Pathu Thala

It's a remake of movie Mufti, which is yet another ruined masterpiece.

Why I'm saying that is because the way Director tried to potrait the idea or persona of protagonist is way cloudy or looks fake. The story is well written to give him that aura and It doesn't need the directors vision to make him great.

Another reason is Movie don't need to lengthy for showcasing unrelavent events just for sake of HERO of the movie. And bad editing is making it worse.

Actors are good, Music is good, But director lacks the plot of the movie and tries to please the selective audiance through emotion, It's neo-nair genre you don't put scenes for that on screen. It's not 90's.

Yeah, This movie feels like I'm watching a movie which was released 30 years ago.

Some scenes are good, when movie focus on story. You can see the directors skills there. How good he is to craft a scene.

For God Shake, Indian Directors should stop please audiance though un relevant characters or names in the movies just for a certain agenda. That kills the soul of the movie.

Anyway, watch is this movie on your own, I won't recommend the headache.

6/10 for effort of all skilled people. They shouldn't carry the mistake of director.

Half baked Political Gangster Drama

Cliched gangster story , somehow they tried to give different treatment to it but failed in writing part . Inconsistent narration , mostly felt flat and lack of intriguing . Dialogues were poorly written and forced punch dialogues were totally odd . There were many characters but none of them were strong enough to shine , even AGR character . Even making was poor , scenes mostly lacked its continuity . Cast wise , Simbhu presence literally carried AGR and the whole movie , except few cast others did good job . Technical wise , cinematography was good , below average editing and poor dubbing . ARR's BGM and songs were mind blowing .

Overall , except for the Simbhu's screen presence and ARR's music movie had nothing much to deliver .

"Pathu Thala" is a Tamil action thriller film released in 2023, which is an adaptation of the Kannada film "Mufti". The cast of the film includes STR, Gautham Karthik, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Santhosh Prathap. The title "Pathu Thala" translates to "ten heads" in reference to Ravana, a character from Hindu mythology.

The film is impressive, with a notable performance by STR on screen. The background music (BGM) by A. R. Rahman brings the film to life. Gautham Karthik's acting is also incredible. The climax fight scene is particularly immersive and deserves to be seen in theaters. The songs and music videos are also of high quality, with a special mention for the song "Nee Singam Dhan", where STR is particularly remarkable.

However, the film also has some weaknesses, particularly at the beginning with some dull scenes and some special effects that could be improved.

In conclusion, "Pathu Thala" is a film that deserves to be watched in theaters, with an impressive performance by STR and excellent music. I give this film a rating of 8.5/10.

Crazy start of movie but failed to maintain the story in 2nd half,it's lagging ,surprised climax. Cinemotograpjy are good,all actors deserved by their performance.songs (raawadi) are unessential to the movie ,songs are ok but background score of Rahman sir is engaging to the movie. This movie not having a standard villian A perfect tribute to the original version of pathu thala(mufti) . A different kind of the gangster film. Once watchable. Must try well to the 2nd half (story) .it's just moving for character development of A. G. R(s.t.r) they had concentrated to the story development of pathu thala.

Pathu Thala- Rugged gangster movie with a classic take.

Hats off to the director Obeli Krishna who has penned every role with meticulous thinking and weighed them equally.

Content is rich and storytelling is on par, with politics as a background and a surprising foreground with subtle elements.

Gautam Karthik's smooth acting takes the first half with ease and lays the foundation. Silambarasan takes it over in the second half like a lion. His best role till date. He carries his role with sincerity and utmost maturity.

A. R. Rahman's music comes as a breathe of fresh air as he takes us to his magical best with BGM and few heart touching songs.

Don't miss this gem on Prime!
