Ratsasan

A benchmark set for next upcoming psycho thrillers.

This Movie is On Another Level. But South Director should Dub their movies in All Indian Languages especially Hindi. Many people even dont know about this Masterpiece. Because of this Bollywood Makes remake of this type of movies.

Great plot, good execution, and great performances made this a memorable outing for me...

First of all, would love to see Vishnu Visal going forward selecting good stories like this. Indru Netru Naalai was a similar selection from him. Here too, he selected a proper psycho-thriller, which I haven't seen executed this well in recent years in Indian cinema. Making a 2hr 45 min long movie takes guts these days. It shows how confident the director was, with the content.

A lot of set-ups and pay-offs are there in the movie, which spring up every now and then making it interesting. The BG Score by Ghibran was great, kept me glued to the screen. The children performed so well in their respective roles, and so did Amala Paul, Kali Venkat, Nizhalgal Ravi, etc.. The twists were believable, and not the familiar one-twist saves all kindof mediocre stuff.

It tests your observation throwing stuff right in front of your eyes, and hiding them perfectly. Worth a watch...

This is amongst the best thriller movie to come out of India. Period.

Now I'll rant a little. I'm a Hindi speaker. Why can't bollywood make even close to such movies. Nepotism and Khan kapur nexus has destroyed our movie industry!!

Mild spoilers: Film follows a whodunit style narrative and the lead cop is trying to catch the serial killer that's what forms the crux of the story. Typical concept that we usually see in investigative thriller however what makes it cut above rest is its screenplay and spine chilling bgm. Film has its flaws and often tries to deceive audience by throwing usual bait to confuse and later lead to another perpetrator, to me which was quite obvious. Make up department could have done a better job. On the acting front lead actors were convincing and has done good job. Positives: background score, Screenplay, Actors, cinematography. Negative side: film was quite lengthy, killer's killing motives lack finesse. Film definitely deserves your time and money because after completing watching movie it will definitely haunt you for some time for its eerie vibe and bgm that has to offer you.
