Everything was great except ending

Mr Akshay (Jubaan Kesari) always want him alone at ending thats why I have given 6 ⭐

Firstly the word Ratsasan means demon. Rakshasudu(2019) is the official Telegu second remake of Ratsasan. The word Rakshasudu also means demon. Rakshasa, Sanskrit (male) Raksasa, or (female) Raksasi, in Hindu mythology, a type of demon or goblin. Rakshasas have the power to change their shape at will and appear as animals, as monsters, or in the case of the female demons, as beautiful women.

Cuttputlli, also kathputli means puppet. There is no such word as "cuttputlli". I think the word means a puppet with cuts all over its body.

All three movies, Ratsasan, Rakshasudu and finally Cuttputlli center around a serial killer that targets young teenage girls. Thrust into the mystery is a new recruit to the police who is also an aspiring filmmaker that wants to make a movie based on a serial killer. He had also written a script and submitted it, however it was rejected. Failing to do this he takes the role of a sub-inspector with the help of his brother-in-law in order to earn a living.

He soon becomes embroiled in the murder mystery surrounding the discovered bodies of the missing teenage girls due to his imaginative mind.

The original Ratsasan was very suspenseful. The subsequent remakes are watered-down versions that will not appeal to fans of the original 2018 movie.

I found the acting mediocre and even the star-power of Akshay Kumar fails to save this film. Pointless and I don't recommend this if you've seen Ratsasan it is an unnecessary remake and just a waste of money and time.

It's sheer bad luck for Akshay Kumar that they choose classic like this for straight away OTT release. For a fan of thriller movies the plot may seem predictable, but then it is the authenticity in the narrative of the sequential events that will keep your interest in this movie alive till the very end.

Usually Bollywood thriller's are more focused on a happier than the real life narrative and a saviour supercop but the simplicity of all the lead characters in this classic makes it more relatable and hence a memorable experience.

It was also good to see Chandrachur Singh back on the screen after such a long time and he manages to display his now polished acting skill in a limited role.

Considering the plot, Rakul Preet aptly justifies her screen time.

Cuttputtli (puppet) is a fine piece of work that is being shrugged of by few due to comparison with other relatable stuffs.

Before starting, I would like to clarify that I haven't watched Ratsasan yet so I'm judging this as a stand-alone film and not as a remake.

Now, coming to the film, my expectations weren't too high from Akshay Kumar's 4th release of the year since all the other 3 have been absolute duds. Surprisingly though, the film did manage to keep me hooked. The storyline is engaging, the performances are good, Akshay Kumar doesn't deliver anything special but he does a good enough job, the same can be said for the rest of the cast, decent, but not pathbreaking.

The screenplay is a bit too fast at first but settles down after the first few minutes until Akshay Kumar & Rakul Preet Singh break into a horribly tragic song called 'Saathiya' that has no place in a film like this. It made me wonder why on earth was it even made? Specially when they were gonna release it on hotstar? Like, just let us stay invested in the case no?

Putting that aside, the film is gripping and had me curious to know who the killer actually was and for a suspense thriller, I think that's good enough.

I have just two complaints though, 1) the BGM. It didn't have any impact at all, average at best which kinda hinders the film & 2) A RUSHED CLIMAX (which has been a feature of recent AK films tbh), would've loved to see a more detailed origin of the killer, it seemed odd to just end the film like that after so much of building up. A lukewarm ending I must say but an above average film nonetheless.

Last Word : Cuttputli is a one time watch for those who haven't watched Ratsasan. It's nothing special but it's a fairly decent watch for the weekend.

Yes as everyone has heard its an exact copy of Ratsasan. So for those who already have watched the southindian movie on youtube save your time. Though you can watch it as the dubbing was poor on youtube. Acting wise this everybody fails to leave a mark. Akshay to akshay hai.. emotional scenes me bhai lagta hai he is gonna gilggle now. One more thing is the runtime of the movie, could have been atleast 20 minutes shorter. Song was NEEDLESS. They fail to capture the beauty of mountains.. sigh! And its about time akshay considers doing roles his age. We can clearly see the greys in almost every scene. Wrinkles can be seen even after buffering.
