Navin Kumar

Kadaisi Thotta (2025) chucks you into the gritty underbelly of a city that’s honestly seen better days. Navin Kumar steps up as Arjun, this ex-cop who’s got more baggage than the lost and found at a train station. He’s not your poster boy hero—dude’s rough around the edges, haunted by some serious skeletons in the closet, and pretty much keeps everyone at arm’s length. The story takes off when Arjun gets yanked back into the chaos after a string of bizarre crimes starts popping up around his old neighborhood. This isn’t your cookie-cutter whodunit, either. The plot weaves through dark alleys, neon-lit bars, and backroom deals that’ll have you questioning everyone on screen. Arjun’s got to deal with corrupt officials who’d sell their own grandmothers for a quick buck, plus some old friends who might not be so friendly anymore. There’s this underlying tension, like everyone’s waiting for the next shoe to drop, and the city itself feels like it’s holding its breath. What really hits is the way Arjun wrestles with his own demons while trying to make sense of the madness unraveling around him. Flashbacks sneak in, giving you bits and pieces of what broke him, but nothing’s handed to you on a silver platter. The film doesn’t shy away from showing how messy justice can get, and you’ll probably end up rooting for Arjun—even when he’s making decisions that’ll make you yell at your screen. It’s raw, intense, and doesn’t let up until the credits roll.
