The people they face in their lives and the environment they are brought up makes them literally a social animal and they become partners in crime. Aathi (Yuvan) leaves home and comes to Chennai seeking a career. He meets Gayathri (Madhu Sharma), a girl from a well-to-do family who wants to live life independently and do what she wants to do and not be questioned by her parents. Aathi’s innocence and good heartedness impresses Gayathri and she falls in love with him. They both get married but during their wedding night, she finds Aathi incapable of satisfying her sexual needs. The next day, she leaves him at a bus stop and asks him to part with her. Aathi pleads and tries to make her understand his love for her but she refuses to accept him into her life again. Aathi decides to leave his native and on the way he meets ‘Kadhal’ Thandapani. From then, his life takes a turn and the sequences that happen after that makes him a criminal.
Aathi finds Seenu (Bala) and Pazhani (Seshanth) shortly. All three of them finding it difficult to settle in a career decide to make their living by stealing. They become petty thieves. Their greed for money and lifestyle keeps growing and makes them plan for a bank robbery. They seek the help of two other school friends namely Shankar (Sabhi) and Hari (Nithish Kumar) who already are on the wanted list of the cops. The plan is executed and they escape from the bank with the money. When the cops are on their trail, they decide to take the money with them and leave the city. The money is given to Pazhani and he is asked to leave to Pondichery. They part ways mutually agreeing to meet together and share the loot among themselves in a couple of days. But things go haywire when one of them decides to have the money for himself.

Pazhani is killed on the way and the money is stolen. The rest of the story is all about who gets hold of the money and what happens to the others at last. Who was the ‘rat’? For the answer, you’ll have to check out the movie on the silver screen!

Final Verdict

Green Apple Picture’s Sinthanai Sei is entertaining and also belongs to the genre of Ram Gopal Varma’s movies like Sathya, Company and Shiva. Even though the movie has taken inspirations from Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Sriram Raghavan’s Johnny Gaddaar and various other crime thrillers, it deserves to be appreciated. Producers Amma Rajashekhar and Gilli Sekhar have made a commendable effort in bringing back the crime thriller to Tamil cinema. So, check out Sinthanai Sei this weekend!

Movie Rating 3.5/5
