Rathnam

The story offers little novelty, laden with clichéd and silly elements.

The screenplay feels outdated, and the dialogue frequently induces cringes.

The film also suffers from excessive violence and songs that seem shoehorned in without necessity.

The acting follows a dated Tamil template reminiscent of the early 2000s, failing to bring anything fresh to the table.

Direction sticks to the typical 'Hari' style, characterized by rapid-paced editing, which doesn't compensate for the film's other shortcomings.

It's advisable to skip this film altogether.

Not recommended to watch on OTT either.

The movie action was good but bit loud, Vishal's acting has taken a different turn and he does a. Good job, Priya takes the story together and she is doing good, the story is a good story some parts are predictable but if you are a Vishal Fan and looking for a decent enough story yes Rathnam is a good movie for you. Yogi babu's comedy takes some parts attractive for the audience, Gautham Menon Sir's entry and the short part he is doing is always best. Music is good the songs are good. Samuthirakani does a decent job with his character as well, seen him in this kind of a character after a long time.

Film is starting with usual way of story telling of Dir. Hari & Vishal. As expected it runs with same story line of typical vishal movie. Added few twists to show the story is different, but little engaging. Vishal is not improves, Heroine has some weights in her role, played well by PBS. Supporting role by Samuthrakani & the Villains roles are acceptable. No others scored well. All cinema one and only comedian Yogi Babu failed to deliver any notes, but Mottai Rajan collects few points. DSP music seems mixture of his own musics with few melodies from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. One song is in the latter part seems like a song. Stunts are visually engaging but same old stuffs.

Summary : One time watchable, if you are a fan of Hari / Vishal, That also in OTT.

Hari is one of those filmmakers who thinks that loud noises and endless fight scenes somehow make for an engaging movie. It's the same formula here honestly, with Vishal slashing his way through a nonsensical plot that's ultimately as boring as it is dumb. There's literally nothing that works here - a piss poor story, bad acting, annoying comedy, trash music and even the action just feels clumsy and loud. I also very specifically have to point out just how utterly embarrassing the villains were - whether it be their back stories or even just their characterization - it all reeks of laziness and incompetence. There's very little here to appreciate and even less to enjoy. Skip this, and skip any movie Hari makes in the future.

Once again another good decent action/story pack film directed by Hari with his third collaboration with actor Vishal.

When you watch any Hari Tamil languages movies you need to be aware of how much violence will be in his films but he always has very good story that goes with he fight scenes.

Vishal does a good job to carry this film and he acts as Rathnam who is a bad but good guy and finds his way to protect someone.

If your looking for a good action pack fight scenes then watch this film. If your looking for a good, ok story this is your film. If you are a Vishal fan then please watch this film.

I would give this film 7/10 stars or 4,5/5 stars.
