I was browsing through Facebook, I came across the IMDB Top 10 Indian films of 2018. Of course I had no doubt that Sriram Raghavan's Andhadhun will make it to the top spot but I was curious to know the second spot, which went to a Tamil film, Ratsasan. I was so happy to watch this film that immediately I had to write the review to let people know about one the best who-done-it crime-thriller ever made in India.

Ratsasan tells the story of an aspiring film-maker, Arun Kumar, who wants to make a psychological thriller film. After being turned down several times, Arun finally decides to become a police officer but little did he know that the information which he collected to make a psychological thriller film, will come in handy to track down a psychopath whose victim is teenage school girls in the city of Chennai.

Ratsasan starts off with usual murders taking place in Chennai but gets to the point directly and keeps you engrossed till the actual drama unfolds. Few scenes in in the first half will send the chill down your spine while second half consist of momentum building up and will keep you tensed. There is a scene in the second half which shows a school girl's kidnap situation and how the police react to each and every step. It will definitely keep your mouth wide-open for sometme. But main twist is in the end which is the highlight of the film and you will know who is the main culprit here. The action scene in the climax is superbly executed. Credit goes to the director for handling the thriller quite well. Acknowledgement for screenplay as well. Dialogues are good. Story is awesome.. Hats off to Ramkumar for keeping the audience on the edge of the seat. A big shout to the writers for valuable story while dialogues are superb. Background score is superb making the film more intense. Cinematography is nice catching the essence of Chenna city while art direction is simple.

Ratsasan belongs to Vishnu Vishal as he will surprise you with his versatile act. I loved the actor playing the role of Christopher. Other actors were equally good.

Overall, a perfect what-will-happen-next thriller to enjoy and break-away from your usual daily routine. Superb 4/5 1 out of 2 found this helpful.
