Set against the evocative shores of Thoothukudi, Vangala Viriguda revolves around Guhan Chakravarthy, a respected businessman whose public success contrasts sharply with his deeply troubled personal life. One fateful night on the beach, weighed down by emotional loneliness, Guhan encounters a shocking sight—his former lover attempting to end her life. He rescues her, only to discover that her married life mirrors his own pain and disappointment. What begins as an act of compassion soon takes a dramatic turn when Guhan commits a murder in the belief that it will restore a broken life, choosing to live alongside his former love.
The narrative intensifies when Guhan, believed to have been killed by a powerful antagonist, mysteriously calls his girlfriend and threatens her. The confusion deepens as the supposedly dead man continues to communicate, triggering a series of unsettling incidents that terrify his isolated lover. Who is behind these chilling phone calls? Is it Guhan himself, or an unseen force playing a dangerous game? The search for answers drives the suspense-filled remainder of the film.
Guhan Chakravarthy, who also directs the film, delivers a striking screen presence, blending shades of Rajinikanth’s mass appeal with the upright intensity of “White” Vijayakanth. His character embodies multiple facets of Tamil cinema’s heroic tradition—fearless in confronting injustice, deeply devoted to his wife, compassionate toward his ex-girlfriend, respectful to all, and generous to the underprivileged.
Both female leads are written with care, functioning not merely as romantic interests but as pivotal emotional anchors who meaningfully influence the story. Performances by Ponnambalam, Vaiyapuri, and Vasu Vikram add familiar strength and credibility, while the ensemble cast fills the film’s world with energy.
The songs pay tribute to Dravidian leaders and iconic Tamil cinema heroes, reinforcing the film’s ideological and cultural roots. The background score complements the unfolding drama effectively, while the cinematography captures the coastal mood with simplicity.
Remarkably, Guhan Chakravarthy shoulders responsibility across 21 departments, showcasing immense dedication. Seamlessly blending mass action, family drama, and suspense thriller elements, Vangala Viriguda unfolds with constant twists, roaring with intensity like the restless waves of the sea.
