Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru has opened to positive reviews and the movie has been appreciated for its well-written story. Although the performance of the actors has come under the scanner, the thrilling elements and narration have won the hearts of the audience.

The movie is written and directed by debutant Karthick Naren. The movie has Rahman, Prakash Raghavan, Yaashika Anand and others in the cast. It has Jakes Bejoy's music, Sujith Sarang's cinematography and Sreejith Sarang's editing.

The movie revolves around a mysterious death, which is investigated by cop Deepak (Rahman). The story takes us into the flashback where the cop narrates the unsolved case to an aspiring IPS officer.

Deepak says that he investigated the case of a young lady, who committed suicide. As he starts investigating the case, he discovers a strong link to it with a woman missing from his flat. But he fails to nab anyone. The unanswered questions are the best part of the story.
