Ratsasan Movie Review: A Slasher Meets Whodunit In This Film

Usually, murder mysteries are categorized in two different forms of fiction one is slasher type and the other is a whodunit. Both these forms are blended in this just-released Ratsasan which is brutal as well as unpredictable, sounds like a deadly combination.

The film revolves around Arun Kumar (Vishnu Vishal) who wants to be a filmmaker and his first film happens to be about a brutal serial killer. But because of family pressure and financial conditions, he agrees to become a police officer.

During his job, he comes across a case of a teenage girl who has been brutally murdered under gruesome circumstances and then follows many other cases where many teenage girls killed in a similar fashion. Which ultimately leads to the conclusion that it is a handiwork of a serial killer who selects his victims carefully and suffers from a mental condition which gives him a sadistic smile when he sees his victims in pain as he kills them in a cannibal method. By the way, the blood and gore in intense scenes are well toned for the faint-hearted and there is a little bit of suspense music infused when Arun investigates the murders at the crime scene courtesy of Ghibran.

Ram Kumar has written and directed the film in a really innovative manner, each scene and moment gets the viewer guessing about what is going to happen next? To keep the tension and anxiety toned, there is a brewing romance between Vishnu and Amala Paul to give a little light feeling to some of the viewers who have a tough time in watching such kind of films.
