Obeli N Krishna wrote the screenplay and directed the movie Pathu Thala, which was funded by KE Gnanavel Raja and Jayantilal Gada under the production companies Studio Green and Pen Studios, respectively.The film stars Silambarasan TR, Priya Bhavani Shankar, and Gautham Karthik in the key roles, and Gautham Vasudev Menon, Anu Sithara, Kalaiyarasan, Teejay Arunasalam, Santhosh Prathap, and Redin Kingsley are among the talented actors who play supporting roles.Farook J. Basha is in charge of the cinematography, and AR Rahman is in charge of the music.AGR (Silambarasan TR) is the leader of a very strong gang that controls every political decision made in Tamil Nadu.In the meantime, Guna (Gautham Karthik), an important gang member in Vizag, participates in the shooting of a police officer.In AGR's camp, where he seeks safety, it is discovered that Guna is actually an undercover police officer.Why is AGR complicit in every crime?What Pathu Thala is all about is these queries.The acclaimed Kannada movie Mufti has an official Tamil remake called Pathu Thala.It appears that screenplay revisions have been made by director Obeli N Krishna.There is yet another justification for the choice of literature, but I won't give it away in case you decide to see the movie anyhow.This is pretty much the entire plot that could be expressed in complete phrases.The remainder of the film is a horrific tale of vigilantism, covert police, loyalty, betrayal, and countless shots of Simbu merely pacing across the frame while scowling angrily.Even though he constantly has at least ten automobiles lined up at his disposal, he occasionally walks up to the chopper that is always flying overhead.Simbu deserves praise if for no other reason than the fact that he waits to enter his own movie till the very end.The screenplay of Pathu Thala is woven tight — more than the source material — but there are too many issues in how this film is paced. None of the characters manages to create an impact, and everything feels rushed. Selvam (Teejay Arunasalam), along with Sabari and Singa, are the right-hand men of AGR; the film touts them as significant but doesn’t care enough to give them any importance in the story.Even the romance with Gautham Karthik is unappealing.Even the romance with Gautham Karthik is unappealing. We learn right on that Leela Thompson (Priya Bhavani Shankar), the recently appointed Tahsildar of the Kanyakumari district, was once in love with Sakthivel. The crime lord and Sakthivel are both aware that Leela is at odds with AGR's guys. Wouldn't you view your ex being in the same town, let alone being involved in the matter, as a loose end that needs to be dealt with if you were an undercover cop trying to capture a mobster who has slain more than 40 such spies? The two never had a dialogue about his association with the mafia.Even the romance with Gautham Karthik is unappealing.
