The pattern is a two-way sword. If you understand it well, you can come out of it consciously. If you don't, you are locked inside the bubble. When a pattern takes control of our consciousness, we will be delivering the same subject/characters/plot again and again.
Run - The chocolate boy protagonist from a small town Srirangam rises against the odds to become an angry young man.
Sandaikozhi - A boy next door like a college student keeps himself against all problems but had to rise against the bar to prove his bravery against the villain.
Paiya - A procrastinating lazy young man is against a big goon in Mumbai. How a normal guy rises against a villain.
Vettai - A fearful lame person accidentally becomes a police officer. How the fearful person became fearless against the villain.
Anjaan - A physically challenged calm young man is in search of his brother. How that calm man became furious against the villain?
Warrior - A do-good doctor is an aversion towards goons. How he became from a do-gooder to a furious cop to rise against the villain is the story.
The base knot of all his stories (except Anandam) shows the Protagonist as a normal guy who suddenly rises against the villain in different story situations. For a while, a pattern will help the director in the name of Directorial Touch but in due course, it will create a monotonous mindset among the audience. This is why veteran directors and writers make different types of genres in between their successful patterns.
