Story:

Surya who loses his family because of Pratap plans to kill him in a bomb blast. However, they escape. The police officer Mohan Prasad (Kannada actor Sudeep), initially takes Surya’s wife Bhavani and arrests Surya. Surya reveals the flash back why he wants to kill Pratap. How does Surya take revenge? Who gets benefited by this? Forms the other story

Highlights

Extremely powerful introduction and exceptional performance by Surya

The first half of the film is extremely good with great cinematography and extra-ordinary expressions by every actor in the film. RGV brilliantly tells how people change according to the situations. Varma played it safe by elevating few right characters, and by keepings their power balances equal.

The second half of the film goes slow with all the complex character coming to same stage. The climax of the film could have been much better since Varma did not portrayed totally the characters of Paritala Ravi and Maddelacheruvu Suri but just took an inspiration from these characters. This might disappoint few Tollywood audiences.

Final Verdict

Rakta Charitra 2 surely outdoes its prequel. The climax of the film could have been much better as it falls short of audiences’ expectations from the real life characters.
