Rc-2 Review

Ram Gopal Varma movie Rakta Charitra 2 is really not a continuation to the first part. You need not see Rakta Charitra 1 to understand the second part. If first part is all about rise of Pratap Ravi, Second part is about the rivalry between Pratap Ravi and Surya.
Surya Bhanu Reddy Aka Surya (Surya) an engineer who wants to settle down in life even after his father’s (Narsimha Reddy from 1st part) murder. But Surya takes the revenge path after gruesome killing of his mother, sister and brother with a TV bomb by Pratap Ravi in an effort to wipe of the rivals in his area.
In his first attempt, Surya fails to kill Pratap Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) by plotting a road side bomb. After the incident Pratap Ravi kills every possible enemy in Anandapuram Area. At this point Surya goes underground to escape from Ravi men and better plan. DCP Mohan Prasad (Sudheep) who learns the Surya’s hand Ravi murder attempt arrests Surya’s wife Bhavani (Priyamani) and blackmails Surya to surrender. To save his wife and son, Surya surrenders to the police and go behind the bars.
The rest of the story is how Surya able to take revenge on Ravi and who all are supported.
Rakta Charitra 2 has more drama, action and it is cinematic too. In this part there are more gripping scenes compared to the first part. First half of the movie is good while the second half lost its tempo towards climax. RGV killed the audience anxiety with half baked climax in the end. Surya killing Ravi in the climax is cinematic. Muddu Krishna (Moddu Seenu) character is not etched well.
Surya’s character is highlight for the movie. Vivek Oberoi role toned down to elevate Surya. Varma showed his skill in not showing Ravi character as antagonist for the film.

Finally, It can be watched once for Surya.
