Nahas Hidayath’s ‘RDX’, on Netflix, has okayish stunts backed up by solid emotional beats and appealing protagonists — the result is a not-bad action movie

The film stars Shane Nigam, Anthony Varghese, Neeraj Madhav, and Mahima Nambiar. The small tweaks in the plot and the characters give the clichéd storyline enough intrigue to make ‘RDX’ more than just a bunch of Insta-reels of fights. 

If is an explosive novel, the romance between Robert and Mini is a lovely little short story. The characters are played by Shane Nigam and Mahima Nambiar, and in the little time they get together, we see the blossoming of love. We get a nice scene that says the direct approach is the best approach. We get the reasons that could drive Robert and Mini apart: caste, as well as the fact that he’d rather spend time at karate class than work in his father’s mill. It is at this mill that the cutest moment unfolds, when Robert indirectly attempts to solve the issue of getting married to Mini. (This “scheme” has to do with his older brother Dony, played by Anthony Varghese.) This little love story – this short story – has both joy and sadness. Mini enters the film, saying that she wants to rough up a man. She leaves the film with this wish fulfilled. The arc is complete. It’s a good bit of writing, and more importantly, it’s just writing that such a film needs.
