Well, Anurag Kashyap and his movies that are raw, dark, bold and gritty always offer exciting & engrossing stuffs to the audiences. That's the reason, I am fond of most of his movies including my favourite of the decade (#GOW both parts). Here, in Raman Raghav 2.0, he returns to form and tells a captivating saga of a psycho serial killer who is in search of his soulmate. It's an interesting plot and Kashyap's storytelling is the same too but sadly not entirely. The problem I found here is that the chapters that include Vicky Kaushal, a.k.a, Raghavan or Raghav ain't that gripping, also they taste patience occasionally. In comparison to the parts of Nawazuddin's Raman, Vicky's Raghav ones are merely anything. Both the actors are commanding on screen though, but Nawazuddin is just something else. And in the end, it's solely his movie. Poor Vicky is convincing but looks feeble in front of the gem called Nawaz. And that's why, this otherwise smartly made thriller falls. Nawazuddin Siddiqui post GOW, has never looked back. He kept on giving splendid performances one after another. And with this one, he's set a benchmark. He's in his own league now, particularly like Irrfan Khan.
Thus, he makes Raman Raghav 2.0 a not to be missed watch. It's a film that's neither as memorable as Kashyap's GOW or perfect as his Black Friday. Still Mr. Kashyap is back with a good solid offering that should be viewed & lauded due to his trump card, i.e, Nawazuddin Siddiqui - the beauty!
My Rating - 2.5 (for the movie) + 1 extra (for Nawaz's stupendous acting) = 3.5/5
I was not fully satisfied in totality yet I enjoyed it thanks to the Killer RAMAN.
