Vijay Antony’s latest Tamil crime thriller, Raththam, has locked its release window on Prime Video. The streaming platform will release the C. S. Amudhan’s directional on November 3.
Apart from Antony, the film stars Mahima Nambiar, Nandita Swetha, Remya Nambeesan, Nizhalgal Ravi, Uday Mahesh, and more talents.
Raththam revolves around Ranjith Kumar, a popular investigative journalist who quits his job after enduring a personal tragedy. He lives in Kolkata with his daughter. The mysterious murder of Chezhiyan (Aravinth Sundar), who is also Kumar’s best friend, forces the protagonist to step back into the world of crime. Chezhiyan was an editor of a media house. His killer was a diehard fan of an actor, and he gets angry at Chezhiyan for publishing a highly negative story about his idol. Are we looking at a crime of passion here? Or is the killer a real victim here?
Vijay Antony’s performance has received praise from critics. The latter have also appreciated the film’s intriguing premise and the performances from the rest of the cast members. Though, they did point out some tonal inconsistencies in the film.
Raththam was Antony’s fourth feature project of 2023. He also starred in Tamilarasan, Pichaikkaran 2, and Kolai. He also helmed the Pichaikkaran sequel. The film was a commercial success, earning nearly 36 crores at the box office.
