The film got a theatrical release on 2 February 2024.

Plot

Abdul Musaliar and his wife Fathima live a hard life. However, their lives take a turn for the worse, when their son Rashid goes missing. To make matters worse, Rashid is also accused of orchestrating multiple blasts. How will Abdul and his wife find out the ultimate truth? Will they ever get to know the reality?

Star Performances

For all the flaws of this film, at least two people did attempt to do justice to their job.

While Harison Luke tried to make the film visually appealing, Shaju Shaam as the distraught father attempted to engage the audience with whatever he could offer.

Analysis

A missing son, distraught parents, and a case of mistaken identity. It's probably a great formula for a riveting movie. This is what Lalji George would have thought in mind until the execution got the better of him.

There is nothing more repelling than a film that is incomplete in concept. However, this is what ‘Rhithum: Beyond the Truth’ suffers from. It begins as a quest for the truth. However, by the time the film comes to an end, the audience, as well as the characters of the film are confused about what they were looking for.

Despite his vision, writer cum director Lalji George could not convert the same into a brilliant screenplay. Despite the short runtime of one and a half hours, the film tests the audience's patience more than once. The film looks incomplete, both in terms of narrative, as well as structure. It looks as if the makers had conceived of a brilliant idea, and then left it midway to just complete the project on time.

However, there were still a couple of people, who did their best to salvage this film. One of them was Harison Luke, who tried his best to give this film an aesthetically appealing touch. The other was Shaju Shaam, who as the distraught father, exuded the right emotions needed for this role.

What's There?

The camerawork by Harison Luke
Earnest performance from Shaju Shaam

What's Not There?

Editing that is best left forgotten
Actors completely clueless about their assignment
Lousy screenplay with no clue of vision

Verdict

‘Rhithum: Beyond the Truth’ was not a high-stake film. Yet, the basic idea was good enough for a compelling social drama. The execution, however, is a different story. Watch it if only for the visuals, or the acting of Shaju Shaam as the distressed father.
