Chennai Files Mudhal Pakkam Movie Review:

Directed by Anish Ashraf, “Mudhal Pakkam” blends mystery with emotional drama, delivering a story that revolves around family, justice, and clever thinking. With strong performances and an intriguing narrative, the film keeps the audience engaged till the end.

The story follows Vetri, a young man from Madurai, whose father is a passionate writer. To publish his late father's story, Vetri visits a reporter’s office, where he connects with a cop. What begins as a personal journey soon turns into something much larger, as Vetri finds himself at the center of a serious criminal investigation.

Thambi Ramaiah plays a senior police officer who is investigating a series of ongoing murders. His role brings both seriousness and a human touch to the film. The case takes a shocking turn when his own daughter attempts suicide, adding a deeply emotional layer to the storyline. The film slowly reveals the connection between her actions and the larger case, keeping viewers hooked with each twist.

Vetri’s character grows stronger as he begins to uncover the hidden truths using his intelligence and presence of mind. The screenplay allows the audience to travel with him on this suspenseful ride. The emotional tension between characters, especially the father-daughter bond, is well-written and effectively portrayed. Director Anish Ashraf handles both the investigative and emotional aspects with balance, creating a solid narrative flow throughout the film.

The performances are commendable. Vetri delivers a sincere and believable performance. Thambi Ramaiah, with his experience, brings depth and emotion to the role of a concerned father and dutiful cop. Shilpa Manjunath also plays a key role and adds emotional weight to the film. Redin Kingsley brings brief moments of lightness, while Magesh Das supports well in the background. The direction and writing by Anish Ashraf, with contributions from Thambi Ramaiah, are crisp and purposeful. The film’s technical side, including background score and cinematography, supports the story effectively without overpowering it.

Verdict: “Mudhal Pakkam” is a decent investigative drama with emotional depth and sharp twists. It's a good one-time watch for those who enjoy suspense and family-based storytelling.
