I was very exited about this movie beacause I am a big fan of Nawazudin Siddiquie.The movie is about a real-life killer Raman Raghav, who confessed to murdering 41 people when he was finally brought to justice it the 1960s.the beginning of the film where Siddiqui’s Raman makes a surprise visit to his sister’s apartment and ends up(no spoilers here since Raman’s motives are quite clear from the beginning) beating them to death. The killing done by raman are unintentional.
Siddiqui’s Raman has a larger goal. He is searching for his soulmate - the Raghav who would complete him. And he finds him in the cocaine snorting, sleep-deprived cop played by Vicky Kaushal, who also has no qualms about killing people if it suits his moods and needs.The cat and mouse game that Raman Raghav 2.0 plays out is meant for this realisation to come to the audience and, of course, to Kaushal’s Raghav as well.Kaushal displays a lot of brave acting, including a terrific confrontation scene with his father(Vipin Sharma in a brief appearance).
There is real good cinema in that scene towards the end of the film, and also a reminder that Kashyap has a lot of talent. He just needs to stop making films that are very similar.
