Tamil star Vishal is back on the silver screens with his much-awaited film Rathnam. It recently arrived in the theaters in Tamil and Telugu and has been attracting audiences to theatres. Soon after the film’s release, X (formerly Twitter) saw netizens flooding the platform with reviews. The audience has seemingly mixed reactions to the film.
Directed by Hari, Rathnam features Priya Bhavani as the female protagonist. It marks the 34th project of Vishal’s career and the anticipation surrounding the movie has been remarkable. In addition to the lead actors, the cast features Ramchandra Raju, Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Yogi Babu, Samuthirakani, and more in supporting roles.
Fans share thoughts on Vishal’s Rathnam
Rathnam has been receiving below-average reviews from critics. Many have mentioned problems with the movie’s plot. However, netizens have given mixed reactions. Although some agreed with the critics, others found the Vishal-starrer entertaining.
An X user talked about Hari’s comeback as director. The user wrote, “Good First Half, Yogi Babu Is Irritating, Vishal Masssss, Semmma BGM, Hari Comeback.” Another user wrote, “Surely a pretty decent 1st half. Hari mamas emotion. Hoping for a good 2nd half too…”
A third one penned a rather detailed review, stating, “Hari’s usual story line with his full package. Action Blocks, Interval, Few emotional scenes worked well. Vishal & PriyaBavani both had equal scope and done well. Initial few mins & some lags in second half are the drawbacks. Montage songs of DSP & BGM throughout the first half was good. Had few hangover of his Poojai film. Overall A Pakka commercial movie from Hari, which would work more for his Fans & Families.”
However, some viewers did not enjoy the film at all. A user wrote, “Whole #Rathnam movie! In bad films of Hari list #Rathnam holds the Second place, First place is always for #SaamySquare.”
In conclusion, the film’s actual performance will be examined as per the box office report. Therefore, the official numbers are awaited.
