It lashes at all the trappings of
civilization, leaving a man, raw and bleeding - a victim
of his actions.
The film is the story of Satya
(Chakravarthy), who choses a dream to Mumbai and ends up
in the underworld. Predictable huh! But not so
predictable is the course the film takes. It pens the
life of a man who barely speaks and struggles to even
feel. It tells the story of men for whom killing is just
another job. It throws light for an instant on a world
that is dark, focusing as it does on the murky depths
that are in us all - perhaps more apparent in some.
But then comes the human side of these
creatures of the night. A girl walks into Satya's life
and shows him a world that's softer, a world that has
love and the light of hope - It shows the helplessness of
a police commissioner in tackling the relentless
onslaught of crime. It shows the camaraderie existing
between friends locked in a daily tussle with death.
The film ends as it begins - violently. In
the process it leaves the viewer shaken, forced to face a
truth he rather not. He leaves the theatre, not with an
inane smile, but in thought. Perhaps this is what the
director, Ram Gopal Verma intended.
