A cinematic Marvel, the best thing about Satya is that it moves ahead with every scene and is very fast paced. Best gangster movie of all time in any language. See more 10/10/2020 Satya is along with an on the edge of seat hard-hitting thriller, an untypically insightful journey of a man in the dark underbelly of city, who turns to crime because of circumstances but still remains a man whose heart beats the same as it does for an average bloke who has desires to beat circumstances and live a life unmarred by conflicts and dressed in familial love. See more 11/08/2014 One of the best Indian Gangster movies, canvassing the character of Satya & the city of Mumbai simultaneously. P.S:The Plot Synopsis provided on RT is wrong. See more 01/10/2014 "Truth" is regarded as the first Mumbai noir. In contrast to RGV's later works D and Rakht Charitra, this one still has the masala standbys of comedy, romance, and music videos. Quite dated now, it was critically acclaimed, won 13 awards, and inspired numerous movies. The most well known in America being Slumdog Millionaire. See more Read all reviews
