SATYA stands out from the normal Bollywood romance fair, being a rather dark and gritty look at the crime underworld of Mumbai. The movie follows the fortunes of a guy called Satya (lit: "Truth") in the underworld, and the subtle... Full review

while Sunil is good with his subtle comedy.....Satya is much bothered about the students in the college going astray by becoming addicts to bad habits.....Naga Chaitanya's performance is impressive;....The dialogues too are not impressive.....In short, Josh is average, but not the right script for star son Nag Chaitanya's launch..... ...
