Story
After twelve years of marriage, Kayal (Trisha) decides to part ways with her husband, Arjun (Ajith). Respecting her choice, Arjun agrees to drive her back to her hometown, Tbilisi. During their journey, his car unexpectedly breaks down, forcing him to seek help from Rakshith (Arjun) and Deepika (Regina Cassandra), who assist by dropping Kayal at a nearby restaurant bar.
Once the car is fixed, Arjun returns to pick her up—only to discover that Kayal has mysteriously disappeared. Frantic and heartbroken, he questions everyone around, but no one seems to know anything. His search eventually leads him back to Rakshith, where a shocking revelation awaits—Rakshith himself is behind the abduction.
Dragged into a perilous chase filled with twists and deceit, Arjun is forced to follow Rakshith’s dangerous instructions in a desperate bid to rescue his wife. But as secrets begin to unravel, new questions arise—Who are these people really? What’s their motive? Why did Kayal want a divorce in the first place?

Final Review
Overall, Pattudala (Vidaamuyarchi) turns out to be a fairly average action thriller that banks almost entirely on Ajith’s screen presence. While the film offers a few well-choreographed action scenes and some stylish moments, the predictable storyline, uneven pacing, and dull performances make it less engaging than expected. The screenplay fails to maintain tension or emotional depth, resulting in a narrative that feels repetitive and uninspired.
Ajith’s charisma and star power manage to keep the film afloat to an extent, but beyond that, there’s little to hold the viewer’s attention. Fans of Ajith may find it a one-time watch for his style and action, but for the general audience, Pattudala struggles to leave a lasting impression.
