Satya is the epitome of gangster films in India, and I sincerely believe that is a huge responsibility to undertake, when Bollywood really struggles to justify the genre, and realistic films in general.
The characters and the emotions that they display are so raw and realistic that it gets scary for us to assume what happens next, and it's really a treat to understand a logical perspective over all the happenings by Satya. Manoj Bajpayee and JD have literally taken their roles to the next level, along with Saurabh Shukla and Shefali shah.
Now, in the end, to think that this was the situation in Mumbai for quite some years in the late 20th century is really scary again. This was what used to happen for real, people were dying for no reason and Police infrastructure was really tasted just gives the real context to all the events, including the completion of the cycle where gangsters die just for some moments of luxury and freedom. The probabilities in such a profession are stacked against you, and that is shown beautifully.
All in all, it was a lesson, it was everything good cinema is meant to be. And it should rank with Gangs of Wasseypur as the best gangster flick in India.
