Rathnam

Usual shi_t and fights... nothing new 😑 disappointed.

Second half i slept because the story was not so interesting and some places are too predictable so not so interesting movie wasted my money on day one show hope i see some good movies from vishal like the old detective style thriller and realistic fights these fights are too fake to believe cuz people are flying around like old movies so change the style so people will be there to atleast enjoy the fight sequence overall the movie is one time watch to see vishal performance otherwise waste of money and time and the promotion of the movie was not that good the trailer also gives the same vibe as people are flying in fights.

It is Hari's typical template movie with some idiotic and boring scenes. Each film he makes worsens after his film Poojai (a decent film still a good timepass movie).

This movie is about Rathnam, a henchman who works for a politician and helps a girl who resembles his mother. But later on became his own revenge story.

The action & stunt sequences for a human protagonist are overwhelming compared to regular Kollywood action films. And I can't root for Rathnam as he fights each time in the movie. The songs were poorly made and the BGM too, I can't even remember what they were like after a few minutes of finishing the movie.

The movie starts with Rathnam trying to save Malliga's life from the Villains who threaten to sell her property to them and suddenly it becomes Rathnam's revenge for his mom with the same Villains. This story shift from one plot line to another plot is unnecessary. It just felt like It was done to stretch the film length.

The romance between Rathnam and Malliga was flat. Malliga falls in love with Rathnam after he saves her once and she comes to know the true intentions of his violent actions. There is confusion in Rathnam's characterization about whether he is just emotionally attached to her because she resembles his mother or he loves her for real.

The comedy scenes are poor as they feel like nothing. Just Yogi Babu's typical characterization is where he travels with the protagonist, and body shaming, and teasing everyone.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this movie even if they like action movies with no logic and poor story.

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.

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.

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.
