For fans of the typical K. Madhu - S.N. Swami type of thrillers, 'Rahasya Police' may seem a disappointment, except perhaps for the climax, which has been worked out rather well.


'Rahasya Police' takes us to a little village named Parvathipuram. The police station there is under the control of Sub Inspector Rajan (Jayaram), who lives nearby along with his sister. He has as his assistants head constable Arjunan (Harisri Ashokan) and constable Raveendran (Indrans).


The village often bears witness to clashes and skirmishes between two groups, one led by Kummath Narayana Kaimal (Jagathy Sreekumar) and the other by Parambathu Raju (K.B. Ganesh Kumar), with the police always intervening and putting things under control.


Rajan is a brave and duty-conscious police officer who leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to bring law-breakers to book. One dangerously smart thief is Keshu (Riyaz Khan), whom he arrests, but who later escapes from the lock-up. It's about this time that a girl named Bhadra, who is a friend of Rajan's sister, is found dead under mysterious circumstances.


Narayana Kaimal makes his aide Pushpangadan write a complaint to the police saying that he had seen Parambathu Raju forcefully take away the killed girl in his car, on the very evening that she had gone missing. Rajan is not convinced that Raju is the culprit, but when his superiors ask him to arrest Raju, he does so and begins the investigation in his own style.


In the meantime Chala Mani (Jayaram in a dual role), makes his appearance. Chala Mani is a goon, who along with his two aides (Suraaj Venjaramoodu and Sudheesh) is there reportedly to see Raju is released. It's from here that the story takes off.


Jayaram plays his dual roles in his characteristic style and lends credibility to both the characters, though he is not really comfortable with the cop role. The others in the cast too are not bad, though nobody delivers a performance worth mentioning. None of the female artists have any importance in the film.


There's nothing much to be said about the technical aspects or the music. What is really good about the film is the climax sequence, which is executed deftly, in true S.N. Swami - K. Madhu fashion. But who will sit through the lack luster proceedings of the previous scenes just to watch the climax? 'Rahasya Police' is in fact a half-baked action flick that fails to impress you on the whole, though there are some good scenes.
