What disappointed me was that it took inspiration of Hollywood movies: Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and a Malayalam movie: Dhrishyam . The story, direction took so many aspects from this and mix it up to suit Indian version. Those who haven't watched any of these will feel Ratsasan is great and all that. But I felt it was a huge disappointment to see too many concept copies. Neither it leads a good love story, a predictable prolonged suspense, annoying starting without any purpose of him being aspiring film maker. The story jumps too many emotions just to keep people rolling on with suspense and emotions which it does multiple times.

It could have been a great movieif the director stopped too much taking much plots from all these movies to tell a simple story. Though I understand why it is liked by many. Because most Indians don't watch foreign films or even Hollywood films. And it takes granted for film makers to take things from others and pick a story and fuse those elements.

Acting are good in parts, but I wish they established a simple story, hold a bit to weave a nice character development of villain and antagonist to fit the story. Overall if you see movie as someone who never watched any world movies than surely it's good film but can't be called the best.
