Raw, brutal and stylish, that's Anurag Kashyap's Mumbai slasher about serial killer Raman 2.0 smashing peoples
heads into pulp inspired by his hero, the true life serial killer Raman Raghav who terrorized Bombay in the 1960's.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the phenomenal outstanding actor, yet again plays a murderer (as in Badlapur from 2015)
but this time he's a Monster and not at all repentant and finally likeable as in Badlapur.

This film is dark and nasty and maybe a bit too slick, well, i guess the old Anurag Kashyap IS NO MORE and
his indie filmmaking days are over. Well, by Bollywood standards this film may not be mainstream, but certainly
by western standards. Soon we will surely hear he's fraternizing with hipsters as Quentin Tarantino, yuck!
I much prefer his other crime movie Ugly, it was much better and with more substance to it, and the power of
his masterpieces Gulaal, Black Friday and Dev. D he will probably never again reach as a filmmaker.

This film is very gruesome and the story is about a mentally ill murderer's killing spree in Mumbai and a slime cop
murdering people to hide the tracks revealing his drug addiction. Vicky Kaushal is also good as the intensely un-
likeable police inspector, the soul brother to the serial killer.

In the films text intro we get to know that Raman Raghav committed 41 murders in the 1960's Bombay and that
this film is NOT about him. That's correct as this film is about the killer Raman/Sindhi Dalwai (Nawazuddin) and
this film takes place during his murder spree between 2013-2015. He starts off killing a drug dealer with a hammer
and later shifts to a car-jack when he kills his sister, her husband and her little kid. Happily he continues to murder
people and he appears to be some sort of an evil force of nature, no bad feelings, he just smilingly ends your life.

He has a true soulmate though, he thinks, in the police inspector Raghavan (Kaushal) who's also a killer and a drug
addict. Raghavan likes to party and take drugs with his party girl girlfriend Smrutika/Simmy (Sobhita Dhulipala)
and when he makes his first killing (probably the first, we really don't know that) to cover his tracks, and when he's
befriended by Raman, he's really on a downhill track into murder and madness.
