Cuttputlli

Simple fact - don't remake a thriller/whodunnit! Especially of widely acclaimed movies like Ratsasan. Two months ago, we had a similar situation with the Rajkummar Rao starrer HIT. Cuttputtli follows the same pattern by adopting the original scene by scene with no ingenuity whatsoever (except the massive cut).

Ratsasan's plot shifts to the scenic Himachal, where newly inducted SI Arjan (Akshay) has to hunt down a serial killer, who is targeting teenage girls.

The biggest issue with Cuttputtli is the timing. Dumped on OTT, just two weeks after Akshay Kumar's last release seems to convey how the expectations from the actor has dropped. The other one is obviously the rushed climax that destroys the movie. The antagonist is reduced to a two-dimensional (rather one) caricature of a character. The backstory is reduced to a 10 second montage (pathetic!).

Akshay Kumar doesn't seem like the right guy for this role. This could have done by a newcomer instead. At least it would have given them a good launchpad. The other actors don't matter here because they don't have to do much. Chandrachur SIngh's presence is welcoming though. His renaissance has been one of the better ones the industry has seen.

Cuttputtli is a miserable attempt at remaking a film. Akshay Kumar's choices are akin to those of Mohanlal or maybe he just has a lot of free time on his hands to do five films a year. Whatever it is, I have almost lost faith.

Everything was great except ending

Mr Akshay (Jubaan Kesari) always want him alone at ending thats why I have given 6 ⭐

Start to end the remake was perfect but at end every police mans we cannot see only Akshay running here and there

Police suddenly disappeared from everywhere there I have deducted the review.

Thanks Hope Team will understand.

It's sheer bad luck for Akshay Kumar that they choose classic like this for straight away OTT release. For a fan of thriller movies the plot may seem predictable, but then it is the authenticity in the narrative of the sequential events that will keep your interest in this movie alive till the very end.

Usually Bollywood thriller's are more focused on a happier than the real life narrative and a saviour supercop but the simplicity of all the lead characters in this classic makes it more relatable and hence a memorable experience.

It was also good to see Chandrachur Singh back on the screen after such a long time and he manages to display his now polished acting skill in a limited role.

Considering the plot, Rakul Preet aptly justifies her screen time.

Cuttputtli (puppet) is a fine piece of work that is being shrugged of by few due to comparison with other relatable stuffs.

I didn't watched other movies following same story . I directly came to watch this version of Akshay Kumar. After hearing lots of dialogue are copied as film my respect is gone for this movie.

Now talking about movie, young school girls are getting killed one by one and a newbie cop who wanted to be a crime thriller movie director finds a pattern in killing. Story is only main factor of this movie and nothing else add anything. You can't find anything interesting other than just story making progress for finding criminal, love story of cop and songs ruined this parts also. Last fight between killer and cop is also kind of lame.

Why such need of love story angle in ongoing murder? Its is the biggest question should be asked from bollywood movies makers.

Yes as everyone has heard its an exact copy of Ratsasan. So for those who already have watched the southindian movie on youtube save your time. Though you can watch it as the dubbing was poor on youtube. Acting wise this everybody fails to leave a mark. Akshay to akshay hai.. emotional scenes me bhai lagta hai he is gonna gilggle now. One more thing is the runtime of the movie, could have been atleast 20 minutes shorter. Song was NEEDLESS. They fail to capture the beauty of mountains.. sigh! And its about time akshay considers doing roles his age. We can clearly see the greys in almost every scene. Wrinkles can be seen even after buffering.
