Satya 2 has the right elements that make a quintessential gangster film.

SATYA-2 may not be RGV's best, but there's no denying that it has the right elements that make a quintessential gangster film. However, the KRRISH-3 wave coupled with the arrival of another Superhero film [THOR: THE DARK WORLD] may affect its business prospects(more)

A new don is born and he vows to reinvent the bloody 'Bang-Bang' business of the underworld.

If you like your 'truth' bloodied, here it goes. This time RGV's newly packaged don is of a different breed, but barely matches the ballsy bhaigiri of the original. Cut back fifteen years - when Ramu on creative Viagra, ripped open Mumbai's ominous crime diaries for cinematic consumption. Tossing us into a dark, sinister world of lawless bhais, bhaus, gangstas and guns. Ever since, he's flaunted his obsession for the inglorious D's and their doomed destinies.(more)

Satya defined a Bollywood genre and earned instant cult following. Fifteen years on, Satya 2 defies all logic.

Pretty much like he had done with his ill-advised remake of Ramesh Sippy�s Sholay, Ram Gopal Varma unabashedly trivialises an idea that had worked famously the first time around, Satya, the ultimate guns-and-gangs sage, was clearly in no need of re-interpretation. So, what on earth was RGV thinking? For all its obvious warts, Satya 2 may not be as insufferable as RGV Ki Aag, but it comes quite close to being a total creative disaster. (more)
