sammy Much depends on the director. After all it is he who directs how people act in a movie. Manish Gupta delivers a very ordinary film. The movie needed a tight script, realistic dialogue and method acting. The aforesaid ingredients are however conspicuously absent from the scene. All the actors in the film have been ill-utilised. The acting lets down the entire show. Aiding this downfall is the unimaginative dialogue and plain editing. None of the actors is convincing , and even Kay Kay Menon seems rusty in his performance. In fact right from the opening scenes to the climax, one witnesses a sequence of melodramatic scenes . The movie slowly progresses from a credible who-what-how thriller to a a half cooked and far fetched masala movie. The multiple plots that are intertwined never come across as mutually compatible . The screenplay , like the story, is unrefined and malnourished. The film also has a copious quantity of clichéd elements and tried to hide its stereotypical image under the garb of "realistic-underbelly-vernacular-socio-linguistic" settings. I do not blame the director , it is quite the fad these days. The climax predictably misfits the preceding reels, for we have the writer trying to dramatize a Hercule Poirot tête-à-tête revelation , but what with a mediocre story and weak direction, ends up diluting the movie's credibility even further.All in all, it is not a great movie, but one can watch it once , in lieu of the very many cheesy romantic flicks being released in bulk. However, if I were to pick out a good Hindi language thriller from 2015 , it would have to be "Talwar" (Dir: Meghna Gulzaar) , with a far more effective and realistic depiction of criminality and criminal procedural law.

santosheflu 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!

Prahlad Agarwal Manish Gupta's second whodunit Rahasya is loosely based on Noida double murder Aarushi Talwar case. However, most facts have been de-arranged as the case is still open. This two hour long murder mystery is not an edge of the seat thriller but will surely keep you occupied with new events enfolding every next minute. Rahasya is directed on Agatha Christie theme, where the detective revels the murderer's identity in presence of all the characters. Coming after The Stoneman Murders (another wonderful murder mystery), Rahasya reinforces Manish Gupta as a prolific story teller. Kay Kay Menon never disappoints and presents his character in a classical flair. In spite of a great cast, a great story and a great controversy attached to itself, the movie has few rough edges. Nevertheless, it's a good movie and you will not regret watching it.

Prakash Lall As it is said for the movie, the plot has been inspired by the famous Aarushi murder case from the real past. The adaptation of the base idea has been beautifully executed and characterization is superb. Casting is the solid base and writing takes full marks. When a film maker attempts to show the ugly face of the society of millionaires, its becomes a responsibility to show it in its true color. Director has done a great job in execution and presentation of the movie. And when the audiences know the facts before hand it becomes more tough to make the whole story more interesting and exciting. It has the power to make you glued till the end.First half is all being the mysterious one and even the 80% of second half goes on the same mystery path, and at the end it is revealed. But yes, movie doesn't end till the last minute, for the audiences and that's the best thing, for a murder mystery thriller. Its a must watch for all those audiences who really like meaningful and quality cinema.
