Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

sid-coolking Acting, Direction and dialogues were the highlight of the movie and bloodshed in the movie was too much. Reminded me of Gangs of Wasseypur and it's at the same level with this one...Those who saw Abhimanyu Singh's Gulaal will be in a shock to see him in this one as he is menacing and scary as the villain Buka Reddy...Vivek Oberoi underplayed his role and he deserved an award for this alongside reminded me of his own debut Company...It's a film not for faint hearted and require a lot of patience to watch...Those who were able to go through Gangaajal and Gangs of Wasseypur will love this otherwise give it a miss if u weren't able to tolerate the above films...Action lovers will enjoy it and for them it's a highly recommended movie...

Chirag M Shah Ram Gopal Verma is back in good form...Well, kind of... This movie isn't in the league of Satya and Company, however it is much better than his recent films. To some extent, he is back! There are quite a few sequences in the film that work quite well. It's a nice story about REVENGE.What works in the film. Well, after the first 15-20 minutes, it is quite clear what the protagonist plans on doing. His father and brother are killed. He and his mother lose two family members and now it is up to him to set things right! One murder takes place after another, in a very chilling and gripping manner. That's what works! It is exciting to see the villains get murdered and we are with the protagonist throughout the film. The death of the main antagonist, BUKKA REDDY, is especially excited....I would recommend this film for RGV fans. This is better than his other recent films (Rann, Phoonk 1 and 2, Shiva, AAG, etc)...

pratip-apz Ram Gopal Varma has given Bollywood some of it's most famous movies. But may be he has given all he had, because in Rakht Charitra I he tries to stuff in all the elements he ever had in his kitty. What new he adds to it is sheer loudness. A grumpy,irritating voice-over unnecessarily explaining what we could otherwise easily see with our eyes and make out leaves not much for the audience to do - treating them like school children being dramatically read out a history lesson in class. And the overtly loud background music, with repeated,unnecessary,harsh chantings(whose meaning we couldn't often make out) tries to keep the audience engrossed in their 'lesson' and never miss the feel - but it fails miserably as it sounds simply ridiculous at times and doesn't go with the pace of the film. May be RGV was too afraid that his audience would not be able to relate to his story, like they couldn't in Agyat,Aag,Darling,Nishabd etc.The director overdoes with some of his poor clichés which he should have done away with by this time, like trying to involve the family a bit too much and not transforming characters well with time. Women readying breakfast on the table while serious matters are dealt with a few hands away; the maid cleaning a candle-stand while state-level politics is being discussed in the room and with a transformed Vivek Oberoi his aides' wardrobes remain pretty much the same as before. Similar things we have seen and spared in hits like Company and Satya - but we expect the director not to repeat them emphatically, which he does here! May be all these to hide the bit jumbled up script.In terms of acting is where the film does best - with a host of talented actors(a few too many, one may think) with bits of parts to play. Vivek has a little lesser screen-presence to my liking and does look a touch confused n shaky with his characterization right from his first scene where he strolls a scooter down the neighbourhood.(not a grand entry) But he does well to get into his character as the film progresses. And the topsy-turvy transformation journey he is set into is handled efficiently, showing glimpses of his earlier brilliance in the dying scenes of the film. May be RGV could have left a bit more on his shoulders since he is supposed to be the central character - hopefully we will see more of him in the 2nd part. Shatrughan Sinha is provided with the bulk of the smart dialogues which he does justice to. But the show is stolen by badman Abhimanyu Singh who gets lots of screen presence and intrigues some real fear in this otherwise hyped-to-be- violent movie. Almost all the violence is left to him alone and will be missed in the 2nd part. Radhika Apte and Subroto Sen deserve mention for their expressive characterization! The kind of violence didn't intrigue the nausea I had prepared for(prepared for a lot) but it's the music and voice-over which does the job instead! The Telegu version I guess is a better watch with a more suiting screenplay and better dialogues(don't know about the voice-over?)Better can be expected of the 2nd part.

Deepak D RGV has done it again and it is a complete Varma's movie. It is no less than a movie that remains forever. Story narration by RGV in Telugu is apt for the genre of the movie that he selected. Story goes as it is supposed to go with no flaw in any corner of the movie. Varma did a great job in selecting appropriate characters for the roles. Vivek was stunning in the role as Paritala Ravi. Portrayal of characters with no compromise is what every director has to learn from RGV. Am eagerly waiting for its sequel to release which is going to hit screens on 19th Nov. There would not be any look back in going to movie on first day even for its sequel (Rakta Charitra 2).
