History written in Blood : Raktha - Charithra
22 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
We call him, RGV. This is one of the best and bold attempt though not as successful as Company, still he had handled exceptionally well. He really deserves respect, the way he had presented it. Though story is different, at times reminds us of Satya, Company, Sarkar etc may be because of the Camera Angle, the presentation is similar. RGV, we can feel his passion for film making. Very rarely does in India, somebody comes up with a movie about a Real Life Prominent person, and almost all the time they had given us an above average movie. Eg: Company, Nayagan, Sarkar, Gandhi, Iruvar, Legend of Bhagat Singh etc.. Part 1: The raise of Pratap Ravi is explained at the same time we hear a lot about a person who is the reason behind the fall of Pratap, and here is the lead to the Part 2. Thats a very different Idea and good indeed. - he had given a movie which is not for soft heart, not for kids, not for family and not for masala movie fans.

Minuses: At times, its seems like a Documentary. The story is tolled in the voice of 'RGV' itself, the sound is not catching but 'had shown a very good voice modulation', still should have given to somebody else. The glory of Violence will keep the Family viewers and Kids away from theater. And People who are the fans of movies like Brindavanam, Khaleja is not going to enjoy this movie. The film is exceptionally good to the Targeted viewers and very bad for others.

Overall: The story moves slowly in the first half, you will witness few of the most drastic and terrific scenes in an Indian movie and second is very thrilling, where number murder is reduced and the politics takes the key. The Part 2 is expected to release on 19th Nov, 2010. It shows the director, who want to give the second part before the viewer forget the part 1. You will come of the theater with a feeling as if you had just watched a person's real life very closely.

Point: Vivek Dominates first Part along with Shatrugansinha, Abhimany. And I expect, Part 2 is a Suriya movie with Sudeep. The characters are introduced in the First Part itself, and will see another side of the same story. Very good thinking and direction by Ram Gopal Varma.

Lookout: Post Interval, Scenes between Shatrugansinha and Vivek. Most splendid scene - Suriya's Introduction.

Tagline: Hats of to RGV for his Passion, Sincerity and love for Film Making.
