Plot

The plot unfolds in a reverse-chronological fashion. It focuses on the life of the protagonist, Seena, and the evolution of his character due to external forces that sway him in different directions. Women/lovers involved in Seena's life contribute to these forces that trigger the Metamorphosis of his character. He goes from being a garage mechanic to a prominent leader in the underworld mafia.

"Popcorn" Devi, one of the lovers, has a profound impact on Seena's life. The back story on how "Popcorn" Devi got involved with the underworld unfolds parallelly alongside Seena's story.

Reception

Popcorn Monkey Tiger received positive reviews from critics.

Critical response

Sunayna Suresh of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 and wrote "While fans of crime and gore will enjoy this, Popcorn Monkey Tiger is a film that unintentionally glorifies the underworld in more ways than one."[10] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Popcorn Monkey Tiger is original and has Suri's signature all over it. This is a film for all the lovers of the director's work, as well as for the fans of Dhananjay, and for those who adore the mafia-based films."[11]

Y. Maheshwara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "It is worth watching if you want to see Dhananjaya in a different avatar and also ready to cope with sound pollution caused by indecent dialogues."[12] Aravind Shwetha of The News Minute praised the film's reverse chronological screenwriting and wrote "Popcorn Monkey Tiger is raw, rugged and realistic, and a must-watch for mass movie lovers."[13]
