Sathyaraj's epic superhero story tries for the stars but falls flat on the viewers

Until Hollywood continues to set the gold standard for filmmaking and tastes, there will be little room for creative ideas. Not a single concept in Weapon is not derived from a Hollywood superhero movie. Weapon, which is basically just a group of people sitting around telling you stories, opens with a narrative about a fictitious alternate reality in which Nazi scientists create a superhuman serum that ends up in India after Subhash Chandra Bose travels to Germany during World War II. The concept is only an Indianization of the numerous superhero connections to Nazis seen in the Marvel comics. This is the height of inventiveness that filmmaker Guhan Senniappan is able to achieve in the enormously disorganized screenplay, where it is difficult to understand what is happening.

In terms of the plot, Netaji's fellow soldier brings the serum to India without telling him about it. He injects it into his son, who becomes a monster with superhuman abilities beyond mere strength and endurance, as the Nazi force comes looking for him. He has telekinetic, telepathic, and other abilities. Black Society Division 9 is led by the antagonist DK (Rajiv Menon). He is also a scientist who has created sophisticated holograms, nanobots, a serum that regrows lost limbs, and other devices. Everything in this movie is over the top, with the exception of enjoyment, skill, and fun. The film centers around YouTuber Agni, who investigates extraterrestrial people for his channel.
