Cuttputlli Movie Review: Positives

Staying true to what a suspense thriller should be, keeping neither the pace nor the tension dropping for a moment. Not only does Akshay Kumar come back with a quality film for all the family after not enjoying the best of times with his last three releases, but he also serves a timely reminder of his talent when he lands an author-backed role. The technical details elevate the script, with the location and camera work playing a major role in creating the right atmosphere, while the editing keeps you going as an audience.

Yes, Cuttputlli is an adaptation of the Tamil cult hit Ratsasan, but this is exactly how an adaptation should be: keeping the essence of the original and making its own way. Akshay gets plenty of support as Rakul Preet Singh, Chandrachur Singh and Sargun Mehta all perform efficiently on screen.

Cuttputlli Movie Review: Negatives

The few negatives here are that the movies could have been shorter and the tension, while very good, feels a step lower than Ratsasan, provided you’ve seen the original.

BL verdict

All things considered, Cuttputlli is a welcome return for Akshay Kumar, both as a film and his own performance. In fact, this should have made it to the big screen on one of its three previous releases this year. I’m going for 3.5 out of 5 stars.
