Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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.

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.

I enjoyed the movie as it has done justice by showing crisp imitation of real world scenarios (as its inspired by Arushi murder case). Every scene was directed with same energy towards the story line. All characters were introduced and highlighted, still it was really difficult to guess the murderer. The climax was superb.Few suggestions: Some scenes should have been shot in more light. Murder mystery stories need not be necessarily showing dark screens/ environments.For making a movie on an actual murder case, it seems Director had to take care of group sentiments, however the casting team could include some superstar to add glamor to the story.

Director Manish Gupta returning to the genre of 'whodunit' suspense thrillers was enough to give me that much needed excitement as I really loved his THE STONEMAN MURDERS and rate it as one of the best films in this particular category coming from the new age talented actors and directors of Hindi cinema. So eager to see Kay Kay Menon once again in a Manish Gupta film, I entered the theatre in high spirits and came out largely satisfied with another well-paced, engrossing and a fine crime drama giving you the worth of your money spent in those two hours.Inspired from the infamous Aarushi Talwar murder case that kept everyone guessing till many months (or rather years), RAHASYA comes to the point right away with the murder and doesn't waste any time on silly introductions breaking the set norm of a Hindi film. It considers the viewers intelligent enough to take this no-nonsense opening spiritedly and then goes on building the suspense factor with its exceptional cast ensemble quite well. The film gains it actual momentum once Kay Kay comes in playing the main investigation officer and his interrogation sequence in the lockup lifts up the story progression impressively.The interest is kept alive post intermission too as the script unfolds many gripping twists and turns as expected from a worth watching murder mystery. Plus the usual format of the subject doesn't get monotonous or boring, shifting the suspicion constantly. A song less film as it should ideally be, RAHASYA has an OK background score that could be more exciting as I personally felt, but the cinematography catches the feel of the theme perfectly. Here I would specifically like to mention the way Manish Gupta and his DOP conceive their dark (night) sequences, lighting them brilliantly with a visible distinction if compared to many other films. Interestingly Manish's THE STONEMAN MURDERS also had the same merit, causing a huge difference in the overall impact of the film that had its major part of the story happening in the night only. Kay Kay Menon being there in almost every scene of the film post his introduction, plays the intense lead role superbly (in his full form) along with Ashish Vidyarthi, Tisca Chopra, Meeta Vashisht, Ashwini Kalsekar and Manoj Maurya doing complete justice to their given characters in the script. Particularly it was a relief to watch Ashish Vidyarthi back in a good substantial role after a long gap and nice to see Ramesh Deo too in a cameo. However I wish Ashish and Tisca had more scenes together filling in the emotional depth missing in the film as far as the family conflict is concerned.(Spoilers Ahead) In other words, despite revolving around a young girl's murder in her room possibly committed by the father only, RAHASYA doesn't have that warmth making an instant heartfelt connect with the viewer. It remains a dry 'whodunit' crime thriller mostly that successfully manages to keep you engrossed throughout with some evident loopholes that can easily be caught by any avid fan of crime films or novels. For instance, the flats of any high rise buildings in the metros normally never have a false- flooring with that much space to hide a dead body so easily (for so many days!). Moreover the involvement of Police officer in the case also turns out to be completely unconvincing, hampering its desired impact on the viewer post the climax-revelation.Having said that, RAHASYA still remains a worth watching movie without any doubt, especially if you are a fan of Kay Kay and this interesting genre of 'whodunit' suspense thrillers ending on a shocking note. So do give it a try for sure and don't reveal the secret to anybody else as a responsible movie-goer, keeping their interest alive.
