Rakht Charitra 2
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The film essentially belongs to the action director (Javed-Aejaz), since it is basically a montage of finely-crafted, high-on-adrenalin action sequences.
-
Episode 2 is all that the first one wasn’t. It has a coherent story, it makes an attempt at character development. Actors rise above the stylization and actually put up a good performance
-
...turns out to be a run-of-the-mill movie with revenge and violence as the theme.
-
RGV's intention is not so much to delve into the complexities of Andhra politics, which stay firmly in the backdrop, but to create sequences where death is choreographed in varying ways.
-
...is not a bad film. It's disappointing because it falls in comparison with the first part.
-
...a revenge drama that's not a patch on Varma's earlier works...
-
...is a decent watch thanks to Suriya's performance and the build up to its climax.
-
...an engaging watch despite the predictable plot and is comparatively better than RC-1 as the mindless killing spree is replaced by more calculated plotting and more humane characters.
-
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.
-
...falls way behind expectations and is immensely tiring a drill.
-
Watch this one purely to marvel at how self-obsession and the absence of a script can gut perfectly good performances.
-
More blood and more killings leave you numb your seat.
-
The law of diminishing returns catches up with Ram Gopal Varma's Rakht Charitra 2...
-
RGV's direction is effective but the script lets him down. It lacks the narrative style required, and fails to hold the audience.
-
...a shocking disappointment for people who liked the first film.
-
Regional cinema has its own poetic grammar. It's just distressing to sense, that’s where Varma belongs now.
-
...is only meant for action fans who like senseless violence.
