Now, with the credits out of the way, we can dissect the movie and see if the film lives up to the hype.
Positives:
Vishal’s Performance: As the protagonist, most critics concur that Vishal gives a compelling performance. He does a good job in the action scenes and gives a credible portrayal of the character’s emotional moments.
Action Scenes: One of Hari’s signature filmmaking techniques, the film has several expertly orchestrated action sequences. Some commentators even commend the inventiveness of certain fight scenes.
Negatives:
Cliché Story: The primary grievance directed towards the movie is its uninspired plot. The plot is deemed predictable and emotionally shallow by reviewers.
Poor Supporting Characters: Despite Vishal’s outstanding performance, the female protagonist and the antagonists are thought to be one-dimensional and undeveloped.
Outdated Tropes: As critics have noted, the movie makes extensive use of clichés that are prevalent in earlier action movies. The movie’s attempts to update these clichés are viewed as flimsy.
Overall Impression Of Vishal’s Rathnam:
The film caters to those who enjoy intense action sequences and Vishal’s on-screen persona. But fans looking for a more captivating story could be disappointed by its formulaic plot and dearth of original ideas.
Verdict:
In case you’re seeking for a thoughtless action movie with a well-known hero, “Rathnam” could be worth seeing. However, those hoping for a well-developed narrative or creative action scenes may find this film to be lacking in these areas.
