A captivating thriller that reveals the depths of vengeance

THANAL starts slow and gradually tightens its grip, pulling viewers into a dark, twist-laden narrative that peaks in its second half.

What initially appears to be a straightforward investigation into a multibank heist soon reveals itself to be a layered tale of vengeance, with the lead character Akhilan navigating murky back roads - literal and emotional - as he uncovers the true motives behind the chaos.

The story follows Akhilan (Atharvaa), a newly-recruited police officer awaiting his formal posting.

Alongside five fellow recruits, he stumbles into an area while pursuing a suspicious individual and is reeled into a dark world of vengeance where they are hunted down by Vineeth (Ashwin Kakumanu), a man with a deeply personal vendetta against the police force.
