Tamil movie "Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru" was released in Tamil Nadu and across India on Thursday, December 29, 2016.
A real gem of a film which has raised the benchmark of murder mysteries in Kollywood; this is how we can define the film in a single sentence.
This film directed by a 21-year-old Karthik Kumar has turned out to be a stout thriller, which will make the audiences sit on the edge of the seats until the end. This nail-biting flick has none other than Mollywood star Rahman in the lead role, and he has played the role of a retired Police officer.
A dedicated cop vs a dreaded serial killer
The movie revolves around the story of a retired cop named Deepak who was very sincere and dedicated during his professional career.
One day, he meets a young man who wishes to become an IPS officer. Understanding his passion towards serving the country, Deepak starts narrating the most complicated case which he has handled in his career.
