However, there's more to her story than what meets the eye. Queen Yamanadevi (Sridevi), to whom Jalatharangam reports to, is know for her magical power and seems to allow all the evil activities carried out by Vetals in her kingdom. Now after years of being beaten down by Vetals, Magadheera (Vijay) is the only hope of the poor villagers for he's the only one who can put up a fight against the evil Vetal leader Jalatharangam (Sudeep) and his band of monsters. Soon the Vetals started looting their peace-loving human subjects.

PULI begins with a back story that explains how 'Vetals' (evil vampire like beings) attacked and took over a number of villages in South India, which became their kingdom and they also got a similar base in North India. Will Sridevi's much talked about comeback film be successful in 'PULI-ing' the audience to the theatres or will it just fizzle out at the box-office.

Rajamouli's BAHUBALI because of the period setting and the cavalier father-son brave-heart-story though PULI ends up looking like an ordinary cousin of the magnificent giant that created a rage few months back. Though Sridevi doesn't disappoint in the film, this big budgeted fantasy drama falters on many fronts. There was a lot of interest around this week's dubbed release PULI, because of the presence of Sridevi in this big budget fantasy movie.
