A film like Satya so authentic, yet highly dramatic is extremely rare. Anybody with a penchant for realistic action movies will surely fall for this movie. The most unique aspect of the movie is the objective, neutral portrayal of the characters, not making them typical bollywood hero/ villain caricatures. Manoj Bajpayee's humane gangster act is definitely the show stealer among some amazing performances by JD Chakravarty, Shefali Shah and Saurabh Shukla. Also, Mumbai has never been captured with such raw and rustic elegance as in Satya. 80s and 90s Mumbai kids will surely get nostalgic on revisiting the movie. A special mention to BGM, which compels the viewer to pay attention and is sufficiently loud to convey the importance of soulful moments of the movie. Only drawback remains the untimely songs, which can be excused considering the fact that the time when this movie was made it was inconceivable to have a mainstream movie without songs. All the aspiring movie makers need to watch this legendary, once in a lifetime movie that created such magic on screen especially considering that the maker RGV's present work reeks of self indulgence. All in all, 10 on 10 and my personal favorite.

Satya is one of a kind Indian movies, it out-stands from usually colorful bollywood movies. Ram Gopal Varma, one of the premier directors in India proved himself as a master of movie making one more time. Makes the audience to stand still watching the silver screen, every frame every scene, intense music, realistic gestures, every aspect of this movie is amazing. No one can watch this movie for one time. movie shows the wildest side of Mumbai gangs, where some of the scenes are actually taken from real life incidents. Movie looks simple and realistic in each and every frame............. .................. ......................... ................... .................. .................. .................. ................... ............................ .................... ................... ................... ................... ......... ............... ................

Satya, Starring J.D.Chakravarthy and Urmila is master piece gangster movie from the director Ram Gopal Varma.With compelling music and a superb cinematography this can be said as the best crime film ever from India and also it can be cited as Ram Gopal Verma's best movie ever.The music needs a special mention, it is only after this movie Sandeep Chowtha became a phenomenon in the film industry.It has scenes so gripping, that for two hours you forget the surroundings you are in. Everyone does a good job and it can be easily said it is the Departed and Godfather for Indian cinema!

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 !
