7/10
One of the most memorable underworld films

Warning: Spoilers
RGV's career can be divided into 2 ways, The Ramu who made Shiva, Rangeela, Satya and then later James, Shiva(2006), RGV Ki Aag SATYA is one of the best underworld films, far away from the romance, dance from other Hindi films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai which dominated Bollywood. Satya is as dark as possible, shot in real locations, Mumbai and dingy areas never seen in cinema like Dil To Paagal Hai The film may seem a normal Underworld rise and fall theme but the way it's explored is superb, The characters of Bhiku Matre and many characters are well shown though Satya character even as per RGV is quite sketchy but yet the dilemma and emotions are well captured.

Direction by RGV is fab Music in limited doses but the songs got famous like Sapne Mein Milti, Kallu Mama.etc

Chakravarthy is good in his role sadly his career didn't go further Manoj Bajpai got born with this film, before this he did small roles, he is superb as Bhiku, Amongst rest Snehal Dabi, Makrand Deshpande, Saurabh Shukla(also director) and all are fantastic Urmila is okay as the heroine, Aditya Shrivastav is good, Paresh Rawal leaves a mark, Govind Namdeo for once is restrained.
