Pandhayam (transl. Bet ) is a 2008 Indian Tamil -language action thriller film directed by S. A. Chandrasekhar , starring Nithin Sathya and Sindhu Tolani while Prakash Raj and Radhika play supporting roles. Vijay did a guest role as himself. The music was composed by Vijay Antony with cinematography by Srinivas Devamsam and editing by J. N. Harsha. The film released on 19 September 2008.[1]
Masanam (Prakash Raj ), a local thug and criminal who kills people, slowly rises up the ranks to be a minister. Shakthivel (Nithin Sathya ) is a die-hard fan of an actor Vijay and studies in college. He falls in love with Masanam's sister Thulasi (Sindhu Tolani ) and challenges him (he has a reason for that), and a cat-and-mouse game ensues. What follows is a series of incidents between the two that leads to a melodramatic climax.

Critical reception [ edit ]
Behindwoods wrote, "There is no singular theme or accent in Pandhayam and the film abounds in illogical narrations."[4] Rediff wrote "Watch Pandhayam if you've challenged your friends about sitting through a ridiculous movie. Even then, you might end up losing."[5] IANS wrote, "The movie looks like one that suffered a double Rip Van Winkle slumber since the 70s sans the vintage quality of that era".[6] The Hindu wrote "Looks like the experienced director is losing grip! Helming a film whose theme toes the beaten track of revenge, writer-director S.A. Chandrasekaran makes a hotchpotch of it. Every creator has a saturation point. SAC is no exception as this V.V. Creations’ product shows".[7]
