Rakht Charitra 2 2010

Rakta Charitra 2 (transl. History of Blood 2) is a 2010 Indian biographical political action thriller film directed by Ram Gopal Varma and written by Prashant Pandey. Based on the life of Paritala Ravindra, the film is a direct sequel to Rakta Charitra which released two months earlier. The film features an ensemble cast of Vivek Oberoi, Suriya, Sudeep, Shatrughan Sinha, Priyamani, Radhika Apte, Zarina Wahab, Sushmita Mukherjee, Ajaz Khan, Tanikella Bharani and Subhalekha Sudhakar. Shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, with the latter titled Rakht Charitra 2, the film was released on 3 December 2010 and received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with lukewarm comparisons with the original film as well as the repetitive narrative being the common points of criticism. Despite emerging as a flop during its theatrical run, the film has gained cult status and is regarded as one of Varma's best works with Suriya receiving praise for his memorable debut in both Hindi and Telugu industries through this film.
