According to sources, the film was released on March 29th in the United States and had a great response from moviegoers. The first screening of the film will take place in Tamilnadu at 8:00 a.m. The first half of the film, according to the Twitter reviews, develops a significant build-up with Silambarasan's stunning arrival in the pre-interval part. This is a sand mafia-themed film, in which Simbu plays AGR. [Silambarasan](/topic/silambarasan)'s ' [Pathu Thala](/topic/pathu-thala)' released today on March 30, following the success of 'Maanaadu' and ‘ [Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu](/topic/vendhu-thanindhathu-kaadu)’. Silambarasan fully surprises viewers with his portrayal as a mobster AGR, and the mass actor delivers a goosebumps-inducing performance. [Simbu](/topic/simbu), has received a lot of positive feedback on Twitter. AR Rahman's background music enhances the film significantly, and Gautham Karthik appears to have chosen his character to capture the attention of viewers. Pathu Thala is a Tamil remake of the Kannada film 'Mufti,' with Silambarasan portraying the original's role of Shiva Rajkumar. Filmmaker Krishna has packed the film with unexpected twists, and his adaptation for the Tamil remake has proven to be a success.

The imagery, even during a highly amped interval introduction scene should have ideally been a lot more explosive given the hours of hyping the film has been doing for its hero. This of course is the troubled relationship between Ravana and Shurpanaka and it does a great job by also including Ravana’s murder of her husband as the most important conflict driving Pathu Thala. The philosophy of its protagonist AGR also seems to be the philosophy that drives the screenplay. Apart from how perfectly this suits the real-life image of its equally misunderstood star Silambarasan, this bad-to-good flow is just as ideal for the way the film plays with the Ramayana myth. It also helps that the film is narrated from the point of view of an undercover police officer named Guna (Gautham Karthik), who has to infiltrate AGR’s circle of trusted lieutenants to gather enough evidence to convict him. Said to have been inspired by the Kannada film Mufti (2017), the writing is clever in the way it convinces the audience to dislike its protagonist AGR (STR) for much of its runtime until it becomes impossible to not love him.

'Pathu Thala,' even when it tries a lot to add novelty to its Kannada original 'Mufti,' has too many issues that do no justice to Silambarasan TR and ...

It’s only a spectacularly-shot action sequence in the second half that gives any energy to this film which has an atrocious reveal that can put any technological advancement of the 21st century to shame. Leela is at loggerheads with AGR’s men, and both the crime lord and Sakthivel are aware of it. 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. Most within the party suspect Naanjilaar’s hand in the disappearance of the CM, and this only adds to his anger at AGR. And though the story still follows the undercover cop Sakthivel (Gautham Karthik), who infiltrates AGR’s gang, much of how he goes about it and the role he plays in the film, gets diluted. In a surprising turn of events, the Chief Minister gets kidnapped, and all eyes turn towards AGR, an infamous mining mafia head in Kanyakumari.

Pathu Thala movie review: Silambarasan is the only redeeming feature of the film, directed by Obeli N Krishna.

In the second half, Simbu’s presence raises the tone of the film. The actor, however, saves the film. On top of that, a new trend in Tamil cinema is to project the hero as a representative of a lower class or caste. It is about sand mafia kingpin AGR ( [Silmabarasan](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/osarattum-pathu-thala-song-out-ar-rahman-delivers-another-hit-for-silambarasan-8522151/)), who is suspected of killing the chief minister of the state. In the first half of the film, director N Krishna only teases us with glimpses of AGR, and he finally makes his entry onscreen in the interval (something we saw in Vikram). [Jayam Ravi](https://indianexpress.com/about/jayam-ravi/) was seen in a gangster film called [Agilan](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/agilan-movie-review-a-yet-another-formulaic-film-with-a-pseudo-anti-hero-8489254/), about a hitman who would do anything for money.
