SATHIRA P @SATHIRA May 31, 2024 BEST MOVIE I EVER SEEN See more Birithivy Y @RT05686996 May 28, 2024 Rathnam - 5/10. At one point in time, it was almost like a guarantee and cheat code for producers to give a budget and opportunity to director Hari to deliver them a quick hit. His reign on the mid tier budget film was from the mid 00's to the mid 10's, where his middle budget, star filled films would be made on a small and decent budget and end up being a big hit because it was cheap to make. Rathnam is probably a script and film that Hari would've made in that time frame and had success. But this is present day, and Rathnam, though made with some sort of good intention, ends up being a slightly below average film. There's some tricks and turns that Hari tries here to make the film a little bit different from your run of the mill masala film (especially the love track, which surprisingly is different). And for the first half, he successfully does an okay job at trying to recapture that energy he had of that era. And then, the second half happens. Its okay to make super violent or brash films, but Hari always seemed to know the balancing act of having those elements with good comedy and the typical "family sentiments" you would see in tamil cinema. Here, the comedy is just whatever, the family sentiments are just melodramatic, and the songs are just okay. To be honest, had this movie been made during peak Hari time, maybe, just maybe, this could've been better! See more Read all reviews
