Muthu Kumar

Ace (2025) drops you right into the life of Muthu Kumar, a guy who, honestly, couldn’t catch a break if his life depended on it. He’s hustling his way through the chaos of Chennai, juggling odd jobs and family drama, and just when you think it can’t get any messier, he stumbles into the world of underground poker. Not the glitzy, Vegas-style stuff—nah, these are back-alley games where people play for keeps, and trust? Kinda non-existent. Muthu’s not some poker prodigy, either. He’s just got this stubborn streak and a knack for reading people that keeps him hanging on, hand after hand. Of course, the deeper he gets, the more the stakes spiral. Suddenly, he’s not just playing for rent money anymore. We’re talking serious cash, shady characters, and enough tension to make your stomach churn. There’s a cop breathing down his neck, an old friend who’s maybe not so friendly, and a love story simmering in the background that’s as complicated as the game itself. The whole city becomes this pressure cooker for Muthu—lights buzzing, rain pounding, secrets swirling around him like smoke. It’s gritty, unpredictable, and just a little bit wild. Every decision he makes drags him further from the life he thought he wanted. And honestly, you kinda start rooting for the guy, even when he’s making terrible choices. Ace isn’t just about poker—it’s about survival, luck, and figuring out who you really are when the cards are down.
