Cuttputlli

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.
