What the critics say

Rautu ka Raaz is a slow-burn whodunit carried by a 'casually brilliant' Siddiqui and strong support, though critics split on whether the clichéd, undercooked script and lack of thrills hold it back.

Summary

Rautu ka Raaz (2024, Hindi) has a Filmi Score of 54 from 4 critic reviews, is rated 16+ by Filmi (CBFC: U/A 16+), and streams on ZEE5 in India.

Rautu ki Beli, an idyllic town in hilly north India, has been virtually crime-free for over 30 years. The inhabitants are bewildered when a school warden is found dead and the police begin investigating – under the leadership of Inspector Negi. Nothing is as easy as it seems when societal stigma, small-town laziness and ‘locals in denial’ get in the way of a seemingly straightforward case.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
