“Rathnam” (2024) is a Tamil-language action drama directed by Hari, starring Vishal in the lead role. The film follows Rathnam, a loyal henchman working under a powerful political leader. His life takes a turn when he is tasked with protecting Mallika, a young woman whose past is mysteriously linked to his own. As Rathnam delves deeper into her troubles, he uncovers hidden truths that force him to confront his past while battling dangerous enemies determined to eliminate them both.

The movie is packed with high-energy action sequences, intense emotions, and fast-paced storytelling, staying true to Hari’s signature filmmaking style. While Vishal’s performance and the action choreography received praise, the film also faced criticism for its predictable storyline and reliance on familiar tropes. With a mix of commercial elements, including dramatic twists and high-stakes confrontations, “Rathnam” delivers a gripping yet conventional action-packed experience for fans of mass entertainers.
