RUKH - Pretty slow, unexciting but an intense, performance oriented thriller with an emotional twist. (Review by Bobby Sing)

RUKH actually made be sad, as this certainly could have been such an exciting thriller with the entire investigations moving on one track and the suspense coming out to be completely different with a touching emotional twist making a solid impact. 

But unfortunately the film doesn’t come up with any such exciting execution and probably was made by the talented debut director Atanu Mukherjee with a fixed mindset of presenting it as an off-beat, festival friendly film for his own reasons. As a result, what we get to see is an extremely slow paced investigative thriller that actually doesn’t follow the very first requisite of the genre to be brutally honest. May be that is the reason it was promoted as a ‘journey of a son’ instead of a thriller, with a title like RUKH, meaning ‘a perspective’. However, even if the director wished to present it as a realistic family drama fighting with the inner demons, the film never turns out be as powerful as it should have been making a solid impact on the viewers.
