Ratsasan is an engaging movie which keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the film. The script is crisp with several twists and turns making it harder for the audience to guess who the culprit is, until the end. The actors have all given fabulous performances with the negative characters deriving repulsion from their acting skills.

One drawback I found though is that a senior female police officer is reduced to an irresponsible, stupid woman who doesn't deserve to be in her position. Although I applaud the research based approach proving to give impactful results, the senior police officer could have been shown to encourage and hone the skills of the lead actor without taking away the spotlight. Instead the film accentuates age-old opinion that a woman deserves to be at home feeding her child rather than being a career woman. A thumbs down for this misogynistic perspective. (z)
