Review of Satya

Satya (1998)
10/10
Best Crime Movie in Indian Cinema History
12 March 2008
Now folks .... This is the best crime movie ever made in Indian Cinema. The film is so mature, so aggressive. Ram Gopal Verma is a real matured, brainy director. Besides that, credit also goes to the writing duo Anurag & Saurabh shukla. The writing, screenplay, background music, editing, cinematography are just amazing. And above all .... Manoj Bajpai comes as a storm !!!!!! He has literally lived the life of Bhiku. Stunning performance. Saute to this great actor. Mumbai(formarly Bombay) is the centre of most of the underworld activities. And this city remains on top in such crimes for obvious reason ---- the money. Being the financial hub of Indian subcontinent, this city em-brasses the biggest names in underworld. Many characters in this movie are based on real-life persons. For example Inspector Khandilkar. This guy is encounter specialist. This character is based on one famous ACP in Mumbai Police. And then bhiku, his wife, DCP, bhau thakur etc. all these are closely similar to real people. As a Bombayite, I have been hearing & reading about these people since childhood. This is a story of a newcomer in underworld, his progress in the criminal world, his brains, his awesome decisions at crisis times, his fellow criminals, his rivals/friends, his race against time, and finally his downfall. The story moves so well. Its like all is happening in ur neighborhood. and so well picturized. I can tell at least 25 scenes which are one of the best-shot-scenes of all time...like for example the theatre scene, or death of guru, or death of bhiku, Satya's first ever crime, police encounter sequence, murder of DCP and so on & on & on. There are so many unforgatable scenes. I have seen this movie 13 times. And will keep on watching again & again. Its a sheer joy. Highly recommended. 10/10. Ram Gopal Verma is a genius !
