Satya 2 is the story of a young man, Satya (Puneet Singh Ratn), who leaves his town and heads for Mumbai. Here he wins the trust of influential and rich people. After this he starts building his own company known as ‘the company’. He hires people to work for the company and slowly its web grows. His aim is to punish those who are in power and who misuse it for their own vested interests. He wants to empower the poor by channeling the money from the rich, who have accumulated it through illegal means, to the needy.
The first half of the movie is pacey and keeps you glued to the screen. Unfortunately, the second half is not as good as the first as the story loses steam. The songs distract from the main theme of the movie and are avoidable. The acting of the lead star is commendable. In spite of lack of big stars the movie will do a fair business at the box office because of its compelling story and thoroughly professional acting by all the actors.
The movie highlights the current scenario of Mumbai well and its fabric is well depicted. However, one feels that the story leans more towards fiction than reality. It is hard to believe all that Satya achieves in the movie. If the story had been more close to reality, it would have had a better impact. For example, the company’s men keep executing people and it is unbelievable that nobody can do anything about it.
What is admirable is the composure that Satya shows in the movie as he carries out his plan of creating the company. The uniqueness about this company is that its members don’t know each other. Also, if one is caught it will not lead to the company’s downfall as all of its members are unknown identities.
The concept presented in the movie is certainly unique and will keep the viewer interested. Satya 2 is a onetime watch. It will not achieve the success that its predecessor achieved, nevertheless it will do fairly well at the box office.

November 11, 2013Sounds like an attempt to depict reality in fiction, but as you describe the reality is stretched too far into fiction affecting the film’s credibility and consequently its intended impact. Not my cup of tea!
