Reasons- Why I liked Satya?????

Reasons- Why I liked Satya?????

1998-It was my 2nd year in engineering and as every hostel guy I was seeing lots of movies. I was testing new flavour of hollywod cinema staring from Jurassic park to commando to titanic to home alone and lots more. I also enjoyed Pyar to hona hi tha, Ghulam in monsoon of 1998. But unfortunately I missed the gem “satya”. Though I knew that it was a great movie by my one of the favourite -Ramgopal verma, the trailers did not aroused me to see it. While in December, when I was roaming on scooter and saw poster of satya on theatre, I immediately got into cinema hall. And one of the greatest movie experiences started. When I get out of cinema hall I was completely in the movie. I was trying to get out of the effect of the Bhiku mhatre, vidya and satya.,..but for almost 2-3 days they were coming in front of me.

Since that time, I have seen lots of movies and I like many of them. But satya is satya. So I am mentioning reasons why I liked Satya…
• It has good balance of commercial as well as art cinema. It does not bore you or it does not force you to believe unrealistic things.
• Music and songs do not interrupt the flow of the story. Till today, I am playing background theme of satya on my PC. “kagazo se kaat ke” is my all time favourite song.
• Dialogues are closed to real life. for ex.conversation between Bhiku mhatre and his wife.
• Costumes are also closed to real life. You are not watching under world dons wearing over coats or suits.
• Glimpses of real Mumbai. Great cinematography. You can smell the chawls and bars of Mumbai. You can feel the drops on rain while watching “gila gila paani”. The first frame of the movie… mumbai’s view from sea…can be proof of cinematographer’s brilliance
• Sleek editing.
• Characters (Satya, Bhiku Mhatre, Vidya, chader, kallu mama) which you can relate to your life.
* Movie does not favour any particular side of characters (neither police nor gangsters)

There are many more reasons for satya beina an unforgettable movie.
It inspired many movies like company, vastav, sarfarosh and many more and started new genre of balanced movies. So as per my view, Satya is almost near to perfect movie. I have seen it lots of time after my first watching, but still it remains one of the toppers of my favorite movies.

    Amen!

    Satya, truly, was a trend-setter for underworld movies in India (the only debatable contender is Parinda).

    Satya is to Bollywood, what Godfather is to Hollowood, I wrote in my blog once: http://vishal12.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/satya/

    Vishal

    Fully agree with you. SATYA IS SATYA!!! It gave us Ramu, india’s answer to quentin tarantino. For me satya is right up there among my most favorite movies.

    Geez, enough with the Satya posts. We know its good, how many people are going to write the exact same thing? It’s like saying why i think The Godfather is a great movie…..

    U r absolutely right that satya is almost near to perfect movie but Shailesh Sarfarosh was not inspired from Satya. It was completly different from satya.

    “india’s answer to quentin tarantino”

    hahahahahaha

    Yess .. it was a great watch.. remember Anurag from crest where i was a editor along with aarti .. after watching satya
    i came to know that he is the one who wrote it along with saurabh shukla ( Talented but pure lazy ) .. The point i wanna make here is i collection of great enthusiasts .. and visionaries control and motivate a certain project.. so was the case with the brooding SATYA !!! it surely had all the broodness of the team which was involved .. though one line im sure belongs to RGV..
    ” Bhagwan ko maanta hai ???
    RGV : NAHIIIII !!
