Story:- Satya( J D
Chakravarthy ) comes to Mumbai to find the Job. After looking for a while
in the unknown city he joins as a waiter in the dance bar. During the duty, he
meets some local goons attack him for some of the minor reasons. This leads a
tit for a tat fight between Satya and local goons Pakya ( Sushant Singh). This makes
Satya's life much miserable which leads him to the jail. Inside the Jail, he
meets the Bhiku Mhatre (Manoj Vajpayee). Satya and Mhatre fight with each other
inside the jail. Mhatre provokes Satya inside the jail. Being impressed with
the strength and the attitude of Satya, Bhiku Mhatre arranges a Lawyer to release
him from the jail. They both come out of jail and they form their independent
criminal gang and they start their activities. These activities keep on going
and it ends further in an ugly way.
Satya is one of the best
cinema in the crime genre by the Ramgopal Varma. The 1992-1996 year was the time when Mumbai was flooded with criminal killings, criminal gangs and shooting activities. Beginning of Satya
was much interesting. At a certain time when RGV was sitting with one of the
producers in the office some morning in Mumbai. He heard the real shoot of
the Gulshan Kumar done in the Mumbai. This incident had shocked the entire film
Industry. But this didn’t shock the RGV. This incident triggered his creative
mind which later resulted in the birth of Satya.
The film is been shot in a
very different manner. RGV trusted his instincts and his actor's instinct and shooting
continued. Many of the scenes were not even written fully but they were
shot on the intensity and flow of the
acting of the actors. In some scenes, Ramgopal Varma forgot to say the cut in
which actors improved the scenes and dialogues which even were not included in
the script. Many incidents in the movie are based on real criminals life.
RGV also says that we cannot predict who is the criminal man in our daily life.
He could be a norman guy or he could be some other.
Location on which the
scenes were been shot adds much more USP to the story. The Chaupati, Chall and the monsoon season of the
Mumbai.
Each character is
strongly written by the writers Anurag Kashyap and Saurabh Shukla. Cold-blooded
Satya; Spontaneous Bhiku Mhatre and the man who pretends to be someone and who
is someone Kallu Mama is based on the
real-life incidents of RGV.
Music in the movie is
again a masterpiece. Even in some scenes, we feel the criminal feeling in the background music.
The songs “ Goli Maar Bheje me” tells the way of celebration of the criminals.
The other song “ Pani” shows the real monsoon reason from Mumbai City.
Speaking about the
characters all the characters are the best along with the director and the
writer.
