Raman Raghav 2.0

This movie is above Bollywood standard. Anurag kashyap,Just Because of this guy,I was sure this movie can not be just ordinary.

Siddiqui is at his best. Vicky also did his job very well. Hope we get to see this guy getting more movies. Other actors also performed well.

The whole movie has been crafted so beautifully. Screenplay,direction,Script everything are in sync. Music is also very good.Transition between scenes could have been improved.but still it is far better than typical Bollywood movies

Hope we get to see these type of movies in Bollywood's as much as possible.

Anurag Kashyap is one of the best director of India. He is often regarded as the face of an emerging new wave cinema for producing numerous independent films with newcomer.

Raman Raghav 2 is a psychological thriller movie. The movie received positive review when premiered at Cannes Film Festival 2016 in Directors' Fortnight section. Outstanding performance by Nawajuddin Siddiqui. He again proved his talent. This is a negative movie without any moral. Great combination of direction and acting and also background music. Police inspector Vicky Kaushal after super performance in Masaan also shows his best. In India people only want Masala Film. They do not habit to watch this type of movie. So they give mix review about this film. So if you want to see Nawajuddin's performance and Anurag Kahyap's direction, don't miss it.

If I were to sum it up; "Raman Raghav 2.0" is nothing but a barefaced character study. Incorporating a Sociopath, a frenzied cop; and their eventual affiliation shaped under distressing circumstances.



Depiction of a devilish killer, an insightful look within his crippled mind is in itself a petrifying thing to tell. With the help of Mr. Kashyap's pronounced finesse and an unerring act by Nawazuddin Siddiqui; Comes out an astute impersonation of a demented murderer.

Vicky Kaushal as the disorganised & drug addict policeman was simply amazing. The limelight might have been on Nawaz; yet Vicky succeeded finding out his own rhythm. This marked as Sobhita Dhulipala's debut feature, and I can definitely apprehend the success she got afterwards in several roles. A hefty praise goes to Anurag for continuously being the torch bearer in introducing promising talents.

Performances are the heart and soul in here alongside a technical prowess commonly showcased in a Kashyap Production! This time, the other aspects failed to accommodate. The storyline seems inchoate, inconsistencies in the writing being the main culprit. There are definite loose ends in the screenplay therefore weakening the core contemplation. Jumping around discrete timelines with advancing chapter sequences; a hard act to follow.

He can certainly do better, as his other stirring works are substantial testimonies to that!

Raman Raghav 2.0 is absolutely brilliant. Nawazuddin Siddiqui brings out his A-game as a creepy and scary psychopath. Both the leads, Nawaz as the unhinged serial killer and Vicky Kaushal as a drug addicted misogynist cop aren't likable and aren't supposed to be. There is no character you can root for but the film manages with great effect for you to root for the story to play out.

This film has incredibly tense scenes crafted fantastically. It feels often like a horror film creating an uneasy feeling of dread as to what will happen. Most of the grotesque violence happens off screen which leaves most of the gory details to our imagination.

The use of seemingly inappropriate music at times works very well. The camera work, editing and screenplay is fantastic. This is one of the best Indian thrillers made. By far my favourite film of 2016.

9/10

When you watch a movie made by a great director or a great actor or actress you get a feeling that is difficult to explain in words. It makes you alive. But then there is a movie like "RAMAN RAGHAV 2.0" which can easily be called as one of the finest movies of Bollywood of all time. Inspired from the life of a serial killer, the film is very intelligently shown from the prospective of an individual who himself is deeply inspired by the acts of Raman Raghav (who killed around 41 people in Mumbai during 1960s to 70s) played brilliantly by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He is so into his character that even you feel scared by the way a psycho killer thinks. Well to say the least, he deserves all the standing ovations, awards and praises for this role. And India is truly blessed to have an actor like him. Vicky Kaushal in the role of the drug- addict policeman is great. Even if it is an out and out Nawazuddin Siddiqui film, he makes his presence felt in many of his scenes which in itself is an achievement considering it is just his third film. Another great thing about the movie is its direction done by our favourite "ANURAG KASHYAP". His direction is such that the film remains with you for quite a long time, actually it changes you and your way of seeing to things. For example, this film will make you afraid of every random guy who gives you a close look or just a look. The director is greatly inspired from "QUENTIN Tarantino" which is seen in his work. To sum up, this film may not earn the money which is expected due to obvious reasons and its violent content and language of course but I am sure it will surely be in your list when you recommend a film to someone. A 10/10 for this film as there are no loopholes in here.
