    surpassed sarkar and company

    Last movie of rgv i viewed in a theater was Aag. I have never expected this to b like the way it is. It has no unnecessary scenes no stupid dialogs and every one in the movie has been their best in their roles.... although the best 1 being of Bhukha. There are nice & unexpected scenes in the movie which made the movie more interesting. The first half killed almost 75% of the villains so i thought there would not be much in the second half but vivek transforming into a politician and using white ways to kill the Gundas made the movie 1 of the best 1 for rgv. It contains a lot of Blooody scenes, so i ask them who never liked movies like Saw or Wrong Turn don't go u may not like this one. "Topic is over"

    Epic!!!

    RGV did it again!! Rakht Charitra can be easily mentioned as one of the best of RGV, or even one of the best in the history of 'Dark Cinema'. The direction is top notch, the dialogues are hard-hitting, and the performances are extremely natural and great. Rakht Charitra has all those elements in the right place, to make it a classic. The movie is flawless, fast-paced, and freakingly violent! Yes, the weak-hearted better stay away from this flick!! Rakht Charitra is about an era, where it was believed that 'Revenge is the purest emotion', rather than 'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'. It is about Pratap Ravi, one with a strong heart. After he loses his father and brother in the dirty game of Politics, he decides to take revenge, and the real Rakht Charitra begins. There is a lot of tears in the movie, tears of downtrodden mothers and wives, tears of abused and exploited sisters, but there is even more blood in the movie, which takes the revenge to all the tears shed. But, do not expect a mindless movie with blood only, it has a strong storyline, without which, the movie would have been a forgettable offering from RGV. But this has the story, and is executed extremely well, and it has turned out to be a must watch for people who watch movies with true spirit.

    Vivek Oberoi is in his top-form, he does the role of the lead protagonist Pratap Ravi with ease, he is excellent in his role. Look at his eyes, the way he looks, gazes and stares, you will realize it!! And Abhimanyu Singh, he is damn great!! Excellent acting, it is fact that villains in RGV flicks will be notorious, but this guy is great, he is excellent in his role. Sushant Singh was awesome in his scenes, I had a strong sensation of clapping loudly, while watching him walk in slow motion. Shatrughan Sinha is good, Zarina Wahab, Radhika Apte, Ashwini Kalsekar, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Rajendra Gupta, Anupam Shyam all were good. Sudeep and Darshan Jariwala, I guess is reserved for the 2nd 'Adhyay' of Rakht charitra.

    I really want to point out some scenes that prove the director's excellence, but it may lead to spoilers, so I'm not going to do it now. The only negative I could find is RGV's voice, which lacked high power. However, all I can say is watch the movie, you won't be disappointed. The movie has got the power, it is not just a movie, it is Epic!!!

    Rayalaseema

    1. what can u say when u make a movie on Rayalaseema... the real life is gorier than reel life.. at this place..

    2. voice over... disaster.

    3. BUKKA REDDY... name fantastic...character amazing... acting... deadly..

    4. death of BUKKA in the movie... too funny and feeble...actually.. considering the man was so deadly in real and reel life....some electrician killing BUKKA AKA OBUL is a joke... should have had VIVEK trying his best to kill him.... huge mistake...

    5. SHIVAJI... too sensitive a topic to even touch.. this is NTR we are talking about...

    6. NAGAMANI's REDDY's right hand... DURGA... future RAMU product in the making... is superb... should have had a deadlier death than was portrayed...

    7. even in the Hindi version...they should had some TELUGU phrases.. to make it sound more real... missed the ANDHRA accent all together...

    8. verdict: 1000 times better than the **SHIT** BOLLYWOOD makes about BALTIS and tears and BAILAS...

    cheers,

    Vengeance has a new name: Rakhtcharitra: RGV & Vivek have done it again.

    First of all if u don't like movies having blood defying action, then this one is not your flick.

    For all those action lover guys, Rakhtcharitra is one of the best action movie in 2010. Based on the true events of AP, the movie never disappoints due to the marvelous action and acting of the stars.

    Vivek is kind of actor which has specialized himself in Gangster kind of roles. Raghu of company, Mayabhai of Company and now Pratap of Rakhtcharitra. He has portrayed the character of Pratap with an ease and never let you down.

    But the surprise act was from Abhimanyu singh (Bukka Reddy). He has proved his acting skills in Gulaal, but he still needed a big one to solidify him self. And he come with Bukka reddy: A character which reminds you of a Rakshash. He has snatched this movie from all other actors. You must watch this for Abhimanyu Singh.

    And lastly the King of Dark movies in India: Ram Gopal Verma. He always make good movies pertaining to Politics, Gangster and Horror. He is the Quentin Torrentino of Indian Cinema. Great work by him behind the scene, which makes this movie a delight for eye.

    For action lovers: Strongly recommended.

    A must watch if you are...

    The movie was an interesting watch. The first time ever, I came to know about we having this movie on earth was at 1.30 pm last Thursday, the day on which it was getting released here at Dubai. Without doubt & without wasting any further time I bought two tickets for the 8.00 pm show, with an expectation of starting our weekend on a good note. Was I disappointed? Far from it. I was thrilled to see an original, strong, inspiring, thought provoking movie, which connected with me immensely.

    There are many positives about this movie which far outweighs negatives if any. The movie has got strong characters. The hero is a hero in true sense: He has character (going to the girl's college and bringing her home as his life partner without wasting any time), fearlessness (choosing revenge as his personal duty), belief (declaring and deciding to kill enemies one by one instead of all at once) to name a few.

    For those who opine that the movie is too violent: After watching the movie, I done my research on the central characters in real life. The reality it seems was no less violent than what is shown in the movie. The movie is a masterpiece. But I won't be too pleased if other movie makes imitate to make such movies lest it can have a negative influence on the immature. A must watch if you are a strong man at heart.
