Laththi, an action thriller that begins in a conventionally commercial manner and then shifts into an entirely action-packed phase in the second half, continues Vishal's tradition of producing action thrillers with lots of stunt sequences.
Constable Muruganantham (Vishal) is currently suspended due to an incident that happened during his time as a police officer. He gets the chance to run into an old friend who convinces him to return to the profession as his difficult emotions take over and he is attempting to find a way back to it. However, just a few days after returning to work, Muruganantham is compelled to beat up a powerful criminal who plans to exact revenge on him. The action moves into a large, unfinished building as the mobster explores every avenue in an effort to locate and capture Muruganantham. The events in the movie are shaped by what takes place there.
Laththi has a compelling story, but it limits its possibilities. If more emphasis had been placed on the film's emotional beats than on its action sequences, it might have been even better than it is now. The beginning of the movie is extremely slowly and steadily advanced, and the first half of the movie scarcely has any significant high moments aside from the intermission block, which is quite fascinating. If you've enjoyed Vishal's action-oriented films in the past, you might find the second half of the movie to be entertaining. There is a 45-minute nonstop action segment that features a variety of styles and scenarios.
One does have the impression that filmmaker Vinoth might have made the film's screenplay pattern far more intriguing and compelling, managing to hold audiences' attention for a longer period of time. Currently, the movie lacks the peak moments necessary for an action thriller like this and is only partially developed in terms of presentation.
Vishal put up his most physically and mentally difficult effort for this picture, and it goes without saying that he did an extraordinary job. The actor has given the role his all. In order to make it look extremely realistic, he rolls in the sand, pulls at his skin, and even performs difficult acrobatics by himself.
The cinematography and other technical aspects of the movie are severely lacking, so it would have benefited him more if it had been made in an engaging manner. The supporting cast is only there to do their roles to a standard level and does not contribute much to the movie.
