Excellent Movie. Everybody acted well in the movie. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. The movie was not boring or lagging. Excellent Movie.
There are many positives going for this movie. The story is true to its land, the acting is great, no commercial elements so on paper everything seems to be right.
But when you stretch a small story for more than 2 hours then it becomes a big bore. RGV could have easily put both the movie parts together in 1 piece and that would have made it a great watch.
Many scenes move in slow motion. The technique works at the start but then you see too many scenes following the pattern that it tires you, especially in the end.
I would still give this 7/10 since the movie tells an important story something which is still not very well understood by many.

After 'Rakhta Charitra', Ram Gopal Verma attempted to follow it up with this sequel. Now 'Rakhta Charitra' certainly isn't among the director's best but it had modest execution, strong performances, the characters were interesting and it was a decent watch overall. In contrast, 'Rakhta Charitra 2' is quite a disaster.The violence here is less graphic than its predecessor but the film is quite poor. Now, as evident from his more recent films. Verma seems to enjoy playing around with the camera but what's with the upside-down or rotation shots? Another thing he really overdoes here is the slow motion which really dragged on and on, Perhaps Verma felt pressured to make it longer. The story itself isn't particularly interesting (it's more the typical revenge thriller genre) and the characters are one-dimensional. Vivek Oberoi once again breathes fire with an excellent performance as Paritala Ravi. Surya is alright. Radhika Apte has a smaller role than in the first one but here she gets more scope to perform. The rest of the cast that includes Shatrughan Sinha and Zarina Wahab are wasted.
Overall this is a poor movie that does not live up to expectations and is not even half as entertaining as its predecessors.

Director Ram Gopal Varma continues the revenge saga that he started with the first film, which released in October.
In case you missed it, Varma begins with approximately 25 minutes of footage from the first film to bring you up to speed. In the starting sequence of the movie most people thought that Rakta Charitra 1 was playing by mistake.Clearly Varma doesn't believe in montage.
The films are loosely based on the life of Paritala Ravindra, a political leader from Andhra Pradesh. While the first part focused on the rise of Pratap, played by Vivek Oberoi, the second focuses on how his arch-enemy Surya, played by South star Suriya, takes revenge.
It's a high decibel, heavy-handed saga of killing and counter-killing without a break or even a larger point.
Though Varma does tell us at the end that the film demonstrates the futility of violence - a noble sentiment, which is not unlike preaching abstinence at the end of a porn film. Because for over two hours Varma explores the myriad ways of inflicting violence– so heads are crushed, limbs are severed, families are bombed and bullets pierce bodies without a pause.
This is Varma's gritty universe, in which all the men make cryptic pronouncements and smoke and stride in slow motion. And just in case you still don't get it, the bombastic soundtrack underlines every emotion.
Rakta Charitra 1 had an urgency that kept the narrative moving despite the clumsy voice-over and mind-numbing violence. The sequel has some powerful scenes but lacks cohesion. In places, the scenes seem stitched together quite randomly. Oberoi, who was so much more effective in the first, mostly flares his nostrils and looks grim.
But Suriya saves the film from being a total loss. His expressive eyes have a quiet strength and his presence sears the screen.
On the whole, RAKHT CHARITRA is not for the faint-hearted or the lily-liveried. The violence, the blood and gore depicted in the film will shock and disconcert you, which only goes to establish as to how proficiently the subject material has been treated. The film is targeted mainly at those who love to watch aggression, violence, bloodshed, brutality and massacre on the silver screen, but a chunk of the movie-going audience (ladies and kids) will choose to stay away from this scene of carnage.
Will someone please find him a better Bollywood script?

Raktha Charithra-2 is based on a true story. There are many positive elements in this movie like Acting, especially Surya Sivakumar i can't write down this by not preferring him. Outstanding performance .. Also Vivek, he also done very well, Actresses also keep their stand of acting. next is Technical side, all technical elements are good, cinematography, editing, sound design are very good. while we watching the movie we feel that we are watching it as real, thats the brilliance of RGV. Slow motion scenes were taken very well. by watching this movie we can conclude that RC-2 is a good movie but not for sensitive hearts. i will give 8/10 rating to this movie.
