Akshay Kumar and Rakul Preet Singh starrer ‘Cuttputlli’ which was recently released is Bollywood’s new drama thriller.
Directed by Ranjit Tewari, the movie is a remake of a 2018 Tamil-language movie called Ratsasan. Many say ‘Cuttputlli’ is a stereotypical Bollywood film with oddly placed humor, a hip dance sequence, and a masculine hero figure who single-handedly solves the case.
Plot
The main plot of the movie revolves around a brand new police inspector Arjan Sethi, played by Akshay Kumar who also happens to be an expert on serial killers, as he, well, hunts down a serial killer who targeted teenage schoolgirls and left decapitated doll heads as their signature.
Word ‘Cuttputlli’
In Hindi, Cuttputlli means puppet, and it’s a reference to the killer’s signature habit of leaving dolls behind after each kidnapping.
