Ratsasan

Gritty, Dark, Compelling and Unforgiving.... Raam Kumar has done it again!!! This is from the guy who gave us " Mundasupatti".. Hats Off Director! And the performances are Top Notch!!! A Milestone in Vishnu Vishal's Career. It has some tiny teeny flaws that can definitely be forgotten.As far as Killer/Slasher movies go in Tamil, this will be remembered for a long Time. Don;t miss it....

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.

A benchmark set for next upcoming psycho thrillers.

I watched Ratsasan today and was compelled to review and ask movie buffs to add this masterpiece thriller in their wish-list. This is a rollercoaster ride which doesn't let you comfortably sit in your seat. This is the longest rollercoaster I have ever sat on. Very gripping narrative, with a mind numbing, soul quenching background score. From cinematography to editing to acting, all in all a masterpiece. Movies first half ends at a point, where you are hungry to discover the killer but the second half leaves you at the edge of your seat until you reach home, still in the reminiscences of the killer, one struggles to sleep. Yes, all of this despite being completely unfamiliar with Tamil language.

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...
