Simple fact - don't remake a thriller/whodunnit! Especially of widely acclaimed movies like Ratsasan. Two months ago, we had a similar situation with the Rajkummar Rao starrer HIT. Cuttputtli follows the same pattern by adopting the original scene by scene with no ingenuity whatsoever (except the massive cut).
Ratsasan's plot shifts to the scenic Himachal, where newly inducted SI Arjan (Akshay) has to hunt down a serial killer, who is targeting teenage girls.
The biggest issue with Cuttputtli is the timing. Dumped on OTT, just two weeks after Akshay Kumar's last release seems to convey how the expectations from the actor has dropped. The other one is obviously the rushed climax that destroys the movie. The antagonist is reduced to a two-dimensional (rather one) caricature of a character. The backstory is reduced to a 10 second montage (pathetic!).
Akshay Kumar doesn't seem like the right guy for this role. This could have done by a newcomer instead. At least it would have given them a good launchpad. The other actors don't matter here because they don't have to do much. Chandrachur SIngh's presence is welcoming though. His renaissance has been one of the better ones the industry has seen.
Cuttputtli is a miserable attempt at remaking a film. Akshay Kumar's choices are akin to those of Mohanlal or maybe he just has a lot of free time on his hands to do five films a year. Whatever it is, I have almost lost faith.

Movie is pretty boring, don't understand why in bollywood movies only lead star is portrayed as intelligent and all other police force as dumb and their sole purpose of their existing is to oppose the lead star even if they sound stupid while doing so. Script is pretty juvenile and loose and makers of this movie should watch Netflix series delhi crime to understand how to present a police story. All in all a time waste am sure the original South Indian movie would be much better. On top of it movie even has a love song which is totally out of place and pls remind me what is Rakulpreets role in the movie? Oh yes our hero needed a heroine so she had to be adjusted in script. Bollywood tumse na ho payega.. Pls rehne do.. Reham karo janta pe.
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.
I didn't watched other movies following same story . I directly came to watch this version of Akshay Kumar. After hearing lots of dialogue are copied as film my respect is gone for this movie.
Now talking about movie, young school girls are getting killed one by one and a newbie cop who wanted to be a crime thriller movie director finds a pattern in killing. Story is only main factor of this movie and nothing else add anything. You can't find anything interesting other than just story making progress for finding criminal, love story of cop and songs ruined this parts also. Last fight between killer and cop is also kind of lame.
Why such need of love story angle in ongoing murder? Its is the biggest question should be asked from bollywood movies makers.
