Satya is a 1998 Hindi crime film directed by Ram Gopal Varma with a
screenplay by Anurag Kashyap and Saurabh Shukla. It stars J. D. Chakravarthy, Manoj Bajpai, Urmila Matondkar and Shefali Shah. The film tells the story of Satya, an immigrant who comes to Mumbai seeking his fortune but instead gets sucked into the Mumbai underworld.
Satya was released on 1998 July 3 and was also dubbed in Tamil and Telugu. Made on a shoestring budget of INR 2 crore (roughly $400,000), the film became a surprise hit at the box office, grossing INR 15.5 crore and becoming the 10th highest grossing Indian film of 1998. The film went on to win six Filmfare Awards, including the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie, and three Star Screen Awards.
The music for Satya was given by the young emerging music director Vishal Bhardwaj. Vishal had already won critical acclaim for his music of Maachis and expectations were high from him and he delivered in style.
All in all, India got the first glimpse of organized crime on the big screen with Satya.
