Even when you have a thousand pretty ideas to describe something, lack of a good beginning puts it all in vain. I really am out of words to place at the start of this review. Okay, it is a review it has to be like one but OMG this was my first Anurag Kashyap movie ( yes, it was :D) and such an intense one, a totally gut wrenching tale it is. The movie is divided into eight chapters and not one fails to numb your heart, from the start till the end.
RAMAN
The character Ramanna or Raman played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui will make you love him as much as hate him, for doing it so perfectly horrible. I can state him to be a serial killer in very simple words but I won't. When you hear all these stories of killers and murderers, they have some motive, some pattern in their doing but Ramanna is a simple guy, beaten by hunger and poverty since his childhood and diverted on to a path from where there is no coming back. It is not about one's senses which make him question that is this the right thing to do or not but, that unsatiated hunger and unquenched thirst which material things can never account to. For some it is meditation, for some gymming, swimming or any other form of exercise, some fulfill it by indulging in any art form, but for him, it is killing, plain simple killing which completes him. He does not kill for a living, neither for taking revenge nor for getting attention but just for the sake of it, the pleasure of it.
Understanding the science of this character can be a bit tricky but that is the trick, you don't make any effort, let him surprise you, terrorize you by his vicious moves. This film made me regret a little that I should have been a psychology student :p
RAGHAV
ACP Raghavendra Singh, a cop who is addicted to drugs and smoking, confounded by his own lifestyle finds himself struck in a trap of anger and low self-control. This unleashes the beast within him, chained till now by the job he is into. And once this happens, his impulsive nature leads him to kill his girl friend because of a small altercation. This killing follows one more, of a girl who saw him murder her (his gf).What is shocking is that these were not his first two murders, but one more man was killed by him a few years back and that is the point from where on Raman keeps an eye on all of Raghav's activities.
RAMAN RAGHAV
Raman, a psychopath chases ACP Raghav for a reason, because he thinks he is his soulmate, one to find whom his life was destined and upon finding him the purpose has been fulfilled.Where Raman kills for the sheer pleasure of it, Raghav does it out of rage. Overall the story is not for the weak hearted, it is not easy to handle and not everyone can and should watch. The average audience can fail to understand the simple complexity of the nature of the film but it is not their fault. It a typical Anurag Kashyap movie, shot in the slums of Mumbai with the best of the team and it demands your attention and sense to go near to what one can call a basic understanding of the script.
