Raman Raghav 2.0
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...is layered, gripping from the word go, unnerving and, in a twisted way, hugely entertaining.
-
...is another triumph for Anurag Kashyap
-
Anurag Kashyap is back where he belongs and there is nothing remotely velvety in the director's felicitous return to his creative comfort zone.
-
Those looking for a dark, de noire, and grisly time on screen with a twist in inhumanity powered by Nawazuddin Siddiqui's topnotch performance.
-
...is as unpleasant as it is gleefully amoral and perversely enjoyable.
-
No Bollywood-style revenge or anger, just pure sadism.
-
...it can only be enjoyed if you can accept misogyny, death and gore as integral parts of reality. Otherwise, this movie can be quite the nerve-wracking experience.
-
...is a taut thriller, full of energy and brimming over with tension.
-
Don't miss this scary and unapologetically sadistic movie where Nawaz is at his creepiest best.
-
For director Anurag Kashyap, this film falls into a comfort zone that he thrives on with devilish delight.
-
A creepy crawl under your skin that goes away because it tries to stay for too long.
-
Anurag Kashyap delivers a gritty, grimy, gut-wrenching story of opposites in order to tell you that they're not really so.
-
It is dark, very dark and deprived of even a shred of dignity. It makes you feel nauseated at the shocking spread of depravity served to you. But then again, it is unique storytelling.
-
It's consistently engaging, but doesn't get under your skin like some of Kashyap's other films...
-
A welcome almost-return to form.
-
...promises to be an edgy thriller, the film fails to deliver.
-
The biggest problem with Raman Raghav 2.0 is that it glorifies the gore.
-
There is real good cinema in that scene towards the end of the film, and also a reminder that Kashyap has a lot of talent. He just needs to stop making films that are very similar.
-
...might lack the layers needed to be a contemporary update of the serial killer movie, but it has plenty of surface pleasures.
-
It does boast of a good starcast, a solid story line but somehow, Kashyap’s signature style of filmmaking is visible only in parts.
-
The greatest thing that can be said about Raman Raghav 2.0 is that it is not a meaningless exercise in blood and violence. It is well thought out and has some great performances. But it also feels like it could have been fleshed out better.
-
There are some mesmeric bits in here, which belong to Siddiqui. But those are not enough. Without those crucial elements, the film is rendered atmospheric yet hollow...
-
...director Anurag Kashyap tries hard to impress by showing a blood bath and scary facial expressions of psychopath Raman, but it is disheartening to see the film with no purpose.
-
...it’s a difficult film to watch, not entertaining or edifying in any way.
