Pattam

Storyline

A close knit college group is shaken when incidents involving female students surface. Their playful campus life gives way to suspicion and fear as they realize something far more sinister is unfolding. Driven by a sense of injustice, they dig deeper ignoring risks and social barriers. The closer they get to the truth, the more powerful the resistance. In the end, it becomes a fight not just for the missing, but for their own integrity.
