'Laththi' movie review: Interesting ideas get lathi-charged in this actioner

A still from the film ‘Laththi’ starring Vishal. (Photo | YouTube screengrab)

Debutant Vinoth Kumar’s Laththi has a hero-elevation line said by a bad guy that goes: "Avan namba kita maatala da, namba dhaan avan kita maati irukom!” We have heard this a thousand times already, but here, the dialogue isn't so out of place because the story is of Muruganandham (Vishal), a lone policeman who takes on an army of goons.

While Kaththi’s Kathiresan used the help of a friend and a few coins to face 50 men, Muruganandham takes the game a level higher by increasing the body count to over 100, all alone. What’s his weapon though? The entire building, it seems.

The protagonist hides his weapons in several locations in the building and they range from an iron baseball bat, hand grenade to a water sprinkler-controlled machine gun! Oh, there is a catch. Muruganandham’s sick son is also stuck in the same building and the hero has to ensure the latter's safety. Everything points at a fun, engaging action-thriller on paper, but the end result is quite the opposite. Ads by

The bad men in the film are a problem. While Sunny PN’s Sura is a maniac who stops his traitor from getting electrocuted only to kill him with a less painful gunshot, Ramana’s Vellai, is a whole new level of bizarre He wears a yellow polythene bag on his face for a major part of the film, as a reminder to avenge the hero. Laththi is a treasure trove for such unintentionally funny content.

During one of the initial scenes, Sura asks his allies to list the crimes committed by his son. For some strange reason, the goons start performing a clumsy mime in an attempt to recreate the crimes, without just listing them out. Many such 'innovative' ideas come across as silly humour.

Laththi relies on its lead actort o do much of the heavy-lifting. However, Vishal falls terribly short despite showing effort--especially his Moondram Pirai-esque act in the climax that only ends up highlighting his limitations as a performer. Sunainaa is probably the only actor who doesn’t give in to the over-the-top tone of the film. She delivers a sensible performance as a doting mother and wife.

Right from the title announcement, it was clear that the film would be about a laththi-happy policeman, and the protagonist tries to do justice to the title by charging at way too many people on screen. But the film doesn’t take a clear stand on police brutality. Though there are stretches where Muruganandham dreads executing custodial violence, and mouths preachy dialogues like, “Kandika dhaan na adikanum, dhandika illa!” you also learn that he has always enjoyed beating the criminals to a pulp.

The much-hyped fight sequences of this film feel heavily rushed and the exciting weapon-reveal sequence too is force-fit into a background song. Though Laththi tries hard to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller, it's not a good sign that you're laughing for most of it.

LATHTHI MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Laththi is an action drama film written and directed by Vinoth Kumar, and produced by Ramana and Nandha under the banner Rana Productions. The film has Vishal and Sunainaa in the lead roles while Ramana, Munishkanth, Prabhu, and others in supporting roles. Yuvan Shankar Raja has composed the music while Balasubramaniem and Balakrishna Thota are the cinematographers.

Muruganantham (Vishal) is a constable who leads a simple life with simple ambitions. He is termed as a Laththi specialist by his superiors, and a lockup torture results in him getting suspended for an year. Upon joining back, he gets into a tussle with Vella (Ramana), the son of a rowdy with influential political contacts. How does Muruganandham, a mere constable, save his family and defeat Vellai? That is what Laththi is all about.

Laththi starts off with clear, simple intentions. The initial sequences used to establish Muruganantham's love for his family are beautiful, and have its heart at the right place. Even though the visuals are shaky, it doesn't disturb us much. The film wants to stay grounded and it shows.

The issues for Laththi begin in the second half where the film shifts to almost a superhero mode. This means, the protagonist who, so far seemed to be an innocent man, suddenly takes heavy blows to his body, and fights against 100+ people at the same time. This tonal shift doesn't work out.

The action sequences, especially the 45-minute sequence in the construction site in the second half are well choreographed, and keep you gripped, but once the film enters into the 'superhero mode', we stop rooting for the lead and his family. The emotional connection gets lost. There are also plenty of logical loopholes that are glaring.

Vishal is rusty in a few scenes, but generally scores well with his performance. One scene to sample what a good actor he is, comes at the climax when he searches for his son. It is a scene that deserves a lot of praise for his performance. The rest of the cast are okay.

Technically, Yuvan's score works at a few places but the shaky' camera handheld shots in some fights don't help the film's cause. Overall, Laththi deserved a better written second half and better technical work. The gory violent nature of the action scenes might make family audiences uncomfortable, but if you are a fan of blood and top notch action, you can give this a one time watch.

Laththi Movie Review: Vishal’s action drama is riveting with minor flaws

Director vinoth kumar’s laththi, starring vishal, sunaina and ramana, is a compelling action drama with excellent stunt choreography. the film manages to hold your attention, for the most part, says our review..

Listen to Story

Vishal's Laththi hit the theatres on December 22.

Release Date: 22 Dec, 2022

It’s been quite a while since Vishal gave a superhit venture. After Irumbu Thirai, Vishal has had a few films that received mixed reviews, while the others left without a trace. Now, Vishal is back with Laththi, yet another cop drama, which is aimed at being different from the films of the same ilk. Did he deliver what he promised?

A brutal rape occurs and the police are in search of the criminal. The police nab the accused and police constable Muruganantham (Vishal) is asked to give him a heavy bashing to confess the truth. Later, they come to know that they falsely accused a person of rape. Muruganantham gets suspended for a year following a human rights case. One fine day, Muruganantham accidentally encounters the criminal who committed the heinous crime. It changed the course of his life and career, forever. Does Muruganantham escape from the wrath of the criminal? Will he get justice for the woman who died a tragic death? Laththi has answers to these questions.

Written and directed by Vinoth Kumar, Laththi is a film that surprises the audience to a large extent. At a time when Kollywood is dominated by films about cops in better designations in the police system, this film is about a police constable, a character that is not largely explored in Tamil cinema. Vishal, as a police constable, is convincing. He brings in the vulnerability of the job and showcases how the system does not back employees in the lower category. He is known as the laththi specialist and that’s the reason why he gets suspended. The film also glorifies police brutality to an extent. Once he gets reinstated after six months, he feels scared about touching the laththi. These are some brilliant touches which make you engrossed in the first half.

While Vishal gets a non-heroic entry, the villain gets hyped throughout the film. In the first half, the villain is masked. But, those who follow Kollywood can easily make out who the villain is even before the big reveal. Laththi then becomes a cat-and-mouse game, an interesting one at that. Vinoth Kumar did an exceptional job of keeping the suspense for the most part.

However, Lathth is not a film without flaws. When films talk about rape, the director is solely responsible for making an informed decision about showcasing the brutality on screen. In Laththi, the rapes are too graphic and distastefully done. We get the point that she was raped, but no need to watch that on repeat mode!

Similarly, some of the dialogues are too childish and ridiculous. The climax, too, is stretched beyond a point. That being said, the film relies on terrific stunt choreography and they excelled and how! Kudos to Peter Hein who meticulously designed the stunt sequences.

Laththi also does a good job of showing a balanced relationship between a husband and wife. It also gives you good parenting lessons. When Muruganantham and his wife’s (Sunaina) son, Rasu, get panic attacks, they get the right help for him. This is a welcome change, especially when we are so used to seeing annoying kids in films.

For Vishal, Laththi is a departure from the underwhelming films that he was a part of in the past few years. In the film, Vishal did his best in giving a restrained performance. Sunaina, Ramana, Prabhu, Lirish Raghav and several others aided the lead cast in terms of performance. Balasubramaniem and Balakrishna Thota’s cinematography and composer Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music helped in enhancing the film.

On the whole, Laththi is a different cop film and engaging for the most part.

Laththi Movie Review

lathi movie review rating

2 Hr 24 Mins   |   Action   |   22-12-2022

Cast - Vishal, Sunaina, Prabhu and others

Director - A Vinoth Kumar

Producer - Ramana and Nandaa

Banner - Rana Productions

Music - Yuvan Shankar Raja

Vishal’s claim to fame in Telugu was Pandem Kodi. He couldn’t recreate such magic again even with Pandem Kodi 2. But some of his previous films like Detective and Abhimanyudu had done moderately well in Telugu. And many of his recent films turned out to be disappointment. Despite all this track record, Vishal is keen on releasing his films in Telugu regularly. He is now back with a cop drama Laththi. Will Vishal make comeback? Check out.

What is it about?

An ordinary police constable Murali Krishna (Vishal) gets suspended in connection with an issue. Upon rejoining, he beats influential person (son of a don), not knowing his identity and again lands in trouble. The egoistic don and his son don’t want to leave Murali and family. Murali is forced to confront the goons and protect his family from them. However, Murali and his 10-year-old son get trapped inside an under-construction building surrounded by the villains. The two must find a way to escape with their lives.

Performances

Vishal justifies his role as an innocent constable. Vishal’s wife (Sunaina), a nurse and doting wife, is alright but only confined to the first half. She gets sidelined in this hero-centric film. Veteran actor Prabhu is seen in a small role which doesn’t have a strong connection to the story. Ramana as Veera is a proud baddie and son of Don Sura (PN Sunny). The villains are let down in Laththi as they’re not prominent faces in Telugu. Child actor Lirish Raghav is good as Vishal’s son. He is part of the crucial episodes in the film.

Technicalities

Laththi has a very thin point. It is usual cop drama between an honest cop versus dreadful villain. Director Vinoth failed to deliver an interesting story. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s songs are not appealing and they have a lot of Tamil flavour. Background music is good though. Visuals are effective. The film drags due to lack of a compelling story.

Thumbs Up Vishal Some Action Scenes

Thumbs Down Weak Conflict Over The Top Scenes Second Half

It is a cat-and-mouse game between the protagonist and antagonist. However, unlike many such films where usually the protagonist chases the antagonist, whereas Laththi is exactly the opposite. It is the antagonist who is searching for the protagonist Murali unaware of his true identity who had beaten in the station.

Director Vinoth Kumar chose a wafer-thin point and tried to weave a story around it. But it is a very old cop story that’s done to death. Basically, Laththi is around ego of the antagonist who decides to take revenge on the since constable.  The scenes were so predictable. The first half is a filler and the real story begins after the villain identifies the hero. Ironically, the clue comes from the mobile ringtone based on which the antagonist identifies Murali as the cop to take revenge on. 

The second-half is supposed to be a gripping and edge-of-the-seat thriller. Whereas the logics goes for toss when the protagonist and his son gets trapped in a building surrounded by hundreds of enemies. One and only Vishal takes on all the hundreds with some bruises on his body. This is unrealistic and filled with the over the top scenes. Laththi is marred by weak writing and too much cinematic liberties. The audiences lose the interest since they don’t connect much with what’s happening on the big screen. Lack of prominent faces as the villains is also let down in Telugu. 

This is another big fat bore commercial cinema with Tamil flavour. Even the action lovers doesn’t have moments to relish on. It is Vishal’s Laththi charge on the audiences. Better to stay away!

Verdict: Laththi Charge On Audiences

Laththi Review: Begins Well But Falters

Laththi Review: Begins Well But Falters

Movie: Laththi Rating: 2.25/5 Banner: Rana Productions Cast: Vishal, Sunaina, Prabhu, Ramana, Thalaivasal Vijay, Munishkanth, and others Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja Director of Photography: Balasubramaniam Editor: N.B.Srikanth Producers: Ramana and Nandaa Written and directed by: A Vinoth Kumar Release Date: Dec 22, 2022

Vishal has aggressively promoted "Laththi" and has expressed confidence in the film's success.

Let's see if his confidence is justified.

Story: Constable Murali Krishna (Vishal) is suspended for beating an innocent person with his baton. He was accepted six months later on the recommendation of a higher-ranking officer (Prabhu).The notorious criminal Veera (Ramana), son of don Sura, harasses the officer's daughter one day.

Officer kidnaps Veera and contacts Murali Krishna and instructs him to beat Veera.

A video of a police officer goes online. However, the video conceals the officer's identity. Sura eventually tracks down Murali Krishna, the constable who beat him, and decides to take his life. How does Murali Krishna protect his family?

Artistes’ Performances: Vishal has acted out the role of Murali Krishna with conviction. He portrays himself as a conscientious police officer and doting family man. He gets to perform the actual action sequences in the latter part of the film.

Ramana is a natural as the villain Veera. As Vishal's wife, Sunaiana has little to do.

Technical Excellence: Cinematography, production values, and action sequences all meet regular standards. The two songs are forgettable, but the background score is fine. 

Highlights: First half Vishal

Drawback: Predictable narration Climax sequences

Analysis Vishal is given room in "Laththi" to showcase his talents. Maybe this is why Vishal put so much effort into this film. The director's approach to the story is what initially keeps us interested, despite the story's lack of originality.

In the initial portions, we learn why Vishal is taken off patrol and the moral quandary he faces after being reinstated. From there, the drama progresses to the essence of the story: the villains trying to track down the hero while the hero, using his cunning, manages to trap them.

Our attention is held throughout this long sequence in which the villain is trying to track down the constable who defeated him, and in which the constable (hero) demonstrates his superior intelligence.

When our hero and antagonist finally meet, however, the paper-thin plot falls flat. The director's skill, which was on full display up until the break, is completely gone.

While it's commendable that the director and hero Vishal keep the focus on the story rather than digress into duets and item songs, the dragging sequences in the film's middle act are wearing. Furthermore, the emotional monologue that Vishal performs during the climax is difficult to swallow.

Despite the fact that the police department is aware that their constable is fighting a don, no one has shown up to back him up. This makes no sense at all.

To sum up, "Laatthi" has a promising beginning but falls short of its potential. It has a decent premise and some interesting parts in the middle, but it falls flat in the end.

Bottom line: Mixed Material

  • Krishnamma Review: Revenge Drama
  • Prathinidhi 2 Review: Illogical Plot, Weak Direction

lathi movie review rating

Laththi is nothing but a long-winded rehash of several other forgettable action movies with ridiculous fight scenes, terrible acting, and no originality. Worst of all, it's a movie that takes itself too seriously, considering how trashy and moronic it is.

Laththi Movie Review and Rating

Movie Review:  Laththi

Director:  A Vinod Kumar

Producers:  Ramana and Nanda

Music Director:  Yuvan Shankar Raja

Starring:   Vishal , Sunaina, Thalaivasal Vijay, Misha Ghoshal, Prabhu, Munishkanth and others

  Release Date :  December 22, 2022

 Rating :   2.5/5

Laththi Movie Review:  Vishal, Sunaina, Thalaivasal Vijay, Misha Ghoshal, Prabhu, Munishkanth and others starrer action thriller drama Laththi has finally hit the theaters. Let’s see the story of Laththi.

 Story:  Muruganandam (Vishal) is a very dedicated constable and laththi specialist who is loyal to his job.  He is married to Kavitha and has a child. Murunganatham and his 10 years old son unexpectedly find themselves trapped in a building under construction in the hands of a terrifying gang.  Will Muruganandham and his son escape the wrath of gangster or fall prey to them? To get this answer, one should watch the movie Laththi on silver screen.

Plus Points:

·         Vishal

·         Action sequences

·         Performance

·         Twist

 Minus Points:

·         Predictable screenplay

·         Second half

·         BGM

  Performance:    Once again Vishal impresses the viewers with his marvelous acting. He performs superb in the action sequences. When it comes to acting, Vishal is one of the best actors  of Kollywood and it has been proved in many movies.  In this film he  is known as the laththi specialist and that’s the reason why he gets suspended.  The movie Laththi also glorifies police brutality to an extent. Once he gets reinstated after a gap of 6 months, he feels scared about touching the laththi. Sunaina gets limited screen presence but does her part well in the limited time. Pillodu, who played the role of Vishal’s son, impressed everyone. Along with Prabhu, all the other actors have done their part as much as the story required. 

  Technical:   The film has routine story.  Fight scenes are extraordinary. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s music and background score doesn’t help to elevate the emotions in Laththi. Balasubramanian and Balakrishna Thotala’s cinematography are not up to the mark   The most of the scenes look too colourful. The technical aspects are decent, and stunt sequences are choreographed in a realistic way, salute to Peter Hein. Coming on the work of director  Vinoth Kumar , he does an exceptional job of keeping the suspense for the most part.  Production values are good.

 Analysis:  Laththi is  a commercial action Film with conflict between hero  and villain. The first half quite well and second half is filled with number of action scenes.   Vishal’ performance and his stunts are the major plus  points of the movie. The villain gets hyped throughout the film. In the first half, the main villain is masked. 45 minutes stunt sequence in the second half is one of the major drawbacks to the narrative.   Vishal delivers yet another stunner with his stunts.

Laththi Movie Review

Laththi Movie Review

  • Share on Facebook
  • Share on Twitter

  • Share on Telegram

Filmmaker A. Vinoth Kumar’s directorial ‘Laththi’ features Vishal in the lead role. The film is produced by Rana Productions and features a musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The story is about a police constable named Muruganantham (Vishal), who gets trapped in a building with his 10-year-old kid, and how they escape from the building surrounded by a group of the enemy forms the crux of this story.

There is a couple of common elements in most of the films of actor Vishal. One is his utmost dedication, where we can find him exerting his complete energy to give a perfect shape to his roles. And the other one is the choice of scripts, which dampens his efforts. When you’re watching him perform the action sequences in Laththi, there are situations, where we start to sympathize with his unconditional dedication. On the flip side, his arduous efforts go in vain due to the flimsy screenwriting.

Of course, film buffs would instantly spot the similarity between Laththi and the 2011 Indonesian movie ‘The Raid’, but it ends merely with the backdrop of a combat between the hero and myriad miscreants on 30 floors of an apartment block. Well, Laththi tries to take a diversion before getting to this premise, which becomes a major constraint. The sequences involving Vishal and Sunaina contribute in no way to the progression of the screenplay. The actual conflict opens up the post-intermission, and tweaking the film by 30 minutes would have been better. More than all, the screenplay is too weak. The characterization of both the villain characters looks feeble. Actor Vishal keeps repeating the same kind of stories and has to choose unique projects. He belongs to the rare breed of actors, who can shine in both popular and offbeat genres. Hope he bounces back soon and comes up with a commendable league of movies that will complement his efforts as a performer.

Yuvan Shankar Raja’s presence can be felt only in the credits, and his BGM is too average. The cinematography needs appreciation. The entire stunt department needs special mention for the best work.

On the whole, Laththi despite having a stellar performance by Vishal in action sequences fails to grab our attention due to the poor story and screenplay.

Verdict: Vishal’s excruciating efforts go in vain due to the weak screenplay.

Laatti Review – Lathi Charge On Audience

Vishal-Laththi-Laatti-Telugu-Movie-Review

OUR RATING 1.5/5

CENSOR 2h 24m, UA

Vishal-Laatti-Telugu-Movie-Review

Performances Vishal is struck in Pandemkodi that released seventeen years back. He chose same template films and continues the same acting he always does. He may have even lost the count of the roles he did in same pattern with only cosmetic changes.

The Emotional act of Vishal during the climax is an indication of how he did not improve a bit as an actor beyond that loud performances. The expressions he maintains in the scene evoke laughter and irritates the audience.

Sunaina plays the wife character. She looks good and is okay with the performance. Prabhu is seen in a cameo kind of role and is okay. Munishkanth appears in a little role and is alright in whatever he is given. The artists who played villains are totally ineffective. Particularly the one who played Sura is even silly. Bad writing of their characters make them look even bad. The other characters are mostly trivial.

Analysis A Vinoth Kumar has selected a cop story with family emotions for his Laati with Vishal. Pon Parthiban has written the story.

In a cop story, we expect heroism in the character but that is only confined to the first and last blocks of the film. The family story needs proper establishment of the characters and the bonding between them. Even though there is a premise for that to happen nothing really works due to bad writing.

There are lots of inconsistencies in the character of Murali Krishna. He is introduced as a stubborn, upright cop and later his character turns meek for the most part of the film. And suddenly towards the end, there is a bland drama in the name of twists that rather appear silly.

There are multiple threads in the story – a Rape case, father-son track, Police drama, Politics, Revenge, etc. Even though the director tries to embed multiple threads into one story. It is like all of them are routine and beaten to death. Even if they are neatly handled, the movie will still be routine and boring.

Sunaina-Laatti-Telugu-Movie-Review

Finally, Laati is forgettable attempt by Vishal. Beaten to death story, hollow characterizations, Bland writing, and inspid narration makes the movie a bad experience for the audience. High time Vishal reinvents himself and come out with something interesting and sensible.

Music and Other Departments? A Vinoth Kumar and Pon Parthiban have cooked a bland and boring story. The dialogues also barely worked. In terms of the other Technical Departments, Sam CS’s background score is only a bit noticeable. It has worked at places and in some places, the background score is good but did not work with the scenes. There are a couple of songs that are just for namesake. The cinematography is very average. The film feels lengthy even at a usual runtime.

Highlights? Sam CS’s Score at Places

Drawbacks? Poor Writing Boring & Predictable Scenes Lack of Logic Climax

  6. Laththi Movie Review: Interesting ideas get lathi-charged in this actioner

    Laththi Movie Review: Interesting ideas get lathi-charged in this actioner. Everything points at a fun, engaging action-thriller on paper, but the end result is quite the opposite. Debutant Vinoth Kumar's Laththi has a hero-elevation line said by a bad guy that goes: " Avan namba kita maatala da, namba dhaan avan kita maati irukom!

  7. Laththi Movie Review: Vishal's action drama is riveting with minor

    Director Vinoth Kumar's Laththi, starring Vishal, Sunaina and Ramana, is a compelling action drama with excellent stunt choreography. The film manages to hold your attention, for the most part, says our review. Vishal's Laththi hit the theatres on December 22. It's been quite a while since Vishal gave a superhit venture.

  8. Laththi (2022)

    Now you'd expect a twist of the variety the movie has in store sometime or the other, but it still hits pretty hard. It is well placed, and well enacted. The action sequences are well executed. The traps, the lighting, and the stunts, while definitely over-the-top, are still pretty entertaining to watch.
