are not satisfied with the movie in general. General audience and children are liking it.

The problem is the budget. They say it is 110 crore or so. Entertainment tax is not waived for this movie!!

Puli denied tax exemption
Posted in Entertainment By Ayyappa Prasad On October 2, 2015

Chennai, Oct 2(tamilnaducentral): Puli has been denied tax exemption by the screening committee of the State Government. The order was passed on September 29th.The committee denied the tax exemption as it was found to have excessive violence, no value for human rights, vulgarity and violence against woman and children. The members from the filmdom in the committee found that violence was more but felt that there was no vulgarity. Kirumi too was denied tax exemption on grounds of excessive violence.

Commercial taxes official in the committee said the film Puli was propagating superstitious belief and was against the Tamil culture. Violence was in excess and children’s neck being cut and direct shots of murder of women as well as vulgarity in song sequences.The film Puli had no place for human rights , they noted. Three members from the filmdom was yesteryear actress M N Rajam, playback singer Raghavan and Maharajan. Maharajan said the lyrics had double meaning and the shot of a 12 year girl’s head being chopped was deplorable. The other two members disagreed with the view that there was vulgarity but agreed that Puli had an overdose of violence. They also pointed out that Puli had a U censor certificate and a Tamil title. Finally on the ground of excessive violence, Puli was denied tax exemption. Earlier Payum Puli a Vishal starrer was denied tax exemption. VSOP an Arya starrer had pro-prohibition activists asking the committee to not give tax exemption as it glorified drinking and was named after a popular brandy. The committee however granted it exemption. VSOP did have an excessive dose of liquor drinking scenes in the film.

Rejection of tax means that distributor loses 30% of the revenue from the ticket sales and add to it the theatre rentals as well as payment to Qube for projection.

Papanasam the Kamal starrer was rejected by the tax committee as it showed police in bad light and parents were covering up the crime of their children. Coincidentally the TV rights is with Sun TV. Stalin’s son Udhayanidhi a producer- actor moved the courts saying that all his films were denied tax exemption on flimsy ground. Supreme Court set a time frame for the committee to take a decision after getting an application but did not frame any guidelines.////

The movie has to make at least 150 crores to recover its production cost!! Can kids and family audience help making such an amount?

Hindi media will put this movie down. Telugu media ? I am not sure. If it makes a big sum from overseas (that's quite possible), it can help a lot. Let us see!

You can believe him

...I really appreciate Vijay for doing this movie bcoz I'm so sure that he knew that his fans will not be so happy without mass elements in the movie but still he did it...perhaps he intentionally did it for his family audience and kids...you can surely give a try I hope you won't regret...
