Directed by Ram Kumar of Mundaasupatti fame, Ratsasan is about the hunt for a cold-blooded serial killer. IndiaToday.in reviewer Kirubhakar Purushothaman called Ratsasan a well-thought-out crime thriller. He wrote, "There are some streaks of greatness in Ratsasan. Director Ram Kumar has attempted to create a legendary villain character. He wants this character to be spoken about in years to come. He succeeds partially. There are genuinely scary moments in the film, like the one scene which pays a tribute to The Shining. Ratsasan is a carefully-written film, with a lot of efforts made to make it lucid. Ram is also aware that he should not spoon-feed content to the audience. So, he strikes some balance in subtly churning out information and respecting the audience's collective IQ."
