ReviewSimbu plays a don with a golden heart who faces down revenge, treachery, and undercover cops with no help from the screenplay.TralierScreengrab/CourtesySonyMusicSouthLet me start this review with a scene from Pathu Thala, to acquaint you with the unrestrained absurdities of the plot. Simbu, playing Agr, a don, has the following conversation with his estranged sister at some point in the movie: “You’ve been angry with me all this while for killing off your husband. But did you ever ask your Annan [elder brother] why I killed him?” The sister looks stricken. No, she hadn’t thought to ask. Insert dramatic rain and a piece of even dramatic music. He proceeds to offer a paltry explanation that really doesn’t tell her much. She has no further quarrels. They are immediately happily reconciled. This conversation takes place on Agr’s birthday – one that he has refused to celebrate without his beloved sister’s greetings.
