Rathtam (Blood) starts on a slow note but soon gains intensity as we are introduced to a plot that revolves around new patterns and trends in crime.

Raththam works because it is an entertainer and thriller. It also gives insight into information we inadvertently and voluntarily disclose being used against you.

To his credit, director CS Amudhan comes up with a brilliant concept for a plot. The only disappointment is the scope for entertainment isn’t completely exploited.

Towards the climax, one gets the feeling of the story being narrated in a tearing hurry. In fact, there are some questions that remain unanswered even after the climax.

Mahima Nambiar, who plays the mother of a dyslexic child, stuns you with a commanding performance. She has accepted the role and delivered fully on it.

Entertainment

Vijay Antony, in his measured manner, scores yet again. He by and large delivers an ideal performance that works big time.

Entertainment

Nandita Swetha, makes a resounding comeback with her impactful role in Raththam. Confident and determined, Nandita plays the role of an acting editor to perfection.

Entertainment

In short, Raththam might not be perfect on all counts but it certainly is a good investigative thriller.
