The narrative follows undercover policeman Shakthivel (Gautham Karthik) as he looks into the disappearance of tamil Nadu's chief minister. (Santhosh Pratap). He suspects notorious criminal AGR (Silambarasan TR) of being accountable. Shakthivel struggles to collect evidence against AGR due to his dominance in the sand mining industry. Shakthivel discovers shocking revelations that make him question his resolve as he attempts to win AGR's confidence.
Similar to the original movie, Pathu Thala's second part is where STR is primarily seen. The plot, however, starts to tighten up and get more interesting at this point. The opening scenes in which Shakthivel discovers AGR's influence and strength fall short and fail to make an impression on the viewer. However, the post-intermission scenes—in which STR gives a standout performance—are where the heart of the movie resides.
Even though the cliché of a gangster acting as a good guy for his neighbors while being a criminal in the eyes of the law isn't novel, the staging and drama in the movie's second half make it more interesting. As is characteristic of gangster movies, Pathu Thala includes betrayal and graphic violence, but it is unable to make an impression or forge a strong bond between the audience and the main characters.
The movie is a reasonably entertaining gangster movie that will mostly please STR fans despite its flaws. The dramatic fight scene is enhanced by impactful background music by AR rahman that connects with the audience and heightens the impact of the scene. The movie, however, could have done without a song in the second part that features simbu because it doesn't significantly advance the plot.
