The role performed by STR is something that some elder actor must've done since it has such significance and requires someone at a superstar level to do this role but when STR does it, it just brings down the movie and doesn't add anything to the film at all. STR could be saved only if he comes down from the thinking that he's one of the biggest actors, IMO he's not even among the third-tier list of actors, his movies are talked about just because of his gossip, they run not for content but just for the gossip. The Gautham Karthik role was an apt one and the overall plot though resembles the Pokiri movie, still works with decent characterisation and the evolution of the scenes as the film runs with a nice screenplay, this film probably would've given a break to the actors but I feel the spotlight was stolen by STR and not given to this actor, probably if the STR role would've been performed by someone like Rajkiran, then would've become a good one, yet it is still a one-time watchable one for sure.

The first part was going a bit fast, The next part of the film was going a slow. I dint see any lag in the movie, I thought they could have increased the tension at the climax fight scene, the fight scene had a rising tension but suddenly it fell down in AGR's horse entry scene, If they had like AGR fighting with 5 people at the same time it would have been even engaging. But one plus was the drone shot during the fight scene were nice. The music was very excellent, ARR 👍as always!!! Acting - Simbu - 9/10 Goutham Karthik - 8/10 Priya Bhavani - 7/ 10 Music - 9/10 Story - 8/10 Screenplay - 8/10.

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!

This movie was a nice attempt at remaking Shivaraj kumar and Murali starrer kannada movie Mufti...but turned out it could not create the impact it made in Kannada..it was a super hit in kannada but in tamil not sure....the protagonist put all his efforts though....but couldn't match the original in kannada which Dr Shivaraj kumar played eloquently...Simbu's previous movie was much better than this , sorry unable to recall the name of his previous movie.... however Simbu put all his effort to carry the movie on his own shoulder....even dubbing and editing were not crisp and felt like there was no continuity.

I feel that the director should focus on film casting until AGR arrives! Obeli Krishna created one of Tamil cinema's best films, STR lived as an AGR! His screen presence and narration are both outstanding! After Goutham Menon, this man only knows how to use STR! These kinds of scripts should be chosen by STR! Goutham Karthick also provided his best acting effort, however Priya Bhavani's character is unworthy, and I'm not sure why she's there! Overall, this film is a must-see for STR fans! ;(Notable elements are the final fight, the Birthday Song, the STR entry, and Goutham Menon's villainsm) I'm looking forward to seeing Obeli Krishna's next film!

The first half of the movie was interesting and unique in its own way. Although Simbu did not show his face much in this part, it still had a significant impact. However, the second half followed the usual clichés of Indian masala movies. Nevertheless, Simbu's decision to not have any particular heroine dance for him made the movie stand out from the typical masala movie fare. As for the music, the legendary AR Rahman's BGM and tunes were impeccable, as expected from such an accomplished artist. Gautam Menon has been recently showcasing his skills as a villain on screen, and it is quite fitting to his mannerisms. However, the movie as a whole can be classified as another Kollywood masala blockbuster.

1st half 1) It's something new but same commercial formula... It's half of a political drama and half of a gangster drama...But the complexity around the first half makes audiences can't connect with the story... 2) Studio green has done a poor promotion just potraying STR as the mass hero... But not Gowtham Karthik... He's travelled throughout the story so that he's also a hero but i can't bear him as a hero and I think his role deserved someone better than him 3) Some scenes of Priyabhavani Shankar ( Especially college scenes) are not necessary but the song is absolutely stunning... Redin Kinsley's comedies are not comedies but irritating and this makes me to get out of the theatre but i still engaged for the entry of Str 2nd half It's a normal commercial thing showing hero first with a negative shade and later on showing him with a positive shade... But it's a different role for STR as a mature and silent gangster and it's one of his career best... At the same time GVM has done a great job really as a villian... By watching 2nd half i could understand what's the story But nothing special about the other characters I must give 10 stars thanks to ARR and Cinemagrapher Farook J. Baasha and Editor Praveen KL... Visauls are outstanding especially the climax scene with STR's screen presence is lit 🔥...Bgms and songs are pretty good for me Overall it's a worthy entertainer for family audience and STR fans and Cool Suresh too 😂

Definitely one of the best political crime dramas we've ever witnessed!! A bit of prolonged narrative, yet the screenplay assembles every string right into one place and delivers satisfiable amount of exciting & entertaining sequences throughout the runtime, And the entire setup for the main plot is wonderfully done... STR's character establishment and buildups by other actors throughout the first half stimulates the thrilling factor for audience!! Furthermore, after the enthralling interval block the movie paces up in the second half and proceeds towards the main plot with uplifting conflict point!! Simbu's Brother-Sister bond worked big time emotionally!! And character progression among other lead roles is quite fascinating... Every production member that has involved gave their A-level contribution to the climax portion set!!
