    *A Gripping Murder Mystery that Keeps You Guessing*

    Rahasya," directed by Manish Gupta, is a Indian thriller that delves into the complexities of a shocking murder case rooted in a seemingly tranquil household. The film draws inspiration from the real-life murder of a young medical student, Arushi Talwar, a case that captivated the nation and still resonates in contemporary discussions about justice and media portrayal of crime.

    The film revolves around the murder of an 18-year-old girl, Ayesha Mahajan (Sakshi Sem), in her own home. Her father, Sachin Mahajan (Ashish Vidyarthi), becomes the prime suspect, but CBI officer Sunil Paraskar (Kay Kay Menon) is determined to uncover the truth.

    What stands out in "Rahasya" is its multifaceted narrative structure. The film elegantly constructs a layered story that interweaves the main investigation with flashbacks, revealing the secrets and hidden tensions within the family. The screenplay is well-crafted, pulling the audience into the investigation and gradually unfolding various red herrings, keeping viewers guessing until the very end.

    Kay Kay Menon delivers a stellar performance as the dedicated CBI officer, his portrayal of a man determined to solve a complex case is both intense and compelling. Ashish Vidyarthi is equally impressive as the distraught father, his character's vulnerability and pain are palpable.

    The film's atmosphere is one of constant suspense. The screenplay, while inspired by a real-life tragedy, manages to create a fictional narrative that is both engaging and thought-provoking. The director's skill in building tension is evident throughout the film.

    Another highlight is the music, Which complements the film's tone and amplifies the emotions of key scenes. The soundtrack features haunting melodies that resonate with the underlying themes of loss and betrayal. The film's cinematography, effectively creates a tense atmosphere that mirrors the mounting suspense of the story.

    Despite its engaging plot and strong performances, "Rahasya" is not without its pitfalls. While the first half of the film is gripping, the climax could have been stronger. Some viewers might find the ending to be predictable or unsatisfying. Nonetheless, the film's exploration of the psychological impact of such a tragedy is commendable.

    Overall, "Rahasya" is an enthralling cinematic experience that successfully marries social commentary with the thrills of a murder mystery. It compels the audience to ponder the complexities of human relationships, the impact of societal pressures, and the fragile nature of truth. For those who crave intelligent storytelling filled with suspense, "Rahasya" stands as a note-worthy addition to the genre.

    Good thriller

    Rahasya is a very good thriller, till the last few minutes the real culprit cannot be identified, the story is well written. Chetan who is named right from the start is actually dead & has almost no role more than a minute of screen time. The detective played so well by Kay Kay actually at one time feels he is like a dog trying to catch his own tail. The best & most emotive of all actors was the role played by Ashwini as Remi fernandes. She could outclass even Kay Kay & Tisca. It is time we watch these kinds of movies than the 3 cheap Khans in their dumb movies. Rahasya is a must watch.

    One Of the underated Crime Thriller Film

    Rahasya is a one of the underated crime thriller film of Bollywood. I don't understand why the film was a flop at the box office.We want these types of film like 404 Error Not found,Table no 21,Talash and many more.Not like this Race 3,Baaghi 3,Khamoshiyan and many more. The film is a good suspense movie and the performance of many actors are outstanding specially Kay Kay Menon. He was the highlight of this film.He didn't dispointed us. Overall The film is a Good Suspense Thriller Film. My Rating 7/10

    Very watchable suspense with great acting

    KK's acting is superb and steals the show. The others are also usually good (with occasional overacting). I had never noticed Tisca Chopra earlier but she does a pretty good job in her limited role. Overall, characterisations are pretty good.

    Neat story. So far, I am unable to find a plothole.

    Many elements in the movie are portrayed realistically, with minor details like the behaviour of a hotel manager also taken into consideration.

    Overall, I liked the execution of the movie, a rare murder mystery from Bollywood. Recommended watch.

    Nice Film

    Rahasya is one of the best suspense thriller in recent time.its gripping screenplay and the matching direction keeps you always on the edge of your seat. brilliant performance by Kay Kay and his dialogues added more weightage to his presence。。。 yes being an audience it was my defeat by not guessing the right culprit till the end but i really enjoyed this defeat with a broad smile cause never expected such an extra ordinary climax with a logical reasoning.i must congratulate Mr. Manish Gupta and his team for this brilliant masterpiece and expect the same kind of quality work from him in future. Wish you luck for all future en devours.
