Samar

Shakthi, a trekking guide, goes to Bangkok after he receives a patch-up invitation from his lover Roopa, who had broken up with him. En route, he strikes up a friendship Maya. When Roopa doesn’t arrive for the rendezvous, Shakthi decides to return to India but gets embroiled in a mystery where he is taken for a millionaire businessman. Pretty soon, even Shakthi starts doubting his own identity. Can he get out of this conundrum?

Directed by Thiru, Samar leans on a strong ensemble — Vishal Krishna, Trisha Krishnan, Sunaina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2013.
