Ram Gopal Varma is known for his gangster movies in the past. Especially
with his ground-breaking 1998 crime thriller Satya, the filmmaker has
bagged six Filmfare and four Star Screen awards, besides setting a new
trend in the genre. The movie, which narrated the life of the underworld
mafia Satya, was applauded for its detailing and execution. After 15
years, RGV describes the future course of underworld in Satya 2 starring
Sharwanand and Anaika Soti in leads, but he falters this time.
The movie Satya 2 which is a sequel to Satya, does not match the first
film. Sharwanand's performance is the main highlight in the movie.
Interesting script and dialogues, Vikash Saraf's cinematography, Amar
Mohile-Kary Arora's background score, well-choreographed action and
stunts and a few technical stuffs are other big attractions in the film.
But the big drawbacks of the movie are the slow-paced narration and
uninteresting soundtracks.
It should be said here that most of RGV's gangster movies had same
formula in terms of its story, whereas Satya 2 breathes some amount of
freshness in this regard. Radhika Anand, who has written the story for
the film, seems to have drawn inspiration from Mahesh Babu's Telugu film
The Businessman and Upendra's Kannada film Super in parts. But she has
tried her best to bring originality in the script. She has tried to
narrate the current crime scenario in a different angle.

The underworld don in Satya 2 is not like the old ones. He is much more
educated and unlike others, he consciously makes an entry into the mafia
world. He has acquired lot of knowledge through research and study of
mistakes made by all previous underworld dons. He starts a new
underworld company that operates just like any corporate organisation.
He also develops ways to deal with the modern day policing methods.
