Story

Shiva, a thief, and his gang of friends experience spooky incidents in a haunted bungalow that they visit after committing a robbery.

After playing Dhanush's brother in Velai Illa Pattadhari, Hrishikesh makes his debut as a lead actor with Rum, which has hit the screens today.

 

Rum is the latest addition to the long, long list of horror comedy films in Tamil cinema. Vivek, Hrishikesh, Sanchita, Amzath and Arjun Chidambaram are a group of people who indulge in robbery activities for money. Situations force them to stay in a guest house, where they experience many unusual happenings. What is the reason for all these happenings and why are the souls disturbing these five people? How are they connected to the ghosts? You’d get the answer to all these questions when you witness the film.

Hrishikesh who plays the lead could have emoted better and worked on his expressions more. Sanchita’s character has less scope to perform, though she travels throughout the film. Vivek has been the backbone of this movie because his comedy one-liners save the movie from its low moments. Miya George comes in a very brief role for about 15 to 20 minutes, while Narain, gets a meaty role to perform.
