Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

ashdoc53 Welcome to the world of superviolence .........courtesy the greatest exponent of it ,Ram Gopal verma........As the name suggests , this film is not for sissys ,kids or vegetarians........ ........And Ram Gopal Verma himself has gone on record to say that ,as far as this film is concerned ,women should stay at home.......That explains why the theater was 2/3 rd empty.....on the second day itself....Because the audience has been cut down to only males ,that too the non- veg eating ,blood and gore loving types......And what a feast for them !!Rivers of blood flow ,enough to make a vampire overnourished for weeks.......Women are abducted , literally in broad daylight ,and raped like whores.......Boulders are smashed on peoples heads ,and other innovative methods of killing people like boring holes through their skulls are invented......The place seems to be alive with rifles ,knives ,pistols ,koytas,and other such weapons.......And masterminding all the mayhem is Nagamani Reddy ( played by Abhimanyu Singh ) ,the villain of the film......His performance is the stellar performance of the film ,what holds the film together...............For he plays with with absolute perfection , the role of a sadistic ,savage ,absolute brutal despot of a small town ,with animal- like instincts ,that too the carnivore type............The small town is Anantpur in Andra Pradesh , and the film is based on a true enemity.........Which means that such a person really existed !!And who's his enemy ??......Vivek Oberoi ,who else ,who also has to murder and kill in equal measure........And he does that with determination and skill........a good acting performance from him too........ Shatrughan Sinha does a brave effort to fit into the mighty shoes of N T Rama Rao.........but only a Telgu can tell if he succeeds........And what a Telgu can enlighten us is also about the real-life happenings in Anantpur in the past........since they were considered worth making a film on them......Verdict--not bad , if barbaric violence is your cup of tea......

nabiabhinav One word to describe Rakht Charitra is "Revenge." There are many movies which fall under the genre of revenge drama. But never before has come a movie which shows revenge as it should be. The villains are so ruthless that the audience too join in the fight with the hero to take revenge on them. The story is not new or path-breaking.Nor the Director intended it to be one. But the treatment, the scenes, the background score, the direction, the acting( Vivek Oberoi is Brilliant and Abhimaniyu Singh is Outstanding) take this movie to another level. The end credits make the viewers long for the Second part. For the first time a movie has come which can truly be called a "Guy movie." So ladies, please stay away and wait for Karan Johar's next. And Guys- Don't miss it, it tests your masculinity.

CastleToe Message on the first screen: Characters and story are fictitious. No resemblance to reality.Message on the second screen: Based on a True Story.A "controversial" film??A man is chased by knifing-gangsters and his blood is splashed across a Gandhi statue.A cranky old voice introduces this bloody story about Anandpur(I heard it was director RGV himself whose voice was modulated!). Possibly RGV was impressed with the voice to such an extent that he chose to irritatingly play around with the narrative voice which spoils any impact you think the movie could have had.A political rift resulting in the murder of a scheduled caste(*beeped* by Indian censors) leader sets off this revenge saga. The revenge seeking elder son(Sushant Singh) is murdered too, forcing the younger son(Viveik Oberoi as Pratap Ravi) to place himself in Michael Corleone's shoes. An eye for an eye and the enemies bleed. Folks are slaughtered & smashed, blood banks are robbed of their capital...Editing and a Splash sound does the job. Camera rotates a full 360 degree or is found behind a cart wheel or in some bushes near the steps. The voice cranks along...Pratap succeeds in reaching the top of the hooligan-ladder and warns other hooligans of the state to stop their illicit activities. The movie ends with a trailer of the sequel(which didn't release on the promised date) which promises a tiff between Pratap & Suryabhan Reddy(marking the Hindi debut of Tamil actor Surya).The loud background score & the lyrics succeed in charging up the intensity of action sequences(A wedding song with a dancing Sukhwinder Singh was not needed, but didn't mar the overall movie-feel). On the editing & camera-work, the least said, the better. It wasn't bad or good. It was an attempt, a different one. Close-up shots of gangster stubbles and nostril-hairs, 360 degree turns, shaky handwork during intense scenes, shadow-filming... How effective, I cannot say. The cinematography was convincing enough.Acting wise, Viveik Oberoi did a good job of his 2-phased character(the rebel & the politician). But it was Abhimanyu Singh(Bukka Reddy) who stole the show! The perfect Telugu-politicio. I don't remember being more shuddered by any other movies' rape scenes or by the mere commanding presence of a character as when Abhimanyu entered a scene. He has the potential to go a long way providing he chooses to work with the right directors and stories. Another actor to look out for was the blink-and-miss appearance of Sudeep(DCP Anand Mohan, with more screen space in the sequel) who understands the power of silence in having a greater impact then contorted facial expressions or long lines of dialogues. Veteran Shatrugan Sinha(as actor-politician Shivaji Rao, without his trademark toothbrush moustache) suited the character perfectly but fell short on the dialogue delivery in some scenes. The characters of lady actors (Zarina Wahab, Radhika Apte) were not written in depth and had a negligible role in taking the story forward.RGV is a director ready to experiment. He wont make fun of homosexuality in his movies or make his actors lip synch to a song. He's ready to keep trying knowing fully well that the outcome(commercial or critical) is not in anyone's hands. He's an earnest story teller who has yet a lot to learn about what works in a movie and what spoils it. He's an unabashed rebel of the Indian film industry(just like his protégé, Anurag Kashyap, who is way beyond most Indian directors), and that shows in his work.Never lose faith in the man who made Satya. The best of RGV is yet to come. RC is not that masterpiece but is a commendable stepping stone.6/10

adverd film have start to end just violence sequence which i suppose it's pointless. RGV obsess with violent or he become desperate to give one success. RGV has more focus on violence rather than human drama & emotion. before RGV had make a film where story was just little scratch but when you watch film, you become exited because you don't know that what's going to happen in next seen. like DROHI,SATYA,RANGELAA & it was superb but this time in RAKHT CHARITRA you know that what going to happen in next seen. from every dimension film is unnecessary loud. performance vise ASHISH VIDHYATHI was good. VIVEK have same emotion like COMPANY. ABHIMANU SINGH have nothing to do just, oly try to scare audience like villain of 80's. entire film he was sited in home or car & ordering to kill people or own self killing people. and yes, RAMU has done voice over & it's so funny & ridiculious i mean i don't have word to explain. i don't know why critics praise this film. i suggest you don't waste your money to go cinema complex to watch this film & do not waste your time to watch this film on cable or pirated DVD.
