**StoryLine:**
When M. Padmakumar’s *Joseph* was released in 2018, it became a pleasant surprise and a sleeper hit, significantly boosting actor Joju George’s career. With *Pathaam Valavu*, Padmakumar attempts to return to the crime drama genre after the failure of *Mamangam* (though Padmakumar cannot be solely blamed for this, as he joined the project late after the original director, Sajeev Pillai, was replaced). However, *Pathaam Valavu* falls short when compared to *Joseph*.
The film begins with Sub-Inspector Sethu (Indrajith) and his team searching for a jail inmate named Solomon (Suraj Venjaramoodu), who has escaped during his parole. Sethu and his team eventually capture Solomon. On their way back, they encounter a roadblock at the tenth turn (which gives the film its name), where they stop at a tea shop. During this break, Sethu learns more about Solomon’s past and the events that led to his imprisonment.
The main issue with *Pathaam Valavu* lies in Abhilash Pillai’s script, which presents a series of scenes and situations that feel overly familiar. Within the first 15 minutes, it becomes clear where the story is headed and how it will conclude. Abhilash had shown better form in his previous work, *Night Drive*, even though that film lost momentum in its final act. In *Pathaam Valavu*, however, he seems to have recycled elements from several other films with similar themes.
The film includes a police officer who is so engrossed in his case that he cannot be with his pregnant wife during her delivery. There’s also a heroine (Aditi Ravi) who elopes with the hero, cutting ties with her family. Her sister’s wedding years later becomes a point of conflict as the heroine wishes to attend. Additionally, a priest (Sudheer Karamana) is introduced to guide the hero through tough times. The first half of the film disappoints with its repetitive clichés and lack of significant narrative development.
The second half improves slightly, primarily due to the presence of Varadhan (Ajmal Ameer) in the flashback sequences. Despite this, *Pathaam Valavu* struggles to match the impact of Padmakumar’s earlier work.
