Raatchasan (2018) : Brief Review -

A Top Class Psycho Killer Drama. There it is, another great psycho killer revenge drama in Indiana Cinema which can be called a Thriller too but not firmly. Although the thriller elements are less comparatively, one might find it Chilling and twisting with no Universal Classic Thrillers in watchlist in the past. Raatchasan is story of an aspiring filmmaker who joins Police department and gets involved in a Psycho Killer Murder chain on which he was supposed to make film earlier. This idea of trying to mix Filmy mind in realistic murder chain sounds interesting already but doesn't get enough boost on it till the core. Otherwise, as a murder mystery and crime drama the film keep everything on high from the twists to storytelling. However, the film comes with some blur loops which i feel are enough to not call it a great thriller but that doesn't mean just this one thriller factor takes away everything from the rest of the brilliant narrative. It might have some mistakes as a thriller but as Crime Drama or a Psycho Killer drama it has all perfectly blended. Couple of things were not done well such as the lady officer'a character which was too childish and non sense. Just a suggestion, it might have made sense if the last case had been the daughter of that lady officer and she had a change of heart. But anyways they left it incomplete and absurd. The actors were good in their roles, the screenplay was tight, music was dull and was put in for no reasons. Direction of Ram Kumar is fantastic considering the kind level Tamil Cinema has, so anyhow he was bounded to do some fumbles like leaving many scenes in bleak, unsettled in hurry. The same film might come out better in cinematic proportions if Remade in some bigger Industries. Certainly, this is a Classic Film and recommended to everyone but frankly it could have been the Bestest ever from the industry where it fell short.

RATING - 8/10*
