There are a couple of things that you should know before you take the plunge for Ram Gopal Varma's latest directorial venture Satya 2:
1. Black Kites fly everywhere in Mumbai, following everyone and seem to screech a lot. Also, the film maker might have found his new muse in them.
2. Village girls have gigantic eyes and supremely pout-y lips which they use to express their naivety every time they see big-city things.
3. Company is not an entity. In fact, "Company ek soch hai".
In memory of the miracle that happened 15 years ago, in 1998, RGV has probably named his new film Satya 2 for good luck; because Satya and Satya 2 had nothing in common but for the fact in both films a stranger known only as Satya arrives in the city and begins to make his place in the underworld.
Satya (Puneet Singh Ratn) is a sharp man with no past and a messiah syndrome. He comes to Mumbai to start his company - an organisation so secret and so meticulously planned that no one can penetrate it. But the police are hot on his trail and the underworld saga begins again (and trust me, 10 minutes into the film and you're wondering when it will end).
The debutant actor lacks screen presence. He looks the part until he opens his mouth and it all comes crashing down. Satya's lady love, Chitra (Anaika Soti) is not only a bad actress but also seems like she has seriously bone-formation issues when she attempts to dance (which she does a lot). Their third wheel and Satya's best buddy Nara follows closely in their footsteps.
However, Aradhna Gupta, who play's Nara's girlfriend and aspiring actress called Special (yes, that's right, Special) does a fairly decent job, compared to other members of the cast.
But the true gem in this
