I was in 11th Standard when I went to see this movie SHIVA, and was completely blown out seeing the movie.... what a sleek direction and what excellent screenplay. This was because in the 90s the Hindi Film was on dying stage and no films had a class… That was the first time I was really appreciated Ramu (Ram Gopal Varma)’s works and had become a fan of his movie… then came Rangeela which OK can give full credit to Aamir’s Mumbai accent… but was not that Ramu kinda film.
Satya was one film which everybody knows was of one man show of RAMU to bring Manoj’s character a greatness. COMPANY was yet another class film which nobody can make it better than RAMU. Then second film which I liked was SHOOL and then even MAST was really MAST. For some reason I didin’t like some stories of Darna Manna Hai… some were really good like the one of Nana Patekar and Saif ali’s story. Lastly Sarkar was no doubt good if you see character wise but did not have the punch in story and moment you feel that story is becoming gripping it ends abruptly…. This is where I felt RAMU has lost his touch a bit.
One reason maybe that the class of HINDI film is raised and there are many RAMU like people who are giving some good movies. But the main problem with Ramu is that he keeps on takingthe same topic and ends up the film in a mess. Maybe he uses more directors and moves more on research. But you might have noticed that Film climax is pathetic in Ramu’s latest movies not all but mostly… like if you see ROAD. It was an excellent movie to start off with but as you went ahead the movie was going no where. So I feel while doing something different Ramu has lost his touch…. Though I haven’t seen Amitabh’s Nishabdh as yet…
I have this feeling that he is capable of doing some excellent movies but he tends to overdo at times. Solution to this might be that he should now concentrate on being the director himself and not rely upon others like his assistant to direct. Take a new subject (Not LOVE or SHAADI or GANGSTER) add in your flavour and then people will enjoy it…
But he is one of the best directors among HINDI film makers and I always like to see his movies.
