Ratsasan Review



Star Cast : Vishnu Vishal, Amala, Kaali Venkat, Munishkanth
Director : Ram Kumar

After Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, and the recent Imaikka Nodigal, here is another psycho-thriller from Mundasappati director Ramkumar. It is about a serial killer who is on a killing spree, as school kids are his target. A smart young cop who has just joined the police force has to track him down, as his family becomes the killer's target.

From its very opening scene, Ramkumar makes it clear that Ratsasan is not going to be an easy watch. Arun Kumar (Vishnu Vishal) is an aspiring filmmaker who has done detailed research on serial killers across the world for the script of his thriller film. But producers reject his stories citing various reasons including the dark tone of the subject.

Facing immense pressure from his mother and uncle, Arun is forced to become a cop, as he is offered the job of his late father. Interestingly, Arun's research on serial killers help him crack the case of a psycho who kidnaps and cruelly murders school girls in Chennai.

Ratsasan is one of Vishnu Vishal's career best as he looks super fit, confident and carries the role with ease and conviction. Amala Paul as a school teacher who later falls in love with the hero is apt but she has nothing much to do as the talented actress makes an entry at regular intervals. Ramadoss as Arun's uncle is very good.

Ghibran's background score raises the tempo. PV Shankar’s slow-moving frames speed up the tension but San Lokesh should have made the film crisp, as the film is too long and turns tedious at 170 minutes.

On the downside, the back story of the antagonist and his ulterior motive looks silly. Less said about his prosthetic make up which is tacky and amateurish. The egoistic lady officer is annoying and unwanted. The climax is too long and unending.
