Psycho Saiyaan disappoints with a muddled script, weak pacing and forced twists. Despite sincere performances by Tejasswi Prakash, Anud Singh Dhaka and Ravi Kishan, the psychological thriller lacks tension and coherence, resulting in a disjointed and underwhelming viewing experience.

Psycho Saiyaan arrives with promise, a psychological thriller starring Tejasswi Prakash, Anud Singh Dhaka and Ravi Kishan, and a premise that hints at mystery and emotional complexity. Unfortunately, what unfolds is a frustratingly uneven film that struggles to keep its audience engaged, leaving more questions about its execution than its story.

All about Pyscho Saiyaan's plotline


Right from the beginning, Psycho Saiyaan wrestles with its own identity. The narrative attempts to balance psychological intrigue with mainstream dramatics, but ends up satisfying neither. The writing feels muddled and cluttered, with twists that seem forced rather than earned. Instead of building genuine suspense, the film leans on predictable turns and tired tropes that do little to elevate the viewing experience.



Tejasswi Prakash, despite her efforts, is let down by a script that underutilises her talent. While she delivers earnest moments as the female lead, the character feels one dimensional, leaving little room for emotional depth or development. Similarly, Ravi Kishan’s performance, though intense at times, is weighed down by a screenplay that lacks focus and clarity. Both actors appear constrained by writing that fails to give them enough to truly shine. Anud Singh Dhaka fails to give the hero vibe with his character Kartik. The actor looks more confused than psychotic as his character sketch defines.

What didn't work for the show?

Another major downfall of Psycho Saiyaan lies in its pacing. Instead of building tension step by step, the film jumps between scenes with awkward transitions, robbing key moments of impact. What should feel like escalating suspense often feels like rushed confusion, leaving viewers detached rather than intrigued. The narrative attempts to juggle too many elements, including backstory, psychological tension, and surprise twists, without ever tying them together convincingly.

The thriller genre thrives on sharp writing and tight plotting, but here both are conspicuously missing. The film’s attempt to be clever often comes off as contrived, with revelations that feel more like clichés than surprises. At times, scenes are stretched unnecessarily, weakening rather than strengthening the mood.

In the end, Psycho Saiyaan is a missed opportunity. A taut psychological drama needs a taut script, but this film delivers neither tension nor coherence. For viewers hoping for an engaging thriller, what they will find instead is a disjointed and disappointing watch.  A muddled narrative and underwhelming execution make Psycho Saiyaan a forgettable thriller despite its promising cast.
