Rathnam

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.

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The screenplay feels outdated, and the dialogue frequently induces cringes.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

Not worth to watch on theatre, could have waited for OTT release.

Fully action as per what the directors previous themes.

Komali villain powder use pannikittu irekkan appo².

Herions mum, over reaction.

Overall is 5/10.

Songs all mokke. Not nice. Doesn't fit to the tempo of the scene.

Vishal needs another type of hair stylist. Always same style for every movie.

Positive: Camera shots, continuous shots were something new and nice to be exactly at the back of the car chase. Vishal as usual led this movie.

Got Abit of twist here and there. But at the end they covered all the plot holes which were opened throughout the movie.

Rathnam, a 2024 Indian action film, tells the story of a man who is forced to confront his past and seek justice for the wrongs committed against him. The film explores themes of revenge, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.

The film features a strong ensemble cast, with Vishal delivering a powerful performance in the lead role. His portrayal of a man seeking justice for his family is both compelling and emotionally resonant. The supporting cast, including Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and Samuthirakani, provides strong support, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

Rathnam is a typical mass-masala action film that delivers on its promise of entertainment. While it may not be groundbreaking in terms of its narrative or execution, it offers a satisfying cinematic experience for fans of the genre.

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.
