Pantham (2018) is a Telugu-language action film featuring Gopichand as Vikranth, a vigilante targeting corrupt politicians to aid the underprivileged. Employing ingenious heists, he systematically robs illicit funds from influential figures, notably Home Minister Nayak Bhai, portrayed by Sampath Raj. The narrative delves into Vikranth’s motivations, revealing his transformation from a wealthy NRI businessman to a modern-day Robin Hood, driven by personal tragedies and a commitment to social justice.
Directed by K. Chakravarthy Reddy, the film intertwines high-octane action sequences with a social message, highlighting systemic corruption and the plight of common people. While the plot treads familiar ground, Gopichand’s performance and the climactic courtroom drama provide engaging moments. Mehreen Pirzada plays the female lead, though her role primarily supports the protagonist’s journey. “Pantham” aims to entertain mass audiences with its blend of action and moral undertones.
