Atul D @RT32429957 Sep 27 At its core, Darbar doesn’t reinvent the wheel — a cop father, a beloved daughter, drug busts, and corruption are familiar tropes. Yet, the way AR Murugadoss unfolds the screenplay keeps the story engaging and surprisingly fresh. Rajinikanth plays Aaditya Arunachalam with a blend of charm and authority — a confident cop who relies on both intellect and strength. His presence carries the film with ease, and watching him slip into this stylish avatar is a treat in itself. Among the supporting cast, Nivetha Thomas stands out with a composed performance, while the police team around Rajini feels well-knit and authentic. Murugadoss directs with flair, mixing mass entertainment and meaningful beats in a 60/40 balance. The action sequences are crafted to suit Rajinikanth’s age, leaning toward sleek and swift choreography rather than brute spectacle. Backed by sharp cinematography and detailed set design, the film maintains a polished visual appeal. Thematically, Darbar taps into justice and the father-daughter bond while sprinkling in the masala elements audiences expect. Anirudh’s music amplifies the high points, giving the film its stylish punch. Still, the climax, while good, comes across as slightly rushed. Suniel Shetty’s villain is built up with menace early on but ultimately feels nerfed, lowering the final conflict’s impact. Sum up - Darbar thrives on Rajinikanth’s charisma, clever direction, and its mix of mass and sentiment. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a stylish entertainer elevated by the superstar’s screen presence.

It comes across as bland for the most part where the humor or the thrills are concerned. The only thing that stands out is the bond b/w Rajni and his daughter which is portrayed beautifully but other than that a forgettable film.

At best, a one time watch for Rajini. Even his acting was average compared to Petta. See more Read all reviews
