Summary - After his 2016 political thriller Kodi with twofold Dhanush, as brothers, this time filmmaker Durai Senthil Kumar is back with double Dhanush again in Pattas, however, as father and son.

Story - As a plot, Pattas is a standard vengeance drama of a son's requital for his father, and as an extraordinary part, the creator has just taught the idea of Adimurai fighting techniques into the screenplay. The film opens in 2001 with Kanyakumari (Sneha) condemned 16 years of detainment for killing a foreigner avenging the demise of her son. A long-time later, there is Sakthi (Dhanush), an insignificant thief who comes to realize that he is none other than the child of Kanyakumari and his dad (again played by Dhanush), who was a specialist in martial arts, who was fiercely double-crossed and killed. It's dependent upon the son to bring back the lost brilliance of his dad and the shrouded acclaim of martial arts, which is an essential piece of Tamil culture.

Script Analysis - While we realized it directly from the trailer, Pattas is a vengeance story with some combative techniques back up. We were clearly anticipating a few curves in the story. As for the class, the makers keep up their attention just on the clichéd characters, they have played with a couple of cases in their lives. However, the qualities continue as before. The content has provisos, and they are obviously unmistakable particularly in the second half. I genuinely feel, there could have been a more profound analysis of the lead characters, and that could have given a more grounded content. The story is enthusiastic and loaded up with baselessness yet, it is presently on the crowds to look past its imperfections.

Star Performances - Dhanush, who assumes a double role in this film, shows the right contrast between both the characters, as far as in mannerism, yet in addition, the manner in which he talks and acts. Sneha, as Kanyakumari, portrayed truly well and sticks out. She battles with similar valor as the men in the film and furthermore steals the cup from Dhanush. Nasser and Munishkanth make the most of their involvement in some great acting. Sathish ends up being a decent worth expansion with his well comic timings. Mehreen Pirzada is only an inclusion, as her portions need vitality.

Direction, Cinematography & Music - Durai Senthilkumar has executed a decent topic, however, neglects to coordinate it appropriately. It's totally exhausting from the earliest starting point as we can without much of a stretch foresee the storyline. Aside from one scene, where Sneha remains outside the boxing ring and requests that her child turn out saying the game is over is monstrous and totally unforeseen. If there were not many scenes of this sort, it would have been fantastic. Om Prakash's cinematography is obvious and Vivek-Mervin's music is excessively normal.

Overall - Pattas is a cliché revenge drama with a martial art back up. It's a huge disappointment as a commercial potboiler. The Pongal season may help Pattas to score huge numbers, but the film is a total washout.
