The way MGR drives the Jeep in dense forest, his silambam fight and fight with the tiger are worth mentioning. When MGR tries to hide inside rock boulders from the tiger attack the camera work was awesome with a medium shot  the frame is almost dark and MGR’s glittering face is the only visible part for the entire frame this scene lasts for some seconds.
