The
film
Rathinirvedam
stars
the
buxom
hot
babe
Swetha
Menon.
The
movie
is
dubbed
in
Telugu
which
was
released
recently
in
Malayalam
and
is
a
remake
of
the
1980s
film
of
the
same
name.
Jayabharathi
and
Krishnachandran
played
the
roles
of
Rathi
and
Pappu
in
the
film
directed
by
Bharathan.
We
now
have
Swetha
playing
Rathi
while
Sreejith
Vijay
plays
Pappu
in
the
remake
directed
by
TK
Rajeev
Kumar.
Story:
The
story
of
the
original
Rathinirvedam
and
the
new
one
are
basically
the
same.
It
is
about
a
beautiful
and
sexy
woman.
A
young
boy,
who
is
set
to
join
engineering,
goes
to
his
native
place
and
sees
his
beautiful
neighbour
Swetha
chechi.
He
is
still
an
adolescent
and
he
is
totally
infatuated
by
the
woman.
She
awakens
the
manhood
and
sexual
desires
in
him.
The
boy
is
so
infatuated
by
the
woman
that
he
goes
mad
dreaming
about
realising
his
sexual
curiosity
and
fantasy.
The
story
is
what
happens
in
the
end.
This
is
the
basic
plot.
Swetha
Menon
oozes
sex
and
it
is
her
sex
appeal
that
has
driven
largely
to
garner
maximum
publicity
for
the
film.
Even
the
posters
show
her
in
very
sexy
and
hot
poses.
However,
the
film
does
not
work
fully.
The
film,
in
this
present
age
where
adultery
and
illicit
relationships
are
very
common,
–
the
plot
looks
too
old
and
cliched.
Performance:
Swetha
Menon
is
hot
and
fits
the
role
of
Rathi
perfectly.
The
camera
focuses
on
her
ample
assets
and
this
is
a
visual
feat
for
all
her
fans.
She
does
justice
to
her
role.
Sreejith
looks
a
bit
old
than
the
adolescent
that
he
is
supposed
to
be.
Still,
he
manages
to
do
a
convincing
job.
Maniyanpillai
Raju,
Latha,
Shammi
Tilakan,
Pakru,
Maya
and
others
do
a
decent
job.

Analysis
and
verdict:
Rathinirvedam
is
set
in
the
80"s.
The
director
has
tried
to
recreate
the
period
look
with
costumes,
watches,
furniture
and
other
paraphernalia.
Still
in
the
songs
one
finds
the
actors
in
modern
and
trendy
costumes.
The
director
should
have
taken
care
of
this.
The
film
does
not
excite
as
the
original.
The
drawback
could
be
due
to
the
lack
of
chemistry
between
the
lead
actors
Swetha
Menon
and
Sreejith.
The
film
is
not
just
sleazy
as
the
promos
suggest
but
it
is
a
film
that
tries
to
explore
the
deeper
human
emotions
and
relationships.
All
said
and
done,
this
remake
is
still
far
below
the
standards
of
the
original.
