Ram Gopal Varma's 'Raktacharitra' is an out and out gory and violent film. Seemingly better than his recent attempts, Rakthcharitra is spellbinding and exciting.
You see a vengeful and raging Prakash (Vivek Oberoi) growing into a hero of the masses. RGV shows you the politics, 'goonda raj' in a place called Anantapur in AP and also the many different ways a person can be killed using brain, brawn and other utensils.
The story starts cliched as one of the party members starts feeling jealous about another lower caste man who grows higher and faster in the party leader's eyes. Thus, he arouses a misunderstanding between them and that further leads to bloodshed and killing and finally ends with a personal vendetta coming out successfully.
RGV captures this thrilling drama in his trademark style, only that blood is given more importance. The background music does the trick, you feel the energy in every swoosh of the weapon, you get angry when something unlawful happens to the innocent and you feel extremely happy when the people get the treatment they need.
Raktacharitra's plot is not something new. It is the usual revenge but the portrayal of the revenge is shown in a never before seen way. Too much of blood is shed and the wounds are blatantly shown. Some might even puke watching them. As RGV rightly said, this movie is not for the faint hearted, it is not to be watched with family, it is not for the ladies and housewives, it is only for the true RGV fans and movie fanatics who don't mind outright gore and violence.
Yea, for people who have digested, Saw, Hostel and films of similar lines, RGV's Raktacharitra is a cakewalk but for people who didn't, please donot watch this flick.
Technically, there were a certain flaws in the action choreography. Most of the dialogues lacked the punch while some of them aroused a few laughs. There is hidden comedy between the frames.
The actors deliver their dialogues with a telugu accent which is apt for the plot's location. Kudos to RGV for keeping that in mind. Editing was good but not great. The way the suspense builds up, and paves a way for the sequel, RGV definitely needs a pat on the back.
RGV was quoted saying, “Raktacharitra is like a hardcore porn DVD. Some might hate it, some love it, some may be disgusted by it, but if it is there in the room, everyone wouldn't resist watching it” and Raktacharitra lives up to it.
Rating: 3/5
Raktacharitra – Gory and vengeful vendetta!
