It's no big secret that Ram Gopal Varma is the high priest at the altar of violence where men beyond and beneath the law are worshipped as heroes. In his heyday when he reserved himself as an observer and analyst, sending deep probes into the psyches of his characters, we got films like Satya and Company. And then he decided to promote (or demote) himself to being an unabashed adorer of these larger-than-life characters and stories, perhaps because it gives him a more direct license to revel in and obsess about gore and masochism, and we get these loud and blood-soaked B-movies.
