Story,screenplay,dialogues : S.N.Swami
Review by : Unni

K.Madhu’s latest offering ‘Rahasya Police’ doesn’t come up to your expectations, especially expectations about a K.Madhu brand of thriller. The climax of course has been worked out in true K.Madhu style, but the film as a whole won’t impress you. There are a lot of flaws that mar the totality of the film. ‘Rahasya Police’ takes us to a village where there is a small police station. It’s here that our hero, S.I Rajan (Jayaram) works, assisted by constables including Arjunan (Harisree Ashokan), Raveendran (Indrans) etc. Things take off after Bhadra, who is a friend to Rajan’s sister Manikutty, is found dead. Parambaththu Raju (Ganesh Kumar), who is a neighbour to Bhadra and whose sister too is Bhadra’s friend, is arrested on charges of murdering Bhadra. Rajan begins his investigation. And then pops in Chala Mani (Jayaram), a look alike of Rajan, who is a goon and who wants to get Raju out of bars. The film then picks up momentum.

Performances

Jayaram does the dual roles in his characteristic style, but of course at places his performance, especially as the cop, misses the mark and doesn’t impress us. Jagathy Sreekumar, Indrans, Harisree Ashokan, Suraaj Venjaramoodu, Riyaz Khan, Mala Aravindan etc have done their respective characters in their respective styles. Nothing outstanding to mention at all about these artists. Samvritha Sunil has nothing to do at all.

Technical aspects

The cinematography (Venugopalan), the editing (P.C.Mohanan) and the art-direction (Sajith Highness) are in tune with the mood of the film and seems to be average on the whole.

Music

The background score by Rajamani syncs well with the tune and is typical of Rajamani.

Script

The script by S.N.Swami, who has scripted many taut thrillers teaming up with K.Madhu, is not up to the mark this time. He has worked out the climax excellently well, but many scenes in the first half seem to test your patience, especially if you expect to see a K.Madhu-S.N.Swami brand of thriller. The result is that the film doesn’t impress you on the whole though there are portions, especially towards the end, that hold your attention.

Direction

K.Madhu seems to have done ‘Rahasya Police’ with a detached mentality. The film lacks those many ingredients that a K.Madhu film is supposed to have, though there are scenes that are conceived and executed in true K.Madhu fashion. But such scenes are few and the film fails to impress you on the whole.

Overall verdict- Just so so.

Gopika is pregnant in Dileep's new film Swa Le (Swantham Lekhakan), directed by cameraman turned director P.Sukumar.

Gopika plays the role of Dileep a journalist's wife in the film.

Gopika says: It was my husband Akhilesh who after hearing the story of Swa Le, asked me to do the film. I have given 15 days for the film which should be completed by July 15. I have to go back to Ireland to celebrate my first Wedding Anniversary for which my husband has made elaborate preparations.

On asked whether she will be doing any more films in Malayalam and Tamil, Gopika said: Not immediately. But if the right script comes around and if all goes well, may do another film
