Synopsis :
Pugazh (Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar) is a man on a mission. He first enters the scene when he rescues Raaka (Adithya Helios), an infamous weapons smuggler, from police capture. However, in an unexpected twist, Pugazh assassinates Raaka then goes into hiding.
While in a remote village Pugazh meets Janavi (Nayantara). To amuse himself he playfully woos her into a romantic relationship. Soon after both decide to marry each other, but Janavi wishes to seek her father’s permission. Her father, known as J.D. (Prakash Raj), invites Pugazh to his residence in Munich, Germany. What J.D. doesn’t realize is that Pugazh assassinated his former business partner Raaka, and now plans to kill J.D! Will he survive this assassin's creed?
Villu (The Bow) is the strangest film to come from the house of Tamil Cinema. Initially a remake of the Bollywood film Solider (1998) Villu goes one step further and adds many escapist moments. This includes; crazy wire-fu stunts, madcap CGI, colorful choreography, inpolitically correct humour, foot-tapping beats, bizarre gadgets, and a Swiss cow doing kung-fu! This is “Fistful of Curry”…at its best!
Directed by Prabhu Deva, better known for the website phenomenon “Benny Lava” (over 22 million web hits on youtube.com).
