User Reviews

Unconventional Cinema

Anurag Kashyap has always been the one who experiments a lot with his movies. Watching his movies, you hate what is happening but love the movie at the same time. Raman Raghav was also a roller coaster ride.

This movie is like a book with different chapters dealing with different situations and characters. It displays emotions like never seen before. Each scene says something, nothing is redundant or useless.

No one in the movie performed below my satisfaction level. All the new actors gave amazing support to the main characters, who were Raman and Raghav. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has achieved a special place in my heart now. He is doing wonders. It looks like he understood exactly the thought process of the cinematographer, the essence of the story and the dream of the director.

But most of all, I like the way it ended. It is really an example of unconventional cinema.
