Cuttputlli Movie Review | Akshay Kumar | Disney Hotstar

Cuttputlli: Crime Thriller Psychopath story based on a real event that happened in Russia. This story was already taken in Tamil as Ratchasan in 2018. I already watched Ratchasan Tamil movie and really curious to watch Cuttputlli after watching the trailer.

Akshay Kumar played an aspiring director role and later turned into a Cop due to family pressure. His role was played by Vishnu Vishal in Tamil, which is more convincing and apt for that character. Same time, it never becomes too odd to accept Akshay in this role. In this movie, director Ranjit made certain changes to maintain Akshay’s Superstar image in Bollywood. Choosing Kasauli is a good choice and the visuals along with the background score really supported this film. Same time, nowadays Bollywood directors choosing hill stations for thriller movies is like work from vacation.

Arjan(Akshay Kumar) lives in Kasauli with his family consisting of Seema (Hrishitaa), her husband Narinder (Chandrachur) and her daughter Payal. Narinder is also a cop, working with Arjan in the same police station. Rakul is Payal's school teacher and Arjan’s love interest too.  At Kasauli, School girls got kidnapped and killed sequentially one by one. Kasauli cops can’t able to figure out what exactly going on. The Cop team headed by SHO Parmar(Sargun) used the traditional method of investigation to solve this peculiar case. Based on Arjan’s previous research for his movie script he has good knowledge in the Psycho killer area. So he found the pattern in starting itself and he tried in many ways to convey this to Parmar. But she is not in a mindset to listen anything from him. Even, Arjan’s uncle Narinder also not ready to hear anything from Arjan regarding this case. How Arjan solved this case and how much we engaged in this movie is the rest of this story.

In Ratchasan(original version), there is one-night scene in a bike that creates a strong bond between hero and heroine. But here it’s totally changed and it’s nice to watch too. But the lack of strong connectivity makes us hard to believe the coordination between Akshay and Rakul. Later at one point, Arjan got a chance to lead the cop to find the killer. In the original version there is an urge and struggle has been maintained till the end. It becomes a great advantage for Ratchasan and we also get engaged till the end. In the case of Cuttputlli, Akshay's director made some changes in the hospital scene. As a result, that scene only becomes interesting and it pays the way for Arjan to lead the cop team. The rest all similar to the original. Christoper's character scared us and the school teacher Purushottam also performed well.

We can watch freely without any tension because Cuttputlli is like Ratchasan’s lite version. Some scenes are really interesting and different from the original version. But lack of emotion is the only thing I want to mention. At some point, it becomes a typical Bollywood hero worship movie. Apart from that, its ok to watch this movie at Hotstar once.
