Ratsasan

I came across this title on IMDb n the synopsis piqued up interest. As a fan of serial killer films n aft seeing almost every Hollywoood, Korean, Spanish n German serial killer films, I can vouch that this film is well made for fans of the genre. I am not familiar with any of the star cast, director or people involved with this film. The lead actor is decent n the actress very hot. The plot is about a man who is obsessed with serial killers n who wants to join film making business but out of family pressure has to join police police force. At the same time there is a serial lurking in the cops's precinct killing young girls. The female who played the cop's sis cannot act for sure. Some of the action sequences were laughable n also the last scene with the cop n the killer face to face n the then hide n seek n the action was a bit lousy. The house of the killer had a creepy feel to it n there is sufficient tension n suspense. The background story of the killer was given too much time, in fact the problem with Indian cinema is that they spoon feed too much but thank God there were no lousy songs n unnecessary muscle flaunting. The film deserves a 7 but I am a bit generous with an 8 cos of the effort.

After Deeran, yet another highly impactful movie which gets elevated by Gibran's BGM. The antagonist detailing was so perfect and this Indian movie will surely give you goosebumps like hollywood thriller Seven etc.,

A must watch for any language viewer who loves psychological 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.

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.

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....
