Don't Believe the Hype

Did you people see the same film I saw?

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I watched Rahasya on TV last night. Wasn't sure quite what to expect as I did not remember the reviews when it released.This is an out and out Kay Kay Menon movie and he did his role brilliantly right down to the last scene.Rahasya is a tightly scripted, taut murder mystery which keeps you guessing almost till the end.The plot is interesting and deliciously complicated as any good murder story should be. All the actors essay their roles very well.This whodunnit will appeal especially to fans of Agatha Christie, and to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery.

Simply the best thriller and suspense movie I watched till now. KK Menon Sir, I am your new fan after watching this movie. Great direction, superb acting from all of the cast. The movie is so awesome, it keeps you engaged all the time. I just love the plot, screenplay, story and everything about the movie. I wish the CBI acts in same way as shown in the movie, but unfortunately our CBI is also corrupt and they cant solve a case in the same manner as shown in the movie. Great movie, Awesome Acting. Its sad to see that movie of this kind wont earn much and wont get much fame in India. But third class movies of SRK and Salmaan would earn millions.!

first of all, this film isn't worth the hype it is getting. It feels unrealistic at most of the time. A teen girl got murdered and suspicion goes from one person to another. In the climax, when the killer is indeed shown, you can get the feeling that, "yes, i have knew it all along because the killer was shown in a very innocent manner till that moment." It just raises your eyebrows when everyone is getting suspected yet, that person is going unnoticed ALL THE TIME. Lots of plot holes yet, considering it is from bollywood, i am forgiving in that part. The climax is way too much "filmy" than a practical one. it isn't a 7+ movie. it is more of a 5.0 to 6.0 one. If you want to watch a good thriller, i'll recommend "Ugly" it is 8.3 as of now (jusrtified rating). To decrease the inflation, i'll give this film a 2 star (more so for cinematography) so that its rating goes a little bit lower to reflect the correct measure. Not a disappointing movie. an okish one.

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.
