Raman Raghav 2.0 movie review

Rating: 3.5 stars

Nawazuddin Siddiqui stands out in this dark Psychological Thriller with his brilliant portrayal of the psychotic killer of 1960s-70s.
It is generally said that evil exists in each individual on this earth with the percentage of wickedness varying from almost zero to maximum in rarest of the people.
This story is inspired by the notorious serial killer Raman Raghav (an individual) and a fictionalized version of the depiction of the gory, cold blooded murders he committed.
Ramanna uses a regular steel rod to reduce human faces to severed heads and broken skulls. He is shown as a rational human loitering around Mumbai’s underbelly – slums, where he is on the prowl for his next victim.
Such is the detail and simplicity of the character that in one particular scene, when he loosely holds the steel rod (with a bend) and while on his regular walks, he is shown losing his mind on a stray dog, which craftily escapes the psycho’s wrath.

ISLAND CITY starring Vinay Pathak, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Amruta Subhash, Chandan Roy Sanyal premiered at the 72nd Venice Film Festival, Italy

  


Mumbai, September 12, 2015: Ruchika Oberoi, the debutant director of “Island City”produced by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) won FEDEORA award for the Best Young Director at the recently held 72nd Venice Film Festival.

The Hindi feature which is produced under the Ministry of I&B’s 12th Five Year Plan Scheme on film production made its world premiere on September 8th n the competition category of the Venice Days sidebar.

The jury that awarded the director praised the film in their citation - Island City stood out for its surrealistic vision of a quasi-modern world, which is also rooted in the realities of everyday life.

The film starring Vinay Pathak, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Amruta Subhash and Chandan Roy Sanyal in the lead roles, opened to a packed house in Italy who cheered and applauded the film with a standing ovation.

Vikramjit Roy, Head of Sales & Marketing at NFDC, says, “We are delighted at the acclaim won by Island City at the Venice Film Festival and celebrate Ruchika's recognition at such a prestigious festival. Island City's success can be attributed to NFDC's value chain that starts with training and development and transcends in our endeavor to promote the Cinemas of India across the world.”


About Island City

The film follows three comic-dramatic stories set in Mumbai. The first one is about a middle-aged man who wins the office ‘Fun Committee Award’, which entitles him to a whole day full of fun. He is most reluctant to leave the safety of his cubicle, but he has to. Prescribed fun modules have to be completed and non-compliance is not an option.

The second story begins with an autocratic man whose family brings home a television set when he is critically ill and away in a hospital. Now, every night the family plugs into a popular soap whose hero is a man ideal in every way.

While the third story centers on Aarti whose repetitive existence is slowly making her more and more mechanical and numb. Deep inside ferments a disconnect and unease that she is unable to articulate to anyone. Then one day there arrives a most intimate letter and everything changes.
