"Raman Raghav 2.0" is a thriller film, which is based on the notorious serial killer Raman Raghav who operated in Mumbai during the mid-1960s. Raman used a regular steel rod to reduce human faces to severed heads and broken skulls. After the Mumbai police captured him, he confessed that he had committed 41 murders. He was sentenced to death by the Bombay High Court, but it was later changed to life imprisonment.

Anurag Kashyap has written the story and screenplay for "Raman Raghav 2.0" in collaboration with Vasan Bala. The movie is about serial killer Raman (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who stalks the drug-addicted detective (Vicky Kaushal), who is investigating his grisly murders. The film was premiered at the Cannes Directors' Fortnight, where it got a rousing reception.

The audience say the movie has a fresh story and Anurag Kashyap has created an engaging screenplay for it. As psychopath killer Raman, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has delivered brilliant performance, which is the highlight of "Raman Raghav 2.0." Vicky Kaushal has done justice to his role as cop Raghav. Vipin Sharma, Amruta Subhash, Sobhita Dhulipala and Ashok Lokhande's performances are also big assets of the film.

#RamanRaghav2 3/5. What goes inside the mind of a serial killer is told in a realistic manner by @anuragkashyap72 .Dark most of the time . #RamanRaghav2 3/5. Only heartless bad guys in the film,serial killer & drug addict killer cop.@Nawazuddin_S is good but becoming stereotyped

Three solid stars for #RamanRaghav2 ⭐⭐⭐ @anuragkashyap72 has a super hold on this thriller. It affects you. @vickykaushal09 is the real surprise package in #RamanRaghav2 His character's passive aggressive nature captures your attention..@Nawazuddin_S delivers a flawless performance as the nutter serial killer. If you liked #Badlapur you'll love his act in #RamanRaghav2. But all said and done, you need to have a stomach for violence, gore and all things nasty and grim to like #RamanRaghav2 So much death!

‪#‎RamanRaghav‬ 2.0 - Gruesomely Brilliant!!! Madness at its best. Anurag Kashyap at it's best. The genre this movie belongs to; he is the perfect person to craft at this best. Finest performances withdrawn from the ace Nawazuddin and Vicky Kaushal. It is these two actors that make this watch a perfect delight making you feel gruesomely brilliant. Raman Raghav is a dark bitter coffee that may not find many takers; but those who enjoy a change; this bitter coffee is true to its made. Go for it.

Dark. So dark. Dark only in a way @anuragkashyap72 could deliver. Can't get over how real and layered the characters were #RamanRaghav2 wow! I loved how @vickykaushal09 held his own against nawaz. Totally underplayed Raghavan and dint try to stand out when unneeded. Super actor Raghavan anywhichway is super complex and dark. Was so fascinating to see @vickykaushal09 play it out the way he did. He is so real #RR2 Very exciting to see where @anuragkashyap72 is taking Indian cinema. Raman raghav is wicked! Kashyap is a genius. We need more of such films Ramanna & Raghavan's romance is almost analogous to the one shared by Hannibal Lector & Will Graham in Hannibal. So dark. @anuragkashyap72 Kashyap doesn't disappoint with his female lead yet again. @sobhitaD's character is layered and has so many shades to her. She nails it.

#RamanRaghav2 a razor-sharp, twisted & terrific film by @anuragkashyap72 elevated by super-wicked, creepy Nawazuddin Siddiqui ... Edgy Vicky Kaushal & vulnerable Amruta Subhash. #RamanRaghav2 #RamanRaghav2 is like Sushi. It's not for everyone and that's absolutely fine. But I loved it. #Kadakk
