An undercover cop sets out to find a feared gangster in Nagercoil after a bigwig goes missing, but discovers that things may not be as they seem.
South Indian film industries have no shortage of movies that depict the rivalry between a daring cop and a feared gangster.
However, what truly makes a film stand out in this genre are the events and incidents that unfold, bringing the audience closer to the characters' world.
Pathu Thala, the official Tamil remake of the hit Kannada film Mufti, has some memorable moments.
The story follows Shakthivel (Gautham Karthik), an undercover cop, as he investigates the disappearance of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (Santhosh Pratap).
He believes that a feared gangster, AGR (Silambarasan TR), is responsible.
As Shakthivel works to gain AGR's trust, he uncovers shocking revelations that shake his resolve.
Similar to the original film, STR appears predominantly in the second half of Pathu Thala.
