Rahasya (2015)

Perfect cast and a good story

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I had read a lot of good reviews about this movie and was looking forward to watching it, since some of the Indian thrillers I've recently watched have been satisfying; such as Talvar, Highway, Pink, No One Killed Jessica etc. etc. But this was not one of them. The story starts so complicated that I was wondering what kinda geniuses would the writers be, to wrap it up in a decent a way, but it didn't end with a good or even a decent twist. The twist connected to all the incidents throughout the movie was so dumb and childish that I could not believe the rating was so high for this movie. I gave it a three only for some good acting. Gosh the part where he exposes the wife of murdering the kid with she repeatedly answers: "huh? huh?" And to believe such a stupid person whose only response to all these allegations is "Huh?", instead of a good alibi or explanation, is behind the master plan of a double murder? I don't even wanna talk about the plot holes and waste more time on this garbage.

Watching Rahasya made me happy. The movie was a pleasant surprise. No big budget, no songs, no Bollywood gimmicks...still a good movie. The crime thriller has a good cast. It starts slowly and grips you as the plot unfolds. Very well-paced, the one mystery leads to another, much like some of the Korean and Danish thrillers. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. The acting is good, direction is effective and the main plot seems to be inspired by a real incident. Together, they make Rahasaya, an unlike-Bollywood thriller. Good that there was no song and dance numbers. I don't wish to spoil the party by talking about the plot and the well-timed twists. You must relish it on a lazy afternoon. Totally worth it!

I guess this is derived from well known Talwar case of Delhi.Movie team has perfectly articulated story and created this plot.It would have been better if they could start the movie with gel up scenes.Still its new story and best acting from KK Menon.Good to see Ashish V after long time. Directory has managed to run multiple thread in one story.Its inspiring story to all officers who are honest and want to protect justice.Hats off mr. menon for another good movie.They should have promoted this to audience. This kind of movies are far better than typical masala ones. They entertain well and give value for money deal.

Rahasya is a murder mystery loosely inspired by Arushi murder case.The movie is about the murder of a teenager girl and the attempt of a CBI officer to unmask the killer.Their are many positive points about the movie and writing is one of them which is engrossing.Its screenplay is very absorbing.Right from the beginning you begin to guess about the killer among them.The flow is very fluent and the movie is a straight forward one.Their are no unnecessary sub-plots or scenes which regulates the flow of film.The main quality of the film is that it keeps you guessing till the very end.The apex of the movie is superb.1st half is good and intensifies the mystery.The way the suspense builds up is really amazing.2nd half is good although is a bit overstretched.K.K menon is a very good actor and plays the role brilliantly.He is awesome in the role of a CBI officer and as a husband who cares for his family and can't compromise with his moral ethics.He doesn't takes bribe even when his wife forces her to do so by referring their weak economical condition.His dialog delivery is so simple and riveting.His expressions are brilliant.He is simply a powerhouse of talent.Tisca chopra is good although in some scenes she becomes uneasy.Ashish vidhyarthi was awesome.Its good and soothing experience to see him in such a brilliant role.Rest of the star- cast is also good.Manish Gupta,with his direction shows how excellent storyteller he is?The ways he proceeds the story while not loosing his grip is truly worth applause. Dialogs of the movie are good and matches consummately with the tone of the movie.Cinematography is good and captures the true Mumbai where the poor and rich peoples live together.The locations of the movie is good and magnifies the tense atmosphere of the movie positively.The length of the movie is short although could have been little more shorter.If you are a lover of a mystery thriller then you must go for it.It is very rare in bollywood to make such a climatic and vivid thriller which makes you guessing till the end.It is a gripping and riveting film which keeps you hooked.A nice and realistic cinematic experience. I would lovingly rate it 7.4 out of 10.
