Satya (1998)
8/10
Chutia!!

Not your typical Bollywood film where two brothers are separated at birth, with one becoming a cop and another a criminal. In fact, it's quite realistic. I haven't seen that many Indian crime films, but from what I've seen this one is the best. Sure, it's depressing and violent. Sure, the characters are ruthless and without any real honor, but that's how the world of crime is.

The Indian mob seems to be going through the same phase as the American Mafia did in the 1950s and 60s, with everyone struggling for more power. Until the law enforcement there becomes immune to things like bribery and corruption, however, this will continue. This movie shows it from both sides quite well.

It also features some of the strongest language I've ever heard in an Indian flick. The title of my comment should give some indication...
