Raman raghav 2.0- a film based on the serial killer of mumbai who had 41 murders to his name. The title of the film is very well used and to divide the script to 8 parts is also an imtelligent attempt. The actors justify their respective characters. Though I think Vicky Kaushal ( a.k.a Raghav) is pretty novees for this kind of role. Raman ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui) intorduces himself as the predecessor of the serial killer from late 90's. Raman is in search of a man who can take his place. He was very keen to see Raghav killing the person who suddenly visited the cokaine chacha. It is a film where to kill someone does not becomes necessity it just becomes the need. You have to do it. The first half was quite astonishing. The film loses its spot in the 2nd. Mane people may find it obscured as to Raghav taking Raman's place at the end. And also their last conversation in the jail. Well, it is and it isn’t. The latest glittering hybrid of Bollywood kitsch and Hollywood genre grit from distinctive Indian stylist Anurag Kashyap ( “Gangs of Wasseypur”) , this present-day crime melodrama draws extensively on local lore surrounding Raghav in its fictional portrait of an obsessive imitator: Its original title is “Raman Raghav 2.0, ” which risks sending uniformed viewers out in search of a preceding film. As it is, one such vivaciously nasty exercise in urban nihilism is probably enough, though the verve and nerve of Kashyap’s filmmaking continues to excite. Domestic commercial returns for this unabashedly sensation-seeking outing may well be healthy enough to give that possibility a blood-spattered green light, though one hopes Kashyap — whose limber, enthusiastic work here jolts more than it actively surprises — has his eye on fresh genre terrain to exploit.
